Camera / Film Stock
Pick a camera or film format from a 31-entry catalog (35mm-film, IMAX, super-8, polaroid, VHS, …). Emits a camera-medium prompt fragment.
Overview
The Camera / Film Stock parameter node names the recording medium — film stock, digital sensor, or specialty format. Each entry carries a distinct visual signature (grain, latitude, color, gate, scan-line behavior). Injected into the consumer’s prompt via the cinematography handle. Pairs with Color / Look for full medium-emulation grading.

Common Use Cases
- Film-stock emulation (Portra 400 for warmth, Vision3 for cinema look).
- Period authenticity (polaroid, super-8 for 1970s home-video feel; VHS for 1990s).
- Documentary or POV looks (dashcam, gopro, drone).
- Cinema-camera signatures (Alexa for soft latitude, Red for sharpness).
