Lackluster-Shot Queue V2

If you're building a shot list for a character or product video, the last thing you want is to type coordinates for every angle. Lackluster-Shot Queue V2 is the preset-driven version of the pack's shot queue: fifteen named cinematography shots you can add to a queue one at a time, then execute all at once. It's the node for people who think in shots, not degrees.

How it works

You pick from the camera_preset dropdown - front close-up, front medium, front wide, low-angle hero, low-angle close-up, high angle, over-shoulder, left/right profile, back view, three-quarter front, dutch angle, aerial, extreme close-up, cowboy shot - and then work the queue with three boolean buttons:

• add_to_queue - flip to True to push the selected preset onto the queue (up to ten shots)
• run_queue - flip to True to execute everything queued, sequentially
• clear_queue - flip to True to wipe the queue

Each preset expands to its stored azimuth/elevation/distance and becomes a prompt with custom_prefix (default <sks>) prepended. The queue itself lives in sequence_json, so you can also hand-edit or inspect it.

Outputs, one set for the whole queue:

• prompts (STRING list) - one prompt per queued shot, triggering sequential execution
• prompt_text (STRING) - all prompts joined
• camera_info (LOAD_3D_CAMERA list) - 3D metadata per shot
• queue_count (INT) - shots currently queued

The workflow rhythm

The buttons being booleans is the fiddly bit. You're not clicking a button and getting instant action - you set add_to_queue to True, run once, and it queues. Set it back to False, pick the next preset, run again. Same for run_queue and clear_queue: they're edges you trigger, not states that persist. It feels clunky for the first three shots, then it clicks - and for a ten-shot turnaround it beats hand-writing JSON every time.

Which one did you grab again?

Remember: this pack has two Shot Queue nodes. This one has the camera_preset dropdown and the three queue buttons. The other, "Lackluster-Shot Queue (v2 3D Widget)" (LacklusterShotQueueNode), is the interactive-3D-scene one with raw angle sliders. Different files, different inputs - if you were expecting a 3D scene and got a preset dropdown, you found the other one.

Notes

• queue_count is your friend - a stale queue silently carries shots over between runs, so glance at it before executing.
• Same light install as the whole pack: ComfyUI Manager → "ComfyUI Lackluster Nodes", deps are just requests + numpy. No models to download.
