Your next original AI blockbuster, co-produced by Freepik Originals A month ago, we launched Freepik Originals — a program where Freepik partners with world-class creators to co-produce full audiovisual projects, powered entirely by the Freepik AI Suite. Not a sponsorship. Not a logo placement. Full creative production. The first project? The Chronicles of Bone. Filmmaker Kavan Cardoza built an entire interconnected dark fantasy universe — solo. One episode per month. Every frame created using Freepik's AI tools, from Nano Banana for character design to Kling for video generation. Robin Hood. Captain Hook. King Arthur. Frankenstein's monster. Peter Pan's Lost Boys — but not the versions you grew up with. Kavan writes, animates, edits, designs the sound, and handles post-production. One creator. One platform. A five-season dark fantasy universe. And this isn't a pitch deck. It's already live on YouTube. Freepik Originals isn't about proving AI can generate pretty images. It's about proving what a single creator with vision and the right tools can actually ship. Kavan comes from traditional film — directing music videos in LA, building physical sets in South Central, and making $20K budgets look four times bigger. He was also the first filmmaker to complete a SAG-approved AI film with Echo Hunter. Chronicles of Bone is the next step: episodic, serialized, universe-scale storytelling — created by one person with a platform. For creators: the door is open. Freepik Originals is open to filmmakers, animators, directors, and motion designers who want to build real projects using Freepik's tools. Creators retain 100% of their IP. Freepik provides full premium tool access, distribution across global channels, and brand backing. More Originals are already in the works. Take a look into what's already out 👇

For the first time, we brought our AI community together in London. It felt like something worth building on Across AI Creative Minds, our London meetup with BytePlus, and Upscale Day London (Upscale Conf), what stood out wasn’t just the content. It was the connections being built Rooms that felt open, engaged, and intentional. Spaces where creatives, technologists, and builders could share what they’re actually working on, what’s evolving, and what still feels unresolved At AI Creative Minds, we spent time with our AI partners, got a closer look at what BytePlus is building, and screened the 1st Freepik Originals, "The Chronicles of Bone" by Kavan Cardoza It also brought in many new faces. People sharing their own perspectives, energy, and ways of applying AI in their day-to-day work Creatives, strategists and builders working with AI came together at Upscale Day London for a real conversation about how advertising is changing. Martin LeBlanc and Joaquin Cuenca Abela shared their insights on stage, but the conversations kept going far beyond it Different formats, same energy. A community showing up with curiosity, openness, and a real willingness to engage. See you next time!

[TUTORIAL] The exact prompts to create your cartoon twin (step by step) 👇 You've seen those videos where someone dances next to a cartoon version of themselves. Now you can make your own. No animation skills needed. This Spaces template by glamseasons turns a single photo and a dance clip into a fully animated 3D cartoon twin that mirrors your every move, frame by frame. Here's how it works: → Drop in a photo of yourself and a clip of your dance moves into the media nodes. → Open the text node and add this prompt: "A 3D cartoon animated movie style of the person in the image. Doll-like aesthetic, plastic texture, smiling, cute big smile. Human like proportions, not realistic. Cartoon has the same skin color, facial characteristics, clothing, accessories and hair as the person in input image. Diffused lighting. Background is a green screen. Cartoon is standing with its arms wide open to the sides. Cartoon's full body and arms are visible." → With your new cartoon twin, add a new 'AI Video' node, select 'Kling 3.0 Motion Control' and hit 'Generate'. You can use this prompt: "Recreate the video. Cartoon is very playful and has happy expressions. Hands are visible the entire video." The visual consistency stays locked across every creation, so your twin always looks like your twin no matter how many times you remix it. Now, enter the Space, and replace the video and image at the beginning to create your own dancing twin. Share your final result with us 🥳

Authenticity wins That was one of the central themes of The New Creative Standard, the panel we hosted last week in San Francisco together with TikTok Symphony Creators, marketers, and innovators came together to discuss a question that feels increasingly relevant: how do we balance quality and authenticity in an age of AI-generated content? Throughout the panel, Cole Lee (Covacut), Mandy Mao (TikTok), Paula Vivas (Freepik) and Enrique Lopez Lopez (Freepik) explored a recurring idea: AI tools should help creators and brands tell their own stories, not replace the human voice with generic outputs Another point that resonated strongly was that authenticity can scale, from individual creators developing their voice to brands maintaining a consistent identity across campaigns Thanks to everyone who joined the conversation. More to come!
