Technique cases

One problem, one recipe

Each case solves one problem with steps, copyable prompts, and what separates a failed take from a passing one.

Characters, Sets & Props

Keep one character's face stable across 6 shots

A character's face and features change as shots move between wide, close-up and profile.

Storyboard & Keyframes

Shoot two-person dialogue as shot/reverse shot

When two people talk in one frame, identities blur, both mouths move and lip sync fails.

Break a fight into 5 single-action shots

Punching, dodging and falling in one continuous shot makes limbs tangle and warp.

In close-ups the expression either freezes or changes so much the face changes with it.

Editing, Subtitles & Delivery

Phone chat screens: leave them blank, add text in post

Asking the video model to render a chat log gives gibberish or text that changes every frame.

Crowd scenes: a clear lead, a crowd that stays put

In crowd scenes the lead's face drifts, extras move chaotically, and duplicate or extra faces pop up.

Flashbacks the audience recognises instantly

Flashback shots look the same as present-day shots, so viewers lose the timeline.

Characters, Sets & Props

Keep period costume and hairstyles consistent

A period character's topknot, hairpin, collar and embroidery differ from shot to shot.
