Keep a character recognizable across scenes

Use character and outfit references deliberately, then check continuity in the actual generated takes.

Choose the details that must stay the same

In 13 MISSED CALLS, Claire appears in wide bedroom shots and close-ups during the same phone call. Her face, hair, and clothing need to remain recognizable as the camera moves.

Start from a clear reference and decide which details matter to this story. Keep a distinctive outfit or accessory visible enough to check, rather than burying the requirement in a long list of unrelated prompt details.

Connect the reference to the right element

Keep appearance and outfit references with their character. Use separate location and object references when those details also need to recur. Uploading a file to source materials is not proof that every generation uses it.

Additional views can help when the camera changes position, but they are only useful if they preserve the same identity. Review planned views and generated images before selecting them as references.

Compare continuity, not only image quality

Watch adjacent cuts and ask whether the subject still reads as the same character. Check the face and proportions, the outfit, and how it sits in the location. Camera distance and lighting can vary without requiring the identity to change.

A result that drifts is a reason to inspect that cut's request and references. It is not a reason to discard every successful cut. Keep the useful takes and regenerate the part that needs correction.

Compare the selected take with the character reference and the neighboring cuts.

Treat consistency as something to review

References improve the direction of a request; they do not guarantee identical details in every generated frame. Make continuity part of your review before calling a sequence finished.

When you change an element's reference, check later requests and selected takes separately. A new reference does not alter videos that have already been made.
