## Summary

Hailuo AI, the account of MiniMax, posts footage it says H3 generated to illustrate ancient Chinese stories and idioms. A quoted post describes making a "Sima Guang smashes the vat" surveillance-style video with MiniMax H3 in ComfyUI on RunningHub. The method generates a reference image, then segments of the scene, with fixed camera framing described in the prompt.

> 视频生成要描述固定机位
