Hedra

We had so much fun last Monday at the "Candlelit Flow with Sheryl" in our old Soma office. Thank you Sapienne for co-hosting and special shoutout to Sheryl Chen for creating a calming atmosphere - an hour to leave the stress behind 🧘♀️

My most insane outbound experiment: I'm sending custom comic books to my leads. Making 1 comic takes ~48 hours. Here's HOW we're doing this & how they perform: [HOW THEY ARE MADE] These are made in Hedra using: - Nano Banana (consistent characters) - Seedream 5.0 (graphic/NSFW images) - GPT Image 2 High (comic book covers/complex pages) Step 1: Create your characters Once you've generated a cool character, get nano banana to create a character reference t-pose sheet with 4-6 angles. Save the images of your character as an "element" in Hedra (this lets you @ the character). This also works for: - environments - vehicles - (really any asset) Step 2: Write a loooooong story I spend 45-90 minutes writing a complete story for each comic. Why? Because every comic we're writing is personalized to the lead. Example 1: Stripe's new CRO (Tyler Bryson) is a Japanese car enthusiast. So the comic will feature him as a race car driver in his '71 Datsun 240Z. (Sorry for the spoilers Tyler - but expect a comic soon). Example 2: The comic I'm holding in this selfie is for Torq. It features Torq and his pet pterodactyl who have already been featured in their OWN comic series made by Don Jeter, Maycie Belmore, and Bob Boyle. It also features the Jaffa Clock Tower, which I believe is visible from Ofer's office at Torq HQ (Sorry, you guys got a spoiler too). After writing your massive story, put it in GPT, Grok, Claude, or whatever you like. Paste it + add this prompt: "This is for a comic I'm making in Hedra. Turn this into a 30-45 page comic and break down each page and panel. Also add the style of the shot, the environment, and any expressions by the characters." Step 3: Paste your story into Hedra's agent Once you've done that, ask it to make the first 3-5 pages and @ any of your elements for PERFECT character consistency. Step 4: Download as PDF and store on send.co I line each of my pages side-by-side in Hedra. At the end, hold command + select the pages 1-by-1, in order, that you want to download. They'll go in a ZIP. Open the zip, and again, 1-by-1, in order, select your pages and create a PDF. We're sending these in the mail (see comments for that) AND digitally. We use send to story every comic. We can track opens that way. [RESULTS] We're either onto something or this will be a colossal waste of time. So far, we've sent 4 comics to our leads and booked 3 meetings. They are impossible to ignore. Also - on the final 2 pages of the comic, we add a sales pitch. Assuming they make it to the end, our comic says (1) who we are & (2) how we can help them. Will keep you updated with results after we send our 10th.

Fantastic work by Exact Agency. Very cool concept and stunning visuals created with Hedra. The Hedra team wishes you the best of luck at the The Australian AI Film Awards - we'll be cheering you on.

How Hedra became a part of the Texas Rangers Baseball Club's ballpark entertainment It's amazing to see how Hedra reaches sports fans and how far a small team can take their entertainment show. The Rangers' ballpark crew is only three people, and they make everything you see on the video board across 81 home games a season. They started with turning their TV announcers into babies calling the big moments of the season. Now they're placing their mascot into all kinds of scenes and making their fans laugh. We sat down with Chris DeRuyscher, Colin Drake, and Brian Contreras to hear how they actually use it. Also a good time to plan your next trip to Texas and catch a game :) 👉 Read Full Interview: https://lnkd.in/gkZvbEdN 🤝 Book a Meeting: https://lnkd.in/ge9-bEea

“The Zim: Festival of Flavors” — a cinematic exploration created with Hedra. What stands out is the attention given to a part of worldbuilding that’s rarely explored. Food is more than a visual detail. It reflects culture, tradition, celebration, and the everyday lives of the people who inhabit this universe. Every dish, gathering, and interaction was designed to feel like a natural extension of The Zim rather than a standalone concept. This is the direction we’re excited to see: AI helping creators build living worlds with depth, consistency, and emotional authenticity. A strong example of what becomes possible when thoughtful creative direction is paired with the right tools. Built with Hedra Directed and produced by Exact

One of the things we love most at Hedra is seeing clients find real value in the platform. FINSO, an AI-creative agency based in Germany, makes ads for e-commerce brands. What stands out about their setup is range. Talking heads built from base clips plus B-roll. Cartoon and VSL-style explainers. Documentary-style pieces. Even native-ad images for Google. All of it out of one workflow, using Kling and Veo 3.1 among others in Hedra. In our latest interview, founder Marcel Gabel breaks down the full pipeline: how they research winning concepts, script and prompt with AI, and generate images and videos in Hedra. Production time went from a one-week wait per creative to a finished ad in 3–4 hours. Read how Finso tests every ad format, or book a meeting to learn how you can leverage Hedra for your ads. 👉 Read Full Interview: https://lnkd.in/g7SVytQN 🤝 Book a Meeting: https://lnkd.in/ge9-bEea

“The Zim: Zveller Race” — a narrative AI piece created with Hedra. What stands out is the creative foundation behind the work. Years of world-building, character development, and narrative design create the consistency that allows every performance and visual decision to feel part of the same universe. This is the direction we’re excited to see: AI supporting complete storytelling systems rather than isolated generations. A strong example of what’s possible when experienced filmmakers pair intentional creative direction with the right tools. Built with Hedra Directed and produced by Exact

Event planners are using AI to show clients their vision before the venue is even booked. Tools like Hedra can turn photos and concepts into quick video mockups: venue walkthroughs, animated welcome messages, sizzle reels for a themed event like weddings or corporate events. It's turns a "trust me, it'll look great" into "here's exactly what it'll look like." Here is a simple tutorial on how you can get started with Hedra for Event Planning👇 https://lnkd.in/gQP2Uz3e #EventPlanning #EventProfs #AItools #EventTech
