Higgsfield's blog shows how to make video inside ChatGPT, which cannot render video itself: add the Higgsfield plugin, sign in and describe the shot, and ChatGPT picks a model and returns the clip. It advises briefing ChatGPT as you would a production team, covering subject, action, place and time, shot size and movement, light and mood. The first result is a draft to check against the brief, including hands, text and logos, and refine in the same chat.
