Whats up people, I want to save you time and, more importantly, I want to save you money. Here is the "North Star" for Febuary 2026. Trim the Fat (The Core Stack) This is 90% of your work right now: - Images: Freepik or Higgsfield - Video: Kling (Go direct. Best cost-to-quality, 1080p, no watermarks.) - Voice: Google Veo3 (For lip syncing, ElevenLabs is still the best for voice generation ) The "Pro" Workflow: Speed & Consistency - Photo Generation: Nano Banana Pro in 2K is the industry standard for production. (this is in both higgsfield and freepik) - Lock the Hero First: Get your lighting and location right on a single hero image BEFORE you expand the scene. If you don't lock the "vibe" early, you’ll be chasing consistency forever. - Stop fighting the model: Every model has a breaking point. Your job isn't to force it; it's to design shots that play to its strengths. Hide weak moments with camera movement or focus shifts. Match the Tool to the Shot Stop using one model for everything. Use a sniper, not a sledgehammer. - Talking Heads: Google Veo3. - Cinematic B-Roll: Kling 2.6. - Product Shots: Kling 2.5 (First & Last Frame is a game-changer for control). - High Motion/Sports: Hailuo (Everything else breaks when things move fast). The Hard Truth: Prompting is the Low-Value Skill I know everyone wants to be a "Prompt Engineer," but here’s the reality: The AI is the easy part. The THINKING is the hard part. If you want to make 5x the money of everyone else in this space, you need to stop obsessing over prompts and start mastering the Income Multipliers: 1. Video Editing: Storytelling happens in the edit, not the prompt. 2. Sound Design: This is the bridge between "amateur" and "professional." 3. Workflow Architecture: Building systems (like Weavy or Freepik Spaces) so you aren't starting from zero every time. Your February Homework The goal for this month is simple: Fewer tools, better work. - Consolidate: Kill the overlapping subscriptions. - Build: Create one reusable node-based workflow. - Focus: Create fewer, stronger pieces. Quality wins the market right now, not volume.

I’ve had some people ask me what the difference is between Freepik and Higgsfield. One of the main differences is Freepik’s node-based model called "Spaces." Here’s a quick video I made going through some Freepik Spaces use cases and why I recommend getting familiar with this tool. Check it out.
