Expert Usage Tips
1. Maintain character consistency by uploading a high-quality reference image of your subject to the Luma Dream Machine character reference feature.
2. Adjust the pacing by modifying the duration of each scene in the prompt; longer durations work best for establishing shots, while shorter ones increase intensity.
3. Use specific camera lens terminology (e.g., 35mm, 85mm) to guide the AI in achieving the desired depth of field and perspective for your cinematic journey.
4. If the motion is too erratic, add “smooth camera motion” or “stabilized cinematic dolly” to your camera movement instructions.
5. Experiment with different color grading descriptors like “teal and orange” or “desaturated noir” to match the emotional tone of your specific historical or future settings.
