What makes a good Stop-Motion video prompt
Strong Stop-Motion video prompts name the cinematography explicitly: visible frame-by-frame stagger in motion, handmade material texture (clay fingerprints, paper edges, felt fuzz), warm tabletop set lighting, miniature scale. The camera move (push, dolly, orbit, lock-off), lighting condition, and slow-motion frame rate are what separates a generic AI clip from a result that feels like real Stop-Motion cinematography.
