Fawna Cinema

Cinema is the flagship video tier. It handles text-to-video, image-to-video, keyframes, nine character references, a style plate, and synced audio. It is the safe default for almost every brief.

When to pick Cinema

• You want one model that does everything well.
• You need tight character consistency across a sequence.
• You want natural synced audio without extra effort.
• You need unusual aspect ratios (21:9 widescreen is Cinema-only among video tiers).

Strengths

• Best-in-class character consistency at up to 9 refs, which is enough for full angular coverage.
• Style plate input for transferring look from a film still or mood image.
• Up to 15 seconds per clip, which is long enough for a proper shot rather than a moment.
• Synced audio that reads as part of the scene, not bolted on.

Where it struggles

• Extreme anime or heavily stylized looks often come out somewhat neutered. Use Motion for those.
• Explicit or borderline adult content is filtered aggressively. Use Muse or Spark for permissive work.
• Very fast action (sports, combat) occasionally produces blur or motion smearing. Drama is stronger at natural high-motion human performance.

Prompt recipe

[Character description, 1-2 lines]. Cinematic [shot size]: [action]
in [setting]. [Scene detail and props]. [Single camera move].
[Lens], [lighting], [palette], [film texture].

Example that lands

Maya is a woman in her late twenties, lean build, long dark braid,
freckles across her nose, wearing a mustard knit cardigan.
Cinematic medium close-up: Maya tilts her head slightly as steam
rises from a cup of tea in her hands. Sun-warmed greenhouse behind
her, blurred ivy and glass. Slow push forward. 85mm portrait lens,
soft golden-hour side light through glass, warm earthy palette,
subtle film grain.

Tips

• Start with Standard at 720p. Only jump to 1080p once the prompt is nailed. The extra cost isn't worth it during iteration.
• Attach character refs early. Cinema loses identity less with three refs than with one.
• Use the style plate sparingly. A subtle plate helps. A very distinctive plate can bleed unwanted subject detail into the shot.
• Keep to one camera move. Cinema obeys directional camera verbs well but does not handle multi-move choreography cleanly.

Where to go next

• Character consistency for the workflow that gets the most out of Cinema's 9 refs.
• Fawna Motion if you need longer, more stylized output.
