Craft

Media-specific technique and decision-making. These pages assume you’ve read the foundations/ — they refine the shared meta-skills for moving images and sound.

Planned topics

  • Prompting for visual generation — positive/negative, weighting, syntax differences. Refines foundations/prompting-principles.md.
  • Seeds and reproducibility as craft — directed versus discovered.
  • Character consistency across shots.
  • Scene and location consistency.
  • Shot-to-shot continuity — lighting, wardrobe, time-of-day.
  • Camera motion control in video models.
  • Temporal coherence — flicker, morphing, and how to fight it.
  • Directing AI: intention vs randomness.
  • Blending generative with traditional — plates, comps, hybrid pipelines.
  • When not to use AI.
