ANECDOTE

How He Made A Viral Runway Video

  • Tech Diver built viral Instagram videos by combining Nano Banana outputs with Runway Act 2 to animate and transform his original footage.
  • He used close driver videos and iterative prompting to get high-quality, shareable world‑simulation results.
INSIGHT

Video Models Create World Simulations

  • Video models act as world simulators, filling unseen areas with plausible continuations instead of simple filters.
  • That simulated-world reveal triggers the 'is it real?' reaction which drives virality.
ADVICE

Iterate Many Prompts Rapidly

  • Run multiple prompts and tweak settings like structure deformation and slider values to find the best output.
  • Treat model variations as experiments and iterate several times to learn strengths and weaknesses.
