This 11-second AI dance shows why character consistency matters more than complicated prompts. You don’t need to describe every movement from scratch. You can use an existing video as your blueprint. Try this: “Replace the person in {video} with my character from {reference sheet}.” The video provides the choreography, camera movement and timing. Your character brings a completely different identity to the scene. But there’s a catch: if the face changes between frames, the whole illusion falls apart. And every failed generation costs you more credits. That’s why I start with the character sheet. Here’s the prompt: “Create a photorealistic character reference sheet using the uploaded photos. Show six views: full-body front, side and back, plus close-up face views from the front, side and back. Preserve the character’s exact facial features, hairstyle, proportions, outfit and distinctive details across every view. Use a clean light-gray background, soft studio lighting and a consistent appearance throughout.” Upload 2–3 reference photos and generate your character sheet before creating videos. Now you have a reusable visual reference instead of starting from zero every time. One recognizable character. Any trending dance. Endless new variations. Here’s what this workflow can produce 👇
