What production route does the car seat talk shot need?

At least trained model. The only route that holds up for video and for anything shot from behind, in profile, or in bad light. It costs a training run and a storage decision, and it locks you to the model family you trained on — a LoRA built for one base model is not portable to another.

Car seat talk

The confessional frame of short-form video. Enormous intimacy for a persona that does not exist, which is exactly why the disclosure has to be on screen here.

The recipe

Four fragments, composed around your locked line

The shot never describes the person. It describes what is happening to them, which is what keeps the face out of the variables.

Opening: Vertical phone video ofRuns straight into the locked line
Framing: Head and shoulders in a driver's seat, phone propped, engine off
Direction: Talking straight to camera, seatbelt visible, occasional glance out of the window
Finish: Daylight through the windscreen, blown-out background, cabin in shadow

Getting it right

Engine off, parked, always — anything else models a dangerous behaviour
The blown-out window is the light; do not fill the cabin

Composed

This shot, composed against the default spec

The locked line comes from the character sheet; everything after it comes from the recipe above. Swap in your own line and nothing else changes.
