BILLION-DOLLAR Cinema ENGINENETFLIX · SKIMS · STATE-OF-THE-ART · ALL FROM ONE STACK
Higgsfield can already produce Saltburn-tier cinematography, Skims-tier polish, and Alix Earle-tier creator content. The reason most Higgsfield prompts don't get there isn't the model — it's that the prompt reads like three nouns and a hope. Cinematography is structure. A prompt that competes with prestige TV looks like a cinematographer's shot list stapled to a stylist's call sheet — seven layers, a tier lock, and a negative prompt that kicks the AI-slop signature out of the image.
Every cinema-tier Higgsfield prompt is built from seven layers, in this order. Skip a layer and the model fills the gap with its trained-default mediocrity. Stack all seven and the model has no room to be generic.
1
SUBJECT
Who · What · Reference
The Soul reference takes care of the face. You declare the subject in one anchor phrase — name, archetype, age band if needed. Don't over-describe physical features when a Soul is loaded; over-description fights the Soul.
Hellcat Blondie, mid-20s American woman, Soul reference loaded
2
WARDROBE
Designer · Fabric · Fit
Name the designer or era. "Vintage 1996 Tom Ford-era Gucci slip dress in oyster silk satin, bias-cut, low back, narrow straps" beats "white dress" by a full tier. The model knows fashion history — use it.
vintage 1996 Tom Ford-era Gucci slip dress, oyster silk satin, bias-cut, low back, slim straps, Cartier Tank watch, no jewelry except small diamond studs
3
ACTION / POSE
Verb · Body Language · Eye Line
Specific verbs and micro-actions. "Walking" is amateur. "Mid-stride, weight on back foot, head turned over right shoulder catching the photographer's call, lips parted, hand grazing collarbone" is editorial. Eye line direction matters — into-lens vs. away changes the entire mood.
mid-stride moving away from camera, head turned ¾ over right shoulder catching the photographer's call, lips parted, left hand grazing collarbone, gaze meets lens
4
ENVIRONMENT
Location · Sensory Detail · Time
Where AND when AND with what sensory texture. "Vegas penthouse" is mid. "Wynn Tower Suite at 6:42pm Pacific, floor-to-ceiling glass, Strip lights coming on, cream travertine floor, bone-white sheers half-drawn" is cinema. Time-stamp the light.
Wynn Tower Suite penthouse at 6:42pm Pacific, floor-to-ceiling glass facing the Strip, Bellagio fountains visible mid-arc, cream travertine floor, bone-white sheer drapes half-drawn, single low brass floor lamp lit
5
CAMERA
Body · Lens · Aperture · Distance · Angle
Pick the camera body, the lens focal length, the aperture, the framing, the angle. "ARRI Alexa Mini LF, Cooke S4 anamorphic 50mm at T2.0, medium-wide three-quarter shot, low angle just below eye line." Specificity here is the single biggest tier-jump.
ARRI Alexa Mini LF, Cooke S4 anamorphic 50mm at T2.0, medium-wide three-quarter shot, low angle just below eye-line, shallow depth of field, subject sharp, background rendering creamy bokeh ovals from the Strip lights
6
LIGHTING
Direction · Quality · Color Temp · Mood
Motivated lighting always beats decorative lighting. Name the source ("brass floor lamp"), the direction (camera-right, three-quarter back), the quality (soft / hard / specular), the temperature (3200K tungsten warm vs 5600K daylight clean), and the contrast ratio (high-key flat vs low-key dramatic).
key light from camera-right brass floor lamp at 3200K warm tungsten, soft fall-off across face, rim light from blue Strip neon spilling through window camera-back-left, deep low-key contrast ratio 4:1, atmospheric haze for falloff
7
GRADE / FILM
Stock · Cinematographer · Reference Title
Lock the look with a film stock and a named visual reference. "Kodak Vision3 250D film stock emulation" + "in the visual style of Linus Sandgren's lighting on Saltburn" tells the model exactly which color science, contrast curve, and grain structure to apply. This is the layer that prevents "AI-glossy" and forces "shot-on-film cinematic."
color graded in the visual style of Linus Sandgren's cinematography on Saltburn — warm amber highlights, cooled cyan shadows, deep contrast, Kodak Vision3 250D film stock emulation, fine 35mm grain structure preserved, slight halation around highlights

