About the Tatami-Height Stillness style
Visual characteristics
Tatami-height stillness from golden-age Japanese family dramas. Signature tatami-mat camera height (3 feet off ground) with 50mm lens. Pillow shots: empty spaces, household objects, tea kettles in cream. Color palette: tatami tan, shoji paper white, garden green. 1.37:1 Academy with static camera and 180° edit rule. Precise symmetrical framing, generational family meditation. Stillness and silence between dialogue, the "mu" of cinema.

Plan shots in the Tatami-Height Stillness look
Step 1: Study the visual recipe
Compare the Tatami-Height Stillness 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.
