👉 Script the scene like a film shot list.
Left alone, the model guesses at framing.
Calling out “wide establishing shot” or “35 mm close-up” nails composition fast.
Lighting cues (“golden-hour backlight”) lock mood before style tokens fire.
Subjects land exactly where you want them.
Storyboards feel pro—not random.
Prompt example: “Wide establishing shot, 35 mm lens, vibrant street market at dusk, golden-hour backlight, rule-of-thirds framing, ultrarealistic.”
👉 Blend styles with simple math syntax.
A “Ghibli × Art-Nouveau” cue mixes two aesthetics cleanly.
Add ratios—“70 % + 30 %”—to tip the balance.
Beats adjective soup that muddies the signal.
You keep the charm of both styles without clash.
One line, zero headaches.
Prompt example: “Young inventor in a sunflower field, Ghibli 70 % + Art-Nouveau 30 %, pastel palette, soft ink lines.”
👉 Weight critical tokens to control focus.
Parentheses let you shout or whisper elements.
“((neon sign:1.4)) chef cooking (background patrons:0.6)” pulls eyes where they belong.
No extra negative-prompt block needed.
Products stay front and center; clutter fades.
Fewer retries, tighter comps.
Prompt example: “((sleek black smartwatch:1.6)) on marble counter, (busy café:0.4), soft spotlight, shallow depth.”
👉 Run a self-critique-and-repaint loop.
First render? Ask the model to list its own flaws.
Feed that critique right back: it fixes text crops, odd limbs, muddy edges.
Two passes beat ten blind tweaks.
Mirrors pro paint-over workflows.
Tokens saved, quality gained.
Prompt example: “Generate a packaging hero shot for our eco shampoo. Then list any visual errors or off-brand colours; repaint fixing those issues.”
👉 Tag characters for consistency across frames.
Label recurring elements—“[Hero-Alice]” or “[Logo-Mark]”.
Re-use the tag in every prompt; the model reuses the latent identity.
Prevents hair-colour drift, costume swaps, warped logos.
Your multi-image campaign stays on-brand from thumbnail to banner.
Lightweight story bible, no reference uploads.
Prompt example: “Frame 1: [Hero-Alice] browsing an online shop on her phone, flat-vector style. Frame 2: [Hero-Alice] unboxing the product at home, matching palette and outfit.”
