* 2–3 high-impact style and quality tokens.* Specific lighting and motion language.Trim anything that does not change the mental picture.### Mistake 2: Conflicting Style AnchorsStacking dissimilar art movements (e.g., “pixel art, photorealistic, oil painting, comic book style”) forces the model to satisfy incompatible constraints. Results skew noisy and inconsistent.Best practice is to choose one main style anchor per shot:* “Retro-futurist magazine illustration.”* “High-contrast monochrome concept sketch.”You can vary this between shots for variety, but keep each individual prompt stylistically coherent.### Mistake 3: Ignoring Aspect Ratio EarlyIf you design masters at square resolution and then generate videos at 16:9, crucial elements can be cropped or stretched. Decide on aspect ratio at the start, and generate stills in that format.Our internal tests show that re-framing late in the process costs 10–20% more iterations to recover a strong composition.### Mistake 4: Expecting Perfect Text and SignageLegible text in signage remains challenging. When a layout requires specific in-world brands or languages, treat AI output as a layout reference. Later, overlay proper text in your 2D tool of choice using the AI frame as a base.Prompt language such as “abstract, unreadable glyph signage” or “suggestive but illegible neon texts” sets appropriate expectations and reduces the visual distraction of distorted lettering.## 12Shot Logging and Iteration Discipline### Generate 2–3 Variants Per ShotRelying on a single Image-to-Video run is risky. The professional pattern is:* 2–3 variants per reference still.* Quick review pass to evaluate motion, composition, and artifact level.* Selection of one “hero” take for each shot.
