Seedream 4.0 vs Nanobanana - Workplace Meeting vs 1970s Retro

We use the same character and submit two prompts: 'workplace meeting' (medium shot) and '1970s retro' (medium/full-body). We observe differences in camera semantics, wardrobe/hair/makeup, and period cues.

Seedream 4.0 adheres to 'medium shot' more consistently with stable chest/torso framing; Nanobanana occasionally drifts (too tight or too wide). For '1970s' cues, Seedream 4.0 more reliably produces era-appropriate hair, makeup, and fabric textures.

In the 'workplace meeting' scene, Seedream 4.0 favors clean conference backdrops and balanced key/fill with clear subject edges; Nanobanana backgrounds can get busy and distract. For '1970s', Seedream 4.0 delivers more coherent filmic grading.

Across retries, Seedream 4.0 more stably preserves fabric weave, buttons/stitches, and hair strands; Nanobanana sometimes warps complex prints or metal accessories. Era details (wide lapels, bell-bottoms, retro palette) are easier to reproduce in Seedream 4.0.

With full-body requests, Seedream 4.0 keeps finger proportions and limb lengths stable; Nanobanana sometimes shows collapsed shoe uppers or knuckle artifacts. In medium shots both pass, but Seedream 4.0 yields more natural catchlights and skin microdetail.

Light prompt tweaks (e.g., changing to 'boardroom', adding 'warm overhead light') lead to focused, low-variance changes in Seedream 4.0; Nanobanana may incidentally alter unrelated regions (clutter, accessories).

Choose Seedream 4.0 for commercial portraits, corporate collateral, and era styling previews. Try Nanobanana when you want stronger stylization/expressiveness and can curate outputs.

Structure prompts for control: camera (medium shot/full-body) + scene (boardroom with projector) + period cues (1970s bell-bottoms, retro palette) + lighting (soft key, warm overhead) + wardrobe (wide-lapel blazer, thin tie).
