About the Steampunk style
Visual characteristics
Steampunk aesthetics in 2011 period-mechanical style. Victorian elegance combined with impossible brass machinery and copper steam technology. Exposed gears and clockwork mechanisms in polished bronze, leather straps in saddle brown, ornate decorative flourishes in antique gold. Airships with canvas envelopes floating above gaslit streets casting warm amber pools. Steam clouds billowing from pipes. Period costumes with goggles, top hats, and mechanical prosthetics. Warm tungsten lighting (3200K) with sepia-toned color grading.

Adapt the preset recipe
Select and copy the recipe below as a starting point. In Storyboard, choose My styles, create a custom style and open Advanced mode.

Plan shots in the Steampunk look
Step 1: Study the visual recipe
Compare the Steampunk 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.