Section 03 — Higgsfield Model Selection
WHICH MODEL FOR WHICH JOB
Higgsfield ships several generation models with different strengths. Wrong model = wrong output even with a perfect prompt. Pick the model FIRST, then write the prompt to its strengths.
Soul-Trained Video
★ HBU CORE
SOUL 2
soul_2 · ~10–15 credits/video
Best for narrative consistency across video. Locks the trained character (Hellcat, BB, Miko, Solana, Mykina) into the video while the prompt drives action, wardrobe, environment, and lighting. The default for any HBU character video that needs to look like the same person across pieces.
PICK WHEN → The piece needs a trained Soul + motion. Tier 2 / Tier 3 brand and creator video.
Top-Quality Stills
★ HERO IMAGES
NANO BANANA 2
nano_banana_2 · ~3–5 credits/still
Best for top-quality stills, including images with text and diagrams. Sharper than older still models. Use this for hero grid posts, magazine-tier covers, billboard-quality stills, and any image that needs to render legible text inside the frame.
PICK WHEN → Hero stills, magazine covers, ad creative, anything that's getting cropped huge.
Reference-Driven Video
STRONG IDENTITY
SEEDANCE 2.0
seedance_2_0 · ~15–25 credits/video
Reference-driven video with strong identity preservation. Use when you need a video that holds onto the look of an input still — a perfect handshake from nano_banana_2 hero still → seedance_2_0 motion piece. Audio added via medias param.
PICK WHEN → You already have a hero still you love and want it animated with high fidelity.
Multi-Shot Video
NARRATIVE
KLING 3.0
kling3_0 · ~15–25 credits/video
Multi-shot narrative video with audio support and motion transfer. Use for longer-form pieces that need scene cuts, or when you want to transfer the motion of a reference video onto a new subject. Best for trailers and narrative ads.
PICK WHEN → 8+ second narrative videos, trailers, multi-cut ad pieces.
Ads / Commerce
APEX LEAD CO
MARKETING STUDIO
marketing_studio_image / video
Built specifically for commercial / product / ad creative. This is the model to point at HVAC ads for Apex Lead Co — homeowner UGC-style ads, product hero shots, before/after, and high-converting Meta ad creative. Marketing-first, not lifestyle-first.
PICK WHEN → Apex Lead Co Meta ads, contractor-facing creative, product/service spots.
Text-Only Avatar
NEW CHARACTERS
SOUL CAST
soul_cast · text-only
Generates a one-off character or avatar from a text prompt without needing trained reference photos. Use for the unfilmed slots in the universe (Sphinx Sunset Glow / Valentina, Dajai Stewart) until you decide if they get formal Soul training, or for testing new character concepts before committing 5–20 reference uploads.
PICK WHEN → Concepting a new character or avatar without trained reference photos yet.
Section 04 — HBU Character House Styles
SEVEN Souls. SEVEN HOUSE STYLES.
Each HBU character has a fixed house aesthetic that locks her instantly recognizable across platforms. Lock the house style and only flex the situation. Consistency is the moat. Below is the canonical house style + a copy-paste base prompt for each character.

Generate the hero image first. Lock the wardrobe, environment, lighting, and grade. Use the seven-layer prompt structure. This becomes the visual seed for everything downstream.
model: nano_banana_2 · aspect: 4:5 or 9:16 · 3–5 credits

Motion Piece — soul_2 (or seedance_2_0)
Pass the hero still as a reference image (medias param) and add motion in the prompt — a single specific action verb. "She turns from window to camera and smiles for one second." Keep the wardrobe and environment language identical to the still prompt.
For Apex Lead Co or any commercial deliverable, cross to marketing_studio_video with the same source still as a reference. Marketing model bias toward conversion-friendly framing, headline space, motion that survives sound-off auto-play.
model: marketing_studio_video · 15 sec · 1:1 or 9:16

Story Cut — kling3_0 or capcut edit
For 30-second narrative stories or trailers, kling3_0 supports multi-shot with audio. Or take the soul_2 video into CapCut Pro and add second-half motion graphics, captions, and music. The Mac Studio M4 Max + DaVinci Resolve pipeline finishes anything kling outputs.
model: kling3_0 · audio · 8–10 sec, then CapCut Pro / DaVinci finishing
Section 08 — The 14-Day Campaign Architecture
FOURTEEN DAYS. FORTY-FOUR Generations.
The HBU vault already has a 14-day campaign queue at 06_automation/generation-queue.json — 44 pieces across 5 cast members. Below is the canonical rhythm. Hero stills anchor the grid. Soul-2 videos hit the algorithm. The Day 14 ensemble shot is the campaign's finale.

Stills = nano_banana_2 (~5 credits each, 18 stills = ~90). Videos = soul_2 / seedance_2_0 (~12 credits avg, 25 videos = ~300). Day 14 ensemble = soul_2 multi-soul (~25 credits). Total queue ≈ 415 credits. Run HIGGSFIELD MCP:balance before firing to confirm headroom.
Section 09 — Operator Vocabulary
WORDS THAT Win. WORDS THAT Kill.
The single fastest tier-jump is replacing the words on the right with the words on the left. The right-column words are the AI-slop signature — they trigger the model's most-trained-most-generic outputs. The left-column words activate the specific look you want.
