> **`Style: Anamorphic` in these recipes is a single-shot Look-line choice** — > a standalone generation with no location plate, where the words are the only > route to the look (root `SKILL.md` HARD RULE 7: a style register, never an > output ratio). For a multi-shot **Seedance** sequence that must hold the lens > across shots, the lens goes into the location plates instead and the optics > words leave the video prompt (`../higgsfield-seedance/SKILL.md` § Bake it into > the asset) — one studio's practice; Hell Grind keeps the look in the prompt > too, and which holds better is OPEN (`../shared/house-rulings.md` P2-6).
