Portrait teaser
Best when the face is the point. One subject, tight crop, single soft light, minimal motion. Reliable across almost every generator, and the cheapest scene to produce well.
Slow reveal
A turn from back to front, or a step out of shadow. Needs a three-quarter starting pose and consistent rim light. Medium risk, strong payoff.
Wardrobe transition
The signature scene of template-based generators. Highest risk of identity drift, so fix the reference frame tightly and use the shortest render available to test before committing.
Environment scene
Poolside, hotel room, neon street. Works well with camera-motion templates because the subject stays comparatively still while the background carries the movement — but only if the environment is not highly detailed.
Multi-clip sequence
Two to four clips forming a short story. Only attempt after the single-clip workflow is predictable, because sequencing multiplies every inconsistency.
Matching scene to budget
- Low budget — portrait teaser and slow reveal.
- Medium budget — environment scenes with camera motion.
- Higher budget — wardrobe transitions and multi-clip sequences.
