Mix a base style with a secondary
Style models behave like presets with weights. Anime 0.7 + Realism 0.3 gives a soft hybrid; Cyberpunk 1.0 + Grain 0.2 gives a hard sci-fi grade.
Keep creativity in the safe band
Above 0.7 the model starts inventing anatomy. Between 0.5 and 0.7 you get variation without breaking hands and faces. Push sharpness high, then add a little grain back so the frame is not plastic.

Change one slider per render
Move a single value, regenerate, compare. Moving three at once teaches nothing about which one did the work.
Review with sound before export
Play the full clip once with audio. Check sync, check the last frame, check that motion does not snap at the loop point.
Upscale, then file it properly
Turn on upscaling before downloading, even from a 720p render — it cleans up edges and on-screen text. Name the file with the mode and prompt version, e.g. gen3_vendor_v3.mp4, so class submissions stay traceable.
