Do you remember the first time you saw Toy Story?

It felt impossible.

Plastic toys had come alive. The world of animation tilted on its axis.

What’s happening now with Google’s Nano Banana and Midjourney makes that moment look small.

I don’t say this lightly: this combo changes animation forever.

Why this feels like “God Mode”

Until yesterday, if you wanted animation worth watching, you had two choices:

  • Spend weeks grinding through frame-by-frame work in software built for masochists.

  • Or pay a team of professionals more money than you have.

But now?

Animations that used to take days can be built in minutes.

Not akward, low-quality GIFs.

I mean cinematic transitions, season-long timelapses, character transformations, logo stings, looping UI backgrounds, all generated with frightening speed and precision.

This is not about prompts anymore.

The secret is frames.

You define a starting frame and an ending frame. Midjourney and Nano Banana take care of everything in between. The AI does what animators once sweated over: deciding the most natural way for one image to evolve into another.

Imagine:

  • Autumn fading seamlessly into winter.

  • A wide shot zooming into an intimate close-up.

  • A child’s face aging into adulthood before your eyes.

  • A sketch morphing into photorealism.

All of it happens inside your browser. And it looks good. Too good.

How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential

Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.

Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.

Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.

The tension nobody sees yet

People are sleeping on this.

They’re still stuck in “prompt-engineering mode,” thinking text input is the holy grail.

But prompts are the past. Frames are the future.

All because frames give control back to the creator.

No more gambling with AI chaos. You say: Start here. End there. The machine obeys.

It’s choreography, not roulette.

And once you taste that power, you see every project differently:

  • Marketing teams don’t need stock footage anymore.

  • Indie creators can craft film-quality motion without Pixar’s budget.

  • Storytellers can show time, emotion, and transformation with tools they understand.

Animation stops being an industry reserved for the few. It becomes a playground for anyone with vision.

But…

This is not just about art.

It’s about money.

If you can generate this kind of content on demand, you can sell it. Brands need motion graphics. Startups need product loops. Musicians need video backdrops. Influencers need animated hooks.

Until now, they paid agencies five-figure contracts for that. Tomorrow, they might pay you.

Nano Banana + Midjourney turns animation into a service you can deliver after dinner, not after three months of burnout.

VIDEO OF THE WEEK: Nano Banana + Midjourney

Why you should care: This isn’t hype. It’s proof.

In the video, you’ll see:

  • A season-long timelapse that looks like a BBC documentary.

  • A character aging decades in seconds.

  • Logos, icons, and motion graphics created on the fly.

  • Seamless loops that could run forever on a website or music video backdrop.

It’s the closest thing to “cheating” animation I’ve ever seen.

You’ve got two choices right now.

You can ignore this and let the first wave of AI animators eat the opportunity.

Or you can grab the tools, learn the workflow, and ride the curve before it’s obvious.

The future won’t belong to people who know prompts. It will belong to people who master frames.

Nano Banana + Midjourney is not just a shortcut. It’s a reset button for animation, design, and storytelling.

And if you’ve ever dreamed of making moving images that actually move people, you don’t need a studio anymore. You need a laptop, curiosity, and this video.

So watch it.

Twice.

And start imagining what stories you could tell when animation becomes as fast as sketching on a napkin.

Thanks for reading!

Best,

Miroslav from The Zilahut
