Field Notes

Workflow lanes

• Text to imageLead with subject, setting, lens/stock, and one light source. Avoid stacked adjectives.
• Image editingState what must stay the same, then describe the change and matched lighting.
• VideoOne subject action and one camera move per clip; the first frame carries the look.
• Scene & compositionTreat blocking as final — continuity language beats re-describing the whole set.

One constraint at a time

Change a single chip — subject, setting, or stock — then regenerate. Isolated swaps make it obvious which variable is carrying the shot.

Name the camera

Angle + lighting beats adjective piles. Prefer “low-angle hero framing with cyan neon rim light” over “epic cinematic amazing.”
