MidJourney --style raw prevents the cartoon drift that ruins cinematic concept art

Default MidJourney outputs trend toward stylized, saturated, CGI-looking images. For cinematic reference frames, always append --style raw to the prompt. This produces photographic, desaturated results that match the look of actual film production design. Combine with --ar 21:9 for anamorphic framing and --chaos 10-20 for natural variation. The difference between stylized and raw is the difference between a video game cutscene and a film.
