Character Consistency

Consistency means preserving the same identity while pose, camera and scene change.

Why this matters

Consistency means preserving the same identity while pose, camera and scene change.

Identity anchors

Stable face, hair, wardrobe and key features.

Reference

Use a strong source image when available.

Change one thing

Vary motion or framing without redesigning the person.

Understand the working model

Every extra style or appearance instruction gives the model another opportunity to redesign the subject. Keep identity descriptions short and stable, then describe only what changes in the current shot.

For a sequence, create a small identity sheet: front view, profile, wardrobe, color palette and one close-up. Reuse it across shots instead of inventing the character again.

Example
Same woman as reference image, same short black hair and red jacket. Medium shot. She turns toward camera. Keep facial features and wardrobe unchanged.
Practice

Apply the pattern above to one real task you already do. Keep the first version small enough that you can inspect every input and output.

Common mistake

Do not rewrite the character with new adjectives in every shot.

Key takeaway

Lock identity first; vary motion, framing and scene one controlled change at a time.
