Character and setting consistency across shots, realistic motion, minimal glitches, smart camera use.
Cinematography, framing, lighting, and color grading feel intentional, not default AI output.
Dialogue or narration is natural and purposeful. For wordless films, judged on visual storytelling clarity instead.

The idea feels fresh rather than a repeat of common AI-film tropes.
Editing rhythm, transitions, render quality, and overall production value.
