Then, marketing hats on 🎩 - Does the light fit each scene? - Is our logo sharp and fully visible? - Does our RGB: 227, 57, 9 hold from studio to summit? How have you been using @MiniMax_AI H3 Image?

Our bottle kept changing shape 😅 Slimmer here, squarer shoulders there. The fix: always use the studio shot as the reference, and literally tell it “same proportions, same rounded shoulders.” @MiniMax_AI H3 Image

New merch just dropped? 👀 Not quite, it’s AI. We tested @MiniMax_AI H3 Image (now on the MachGen platform and API) on one bottle in three very different places. Notes from the trip 🧵

🎬 Made with MachGen Tuesday “A Remote Call” by Chioma Onwumere, founder of the AI Canteen: a grandma vs. a video call 😄 “Gran, I can see right up yer nose.” “Don’t put it to yer ear, Gran!” “Gran… I’m in yer pocket.” The Irish banter is spot on ☘️ 🧵

Why is it called butterfly lighting? 🦋 Light directly above the face casts a tiny butterfly-shaped shadow under the nose. Want the exact prompts for all four lights? Reply “LIGHT” 👇

A studio day with a lighting crew → thousands of dollars + a full day of setup. Four lighting setups with Nano Banana on MachGen → under $1, in minutes. But the real win isn’t cost. It’s testing every mood before you generate a single second of video 💡

Something we learned the hard way 👇 Image-to-video tends to keep the lighting of your first frame. We started with a flat reference, and no prompt could bring the mood back. Now we set the light in the still first, then animate. Game changer
5
The workflow 👇 ➡️ Create one neutral portrait ➡️ Relight it one light at a time: “keep her exactly the same, change only the lighting” ➡️ Use each relit image as your video reference ➡️ Animate Under $1, under 1 minute.

Daylight saving just ended. Less daylight, more lighting 💡 Cinematographer cheat sheet for your next prompt: 🎨 Rembrandt: triangle of light on the cheek ✨ Butterfly: light from above, Hollywood glamour 🌗 Split: half the face in shadow 🕯️ Practical: a lamp or candle in frame Which one’s your go-to? 👇

Pro tip: describe light like a cinematographer. Source + direction + quality + color. ❌ “cinematic lighting, dramatic mood” ✅ “warm lamp frame-left, soft key 45° off axis, cool window glow behind” One lighting style per prompt, and repeat it in every shot for consistency

How to use them in AI video tools Add the phrase to your prompt, after the subject and setting: 🎨 “Rembrandt lighting, a triangle of light on the shadowed cheek” ✨ “butterfly lighting from above, classic Hollywood glamour” 🌗 “split lighting, half the face in deep shadow” 🕯️ “lit only by a candle in frame, warm flicker”
