Expert Usage Tips
Use lower motion settings if your model tends to distort the shape of the lanterns during movement.
Adjust the color palette keywords to match the specific time of night, such as ‘golden hour’ for sunset or ‘deep navy’ for midnight.
To add more realism, include ‘atmospheric haze’ or ‘light fog’ in the prompt to enhance the lantern glow.
If using a video-to-video tool, ensure your reference clip has smooth, stable camera movement to maintain the best quality.
Experiment with specific lens types like ‘anamorphic lens’ in the prompt to achieve a true wide-screen Hollywood cinematic look.
