Expert Usage Tips
Use [camera_movement] terms like ‘dolly-in’ or ‘pan’ to guide the AI’s focus toward specific cultural details. Keep your duration short (under 10s) for the best consistency, then use video-to-video tools to extend if needed.
Layer the [lighting_mood] with weather effects like ‘mist’ or ‘rain’ to significantly increase the perceived production value. Ensure your [subject] description remains consistent by referencing them as the ‘same individual’ in subsequent prompts.
If the AI struggles with cultural accuracy, explicitly name the specific dynasty or architectural style (e.g., ‘Tang Dynasty’). Use high-quality reference images in image-to-video mode to lock in specific clothing patterns.
Adjust the [color_palette] to match the emotional tone; use warm gold and red for celebration, or cool blue and grey for reflection. Experiment with different lens settings like ’85mm’ for portraits to emphasize facial emotion.
Always check the output for ‘temporal flicker’ and use a post-processing stabilization tool if necessary. Use the negative prompt to strip away any ‘Western-style’ elements that might break the cultural immersion.
