Higgsfield's Cinema Studio prompt guide builds a production step by step, starting with a Cast character sheet of front, side and back views, or Soul ID trained on 20+ photos for a real person. It then makes a keyframe from an empty prompt with character and location selected, shoots multi-shot fight scenes from that keyframe and continues them from the previous clip. Later examples cover three characters placed by Elements alone, Motion Control moving filmed people into new settings, and a 15-second three-act product ad written as time-coded blocks.

  • ★★★ For a multi-shot sequence in Cinema Studio, upload the scene keyframe as the start frame and attach the character sheet and the location as references so nothing breaks across shots. · Cinema Studio, keyframe, character sheet, multi-shot prompt
  • ★★ The guide's multi-shot fight prompt opens by assigning the references ("Use Image 1 as a reference for the character's appearance, and Image 2 as reference for the location"), then lists numbered shots, each starting with its lens or camera move ("Shot 1: Telephoto lens"). · Cinema Studio, multi-shot prompt
