The anti-plastic block for video: forces real-camera depth instead of the AI look — atmosphere suspended between planes, matte skin rendering, contrast curve stated three ways.
Capture Realism is the video equivalent of the Cinema Stack: a block that sits directly before the camera specification and describes the physics (not the hardware). It combats the three most common AI video errors at their root: flat single-plane staging, shiny/specular surfaces, and exaggerated contrast.
Four Mechanics
(1) Depth through atmosphere suspended in the air between planes, (2) moisture without shine (only in wet scenes), (3) zonal specular killing on skin, (4) contrast curve formulated threefold. Mechanic 1 is the strongest lever against the flat, plastic-like look.
