How do you keep a location, product or prop the same across shots?
On Higgsfield: Save recurring locations and props as Elements, made once and reused across shots and projects, and reference a recurring prop with @ wherever it appears. For product ads, add the product once in Marketing Studio's Product slot, with more angles, a name and a short description for better consistency, and every later generation pulls the same saved product.
Without Higgsfield: Give each recurring product or prop a reference sheet showing it from several angles so the video model knows it from every side, and generate locations at a three-quarter angle, with a reverse view of the same place for dialogue or action scenes. When text cannot pin a location down, give the video model a map showing where things sit and how big they are.
Axis: reference sheets and plates … frames of a statics video … separate assets per angle
Concept: location reference sheet
