INPUTApproved script and visual references
DELIVERABLECharacter cards, set masters, prop-state table
Tools: Jimeng, Kling, Midjourney, FLUX, or Gemini Image
Follow the workflow
Record age, face, hair, costume, accessories, body type, and temperament for every lead.
Generate front portrait, full body, profiles, and core expressions; approve one master.
Record three to five invariant anchors for each main set and generate an empty plate.
Track prop scale, color, initial state, and changes after each scene.
Use stable asset names and version numbers in every downstream prompt.
Reusable template
[Age and gender], [face and features], [hair], [fixed costume and accessories], [build and temperament], front portrait and full-body turnaround, realistic cinematic style, neutral background, soft studio light, no text, no handheld objects, no extra people.
Keep invariant fields fixed and replace only project variables. Change one variable per test.
Quality gates
- Each character has two or three recognizable anchors
- Shots reuse one approved master, model, and style
- Set geometry and key-light direction remain stable
- Prop states match the script timeline
Troubleshooting:
For face drift, reduce changing adjectives and strengthen the master reference. For set drift, approve an empty plate before adding characters.
For face drift, reduce changing adjectives and strengthen the master reference. For set drift, approve an empty plate before adding characters.
SPECIALIST GUIDES
Additional practical guidance
Extract characters, aliases, locations, and props scene by scene before generating images; merge duplicate names for the same person.
Give every recurring set three to five spatial anchors, fixed object positions, time/weather state, key-light direction, and palette.
Choose art style by genre and audience, then keep one model and style for each approved character.
Use single-variable image edits: change hair, costume, expression, or background one at a time.
