🧵A follow-up thread on how to write prompts to get good animated cinematic images.

Taking the structure from before:

"a film still of two people having an argument, 35mm, over-the shoulder shot, duotone color grading, motion blur, adventure --ar 16:9"

Changes:
- put an animation type at the start
- use "animated film"
- remove the type of film (eg 35mm)

Here's an example:
"[type of animation], an animated film still of two people having an argument, over-the-shoulder shot, low-key color grading, sci-fi --ar 16:9 --seed X"

1. Anime
2. 2D animation
3. Hand drawn
4. Cel animation

5. Computer generated
6. Rotoscoping
7. Cutout animation
8. CG animation

I've removed the type of film (35mm) because it can lead to the images becoming live action, and sometimes you might need to add a negative prompt, like "--no photography".

The animation type is at the start to have the strongest effect.

Those examples were all "2 people arguing" with the same shot and color grading. You can change all those things, and reuse the examples from the original thread.

For example, here are some animated fights in a crowd shot.

And, as before, you can add a city, region or country to the end of the prompt to really change the way the image looks.
