location reference sheet

concept · in 81 sources (2025–2026)

A reference image of a location attached to every shot set there, so the place, its lighting and its style stay the same. Adil generates locations from a three-quarter angle, never head-on, for better depth in Seedance 2.0, and gives each view its own image, named for each cut. To pin objects in place Higgsfield adds a top-down map, while a simple location used only once can be left to Seedance 2.0 in 4K.

• 2026-02-12 · Kling 3.0 on Higgsfield: A Guide to the Next Era of AI Video Generation — recommendation: Higgsfield: To keep a Kling 3.0 element stable, tag the same element in every shot where it appears and describe only its action in the shot prompt, since the element defines its look.
• 2026-04-09 · How To Make an AI Animated Short Film (Full Workflow) — recommendation: Adil says the most important part of the watch prop sheet is its multiple angles: Seedance 2.0 needs to know the watch from every direction to keep it consistent across the eight shots. — 00:02:01 · also in: Make an AI Animated Short: Scene 1 — The Bedroom
• 2026-05-18 · I Created 10+ Beauty Ads in 1 Hour — No Agency Needed — recommendation: Adil's campaign poster prompt: a blonde-haired woman as the campaign hero, the products from the attached image used exactly as shown, their shape, design and proportions preserved, "Do not redesign them." — 00:06:09
• 2026-06-30 · How to Use Gemini Omni Flash for Multi-Shot AI Video Production — recommendation: Higgsfield: For brand-constrained ads, the blog advises stating constraints explicitly in the Gemini Omni Flash prompt ("The label color stays consistent across all cuts. The product shape does not distort."), which the model treats as locks.
• 2026-07-07 · This is How I Made an Ultra Realistic AI Short Film Using Seedance 2.0 in 4K (Full Workflow) — recommendation: Adil advises writing "3 quarters angle" into every location prompt: it adds volume and depth, and the model gets a much better sense of the distance between objects and where everything is. — 00:07:09 · also in: Build an Ultra-Realistic Short Film in 4K: Locations with the 3/4 angle

• 2026-08-23 · How to Make AI Product Photos Without a Studio — recommendation: Higgsfield: In the Marketing Studio generation panel, add the product once in the Product slot; one clean photo is enough to start, but more angles and packaging references, a name and a short description improve consistency, and every later generation pulls the same saved product.
