MiniMax H3 examples made on Cicadas
A coast road at golden hour.
MiniMax H3 Max at 768P. Smooth drone-style follow; the model added soft piano-like music on its own.
Use this recipe ↗A hummingbird, up close.
MiniMax H3 Max (Hailuo family) at 768P. Macro detail and soft bokeh; the audio is ambient electronic music.
Use this recipe ↗A red train above the clouds.
MiniMax H3 Max at 768P. A red train follows a mountain track above a sea of clouds at sunrise, with a steady follow shot. The audio is a loud roar, not train sounds.

MiniMax H3 Max at 480P, vertical. A high view of a wet city crossing at night: colorful umbrellas cross as cars pass. Small shop signs appear with unreadable lettering.
Use this recipe ↗A dragonfly by the lotus.
MiniMax H3 Max (Hailuo family) at 480P. A dragonfly settles on a lily pad beside a pink lotus covered in dew; it lands on the leaf, not the flower the prompt named.

“A fictional adult beekeeper in a mesh veil checks a wooden hive at golden hour while bees drift past the lens. Slow handheld drift, natural motion, one continuous shot.”
“A paper kite shaped like a carp climbs over a grassy hillside under a windy autumn sky, its tail rippling. Steady wide shot, realistic cloth physics, one continuous take.”
