Plan shots in the Seinen Manga look
Step 1: Study the visual recipe
Compare the Seinen Manga still preview with the visual notes below. Choose which lighting, palette and framing cues belong in your shot list.
Step 2: Build your storyboard
Open a new Storyboard, add your script and character references, then choose its style separately. To adapt this recipe, paste it into a custom style in Advanced mode.
Step 3: Review before video
Review the generated frames for continuity. A still does not specify motion, pacing or audio; plan those as separate decisions for your video.
