Choosing Japanese Ukiyo-e

What it buys you, and what it costs you. Both matter — you are locking every scene in the video to this.

Advantages

Flat shapes and muted palette are unusually easy on the eye
Reads as considered and artful rather than generated
Print texture stays consistent across every scene

Trade-offs

Flat and static, so it needs your edit to bring the motion
Tied to one culture and era — it does not travel to other topics

What every scene is told to look like

This line goes into the prompt for every single image in your video. It is why scene 3 and scene 27 look like the same production, and it is the whole job of a theme.
