Put It Together & Where Next
A small project, a few taste tips, and where to go for the deep dive.

The big idea
In one hour you've made images from words, learned to prompt and art-direct them, held a look consistent, and turned a still into video. The last step is taste: choosing well, trimming the weak ones, and finishing properly. For the full, deep treatment of Midjourney — eight chapters of controlled experiments — there's the Midjourney Book, and there's more of the free series this week.
Key insight: Generation is easy; taste is the edge. Make lots, keep little, and finish what you keep.
What ‘good’ looks like
Concept art, cinematic lighting, a finished piece — and a short clip to round it off. This is the bar to aim for.

Key points to remember
You can now make, direct, and animate AI visuals.
Taste and curation matter more than raw output.
The Midjourney Book is your deep-dive reference.
