Nano Banana + Runway Act 2 = full creative flexibility Image generation might feel “solved” - but Nano Banana shows we’re only just scratching the surface. It’s insanely fast (sub-5s per render), cheap, and gives you realism + flexibility to turn any image into *exactly what you want*. NO BACKGROUND REMOVAL OR GREEN SCREEN NEEDED! Here’s how I tested it: 1. Started with a selfie 2. Dropped it into Nano Banana (available on Freepik + Supercreator.ai) - Swapped clothes, switched styles, even turned myself into an animated character - Each render in seconds → lets you iterate quickly and find the best variation 3. Took that output frame straight into Runway Act 2 - Enabled gestures toggle (so it follows real motion from my driver video) - Expression level 3-4 worked best - Result: 30s of hyper-realistic performance, grounded in my original acting Why this combo is powerful: - Nano Banana → instant high-quality characters, costumes, or scene changes - Act 2 → extends it into motion, blending real performance with AI realism - Together → you can “become” anyone or anything, while keeping it anchored in your real gestures + voice Tips: - Always show as much of the character as possible in your first frame (hands/face visible) for stronger consistency - Don’t overcomplicate prompts - start simple (clothes swap, character change), then expand - Iteration speed = LEARNING speed. The faster you can test, the faster you’ll master the tool What excites me most is how grounded this feels. When you blend real performance with digital reality, it doesn’t just look like a filter - it feels alive. That’s where the opportunity is. I’ll be posting more examples as I keep testing Nano Banana + Act 2. If there’s something you want me to try, drop it in the comments.
