How to better direct Midjourney ‘shoots.’
How to use Image prompts and the — seed parameter.
This is a short write-up on how I use Midjourney and ‘direct’ the scenes. Or rather, try to because it doesn’t matter how tight you set all your parameters; there is always a small amount of randomness that can throw the scene off entirely (and thus also create happy accidents)
All features and parameters are described here, too: https://docs.midjourney.com/docs/quick-start
TLDR: Use a image prompt and the — seed parameter. You can use a real image for the prompt or have Midjourney create one for you. Using multi-image prompts helps tighten the scene some more and don’t forget to use prompt weights (thing::2)
So let’s start with a base image; this will be used as the main character.
Now you must understand that Midjourney does not use a filter like TikTok or snapshot does, so the base image is just that, a base for other things to happen on. Other prompts to run against. And in many conditions, the resulting image might not look like the base image at all because Midjourney (and other image generation techniques) use a visual description to first…
