Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get authentic 1970s film grain?

The optical_degradation variable includes 'heavy film grain and analog noise' and 'authentic 1970s film stock texture'. Combine with chiaroscuro lighting and Beksiński influence for maximum analog authenticity.

Which AI model works best for retro film stills?

Midjourney v6.1 with --style raw produces the most convincing analog results. For Stable Diffusion, use film-grain LoRAs and set the negative prompt to avoid 'digital', 'clean', 'sharp'.
