A 55-second Short cut from Adil's delivery-app commercial tutorial: Alex landed on the wrong seat because the prompt never assigned one, so Adil made each seat explicit, tied it to a background landmark and added a wide shot of the apartment as the scene's keyframe, later left out of the edit.

What is said
- 00:00:00 — Alex in the wrong seat, and the wide keyframe and background landmarks that fixed it
Threads in this video
- restate · How do you direct a multi-shot sequence? — Adil keeps the action, makes each position explicit and adds a short wide shot of the whole apartment as the scene's main keyframe, which locks where everyone sits and gives the model visual anchors. (00:00:00)
- restate · How do you control where the camera is in a known set? — Adil states each character's seat explicitly and ties it to a landmark in the background: skylights behind Micah, shelves behind Jenny, the red lamp behind Alex. (00:00:29)
- refine · How do you control where the camera is in a known set? — Higgsfield says AI character placement is fixed with a clear wide-shot keyframe and landmarks behind each seat. (video description)
