lighting-continuity-design

What problem does it solve?

It prevents visual continuity errors by ensuring lighting mood, contrast ratio, and key/fill/rim behavior remain stable across adjacent shots unless the story intentionally changes tone.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Ratio-based mood control: Uses lighting contrast ratio heuristics (e.g., soft 1:1–2:1, dramatic ~4:1, severe 8:1+) to guide the intended visual tone.
• Shot-to-shot continuity rules: Maintains consistent key direction, shadow density, practical light motivation, and atmospheric medium to avoid jarring transitions.
• Continuity-failure blocking: Detects and blocks common issues like unexplained hard backlight switching to flat frontal lighting or palette shifts without narrative cause.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to design lighting for a scene sequence and enforce stable contrast ratio, matching key/fill/rim logic and atmospheric medium across adjacent shots.
