Upscaling frames with Nano Banana to 4K 21:9 creates a true cinematic look.
- 05:15 ↗
Using upscaled frames as new base prompts yields a more polished and consistent visual style.
Workflow outlined in the video
- Select Seedance 2 (or a comparable model) and set clip length to 15 seconds.
- Provide a wide‑aspect input image to achieve a 21:9 cinematic frame.
- Incorporate prompt tricks such as sunglasses on known actors to reduce censorship.
- Generate multiple variations, then upscale chosen frames with Nano Banana to 4K 21:9.
- Reuse the upscaled images as new prompts to build subsequent scenes.
- Monitor generation costs per clip to stay within your budget.
