01
Create an identity anchor
Start with a clear face, neutral expression, simple light, and visible hairline before attempting complex scenes.
Workflow guide
Keep the same character across every scene
Build a stable identity reference, lock defining traits, and change pose, wardrobe, or environment in controlled steps.
Control change one layer at a time
02
Write a compact identity block
Repeat the same stable facial, hair, age, body, and distinctive-trait description in every prompt.
03
Iterate from the best result
Use the strongest previous frame as the next reference and change only pose, wardrobe, camera, or scene.
Reusable consistency prompt
Use reference image 1 as the identity anchor for the same character. Preserve facial structure, eye shape and color, nose, lips, skin tone, age, hairstyle, hairline, body proportions, and distinctive features. Create [new scene and action] with [wardrobe] in [environment]. Camera: [shot and lens]. Lighting: [setup]. Keep identity, anatomy, and visual style consistent with the reference. Change only the requested pose, expression, outfit, camera, and background. Do not merge identities, alter age, reshape the face, add accessories, or change hair unless requested.
Consistency review
Face shape and feature spacing match
Eye and hair color stay stable
Age and body proportions do not drift
Distinctive marks remain in the same place
Hands and anatomy fit the new pose
Lighting changes without changing identity
Frequently asked questions
How many reference images should I use?
Start with one strong identity anchor. Add a second image only when it supplies a useful angle, outfit, or full-body proportion.
Why does the face drift after several edits?
Each generation can introduce variation. Return to the original identity anchor or the closest approved frame instead of chaining weak outputs.
Can I change clothing without changing the person?
Yes. Explicitly lock identity traits, describe only the new clothing, and state that face, hair, age, and body proportions must remain unchanged.
