Expert Usage Tips
1. Use a 16:9 aspect ratio for YouTube or cinematic projects, and 9:16 for social media platforms to maximize engagement.
2. If your video model supports “motion brushes,” paint over the lanterns to ensure they maintain a consistent bobbing motion.
3. Add specific color hex codes or lighting descriptions like “Cool blue moonlight” to better balance the “Warm lantern glow.”
4. For better facial consistency, use a static reference image of your characters at the start of the generation sequence.
5. Experiment with “camera movement” keywords like “dolly zoom” or “orbital” to add more dynamic visual interest to the scene.
