leftatgreenland · reddit · 2026-08-08

A developer shared their process of generating a dialogue video between Chandler and Joey from Friends using MiniMax H3 via ComfyUI.

• Challenges & Solutions: The author's computer was weak, and the first five generations made Chandler look 100 percent like Joey. They eventually achieved a recognizable mix using image-to-video with a 1995 photo of Matthew Perry.
• Prompt Design: With ChatGPT's help, the author wrote a detailed 30-second script prompt covering the setting (Central Perk), camera work (sitcom-style medium two-shot), character actions, and specific dialogue, explicitly requiring accurate lip sync and photorealistic quality.
