1. Define the details you need to keep
Write a compact character brief with visible features you can actually compare: hair shape and color, face proportions, wardrobe, a distinctive accessory and the broad lighting direction. Keep the wording stable across scenes instead of inventing a new description each time.
Separate identity details from scene details. The jacket belongs to the character brief if it must remain the same; the room and camera angle belong to the shot. Avoid adding a long list of small traits that are difficult to see in your reference.
2. Establish a reference before making the series
Create a clear portrait or character image first and inspect it at a larger size. Choose a reference where the face is readable, the hair is not hidden and the outfit details you care about are visible. Prepare another view when the next scene needs a different angle.
In the AI influencer studio, use the appearance options and supported reference inputs to establish a direction. If you use a photograph of a real person, use your own image or material you have permission to use. Do not present a generated character as evidence of a real endorsement.
3. Vary one part of the scene while keeping the brief stable
For a first scene variation, keep the reference, model and core character description the same. Change the background or framing first. When that works, try a new pose or lighting setup. Changing every condition at once makes a mismatch harder to diagnose.
Reference behavior varies by model. Review the supported controls in the creation interface instead of assuming that a particular identity or strength setting exists. Select the model and output settings intentionally and review the quote before generating another version.
4. Check identity again when adding motion
A still image that looks consistent does not guarantee that a moving result will remain consistent. Start with a restrained action, then inspect the face, hair, hands and clothing throughout the clip. Check the transition into and out of the movement, not just the strongest frame.
For a larger project, keep a small approved reference set and label the versions you intend to reuse. Reject a frame that changes a defining feature even if the overall image is attractive. Your review criteria should come from the project brief rather than from the most recent output.
Prompt examples to adapt
These prompts illustrate a creative brief. They are not claims about a measured generation result; adapt them to your reference and the model controls available in the app.
A reusable character brief
An adult fictional character with a short dark bob, warm brown eyes and a softly angular face. A charcoal work jacket over a cream shirt, no visible logos. Calm expression and relaxed posture. Natural skin texture, soft daylight and a restrained editorial style. Keep these character details consistent with the supplied reference.
Replace the features with a small set of details visible in your own approved reference.
Change the setting
Use the supplied character reference. Keep the hairstyle, face proportions and charcoal jacket consistent with it. The character is seated at a quiet cafe table beside a window, medium shot, eye-level camera, soft afternoon light. A simple background with no other prominent people.
This changes the setting and framing while keeping the core character brief stable.
Prepare a simple video shot
Start from the approved character image. The character looks down at a notebook, then gently raises their gaze. Small, natural movement with a steady camera. Keep the hairstyle, jacket and background consistent with the starting image. One continuous shot.
Use subtle motion first and inspect the entire face movement.
When a result needs another pass
Every scene looks like a different person
Return to one clear reference and a shorter stable brief. Keep the model and key settings consistent while testing one scene change.
The character is recognizable but the clothing changes
Describe the few wardrobe features that matter and make them visible in the reference. Simplify competing styling instructions.
A good still becomes inconsistent in motion
Reduce the movement, review the starting image and check the model’s supported reference workflow. Select a different shot rather than accepting a misleading frame.
Before the next creation step
- An approved reference is available.
- Identity details are separated from scene details.
- The scene variation changes only what is intended.
- Motion has been checked across the whole clip.
