One master prompt that turns your reference photos into a premium film-studio character turnaround board — hero face close-up, face rotation grid, T-poses and a full body turnaround on a 16:9 canvas. This sheet is the backbone of character consistency in every video tutorial on this site.
A character sheet is the single highest-leverage asset in AI video. Video models don't remember your character between generations — the sheet does it for them. This master prompt builds a studio-grade turnaround board with a strict hierarchy: a large hero face close-up and rotation grid on top (identity first), then T-poses and a full body turnaround below (proportions and outfit second). Feed the finished sheet into Seedance as a character board reference and your face, outfit and proportions survive every shot, every cut, every regeneration.
The sheet is only as good as what goes in
Collect 2–4 photos of your character: at minimum one sharp front-facing portrait, plus a 3/4 angle and a full-body shot if you have them.
Even, natural lighting and a neutral expression work best — dramatic shadows in the reference become inconsistencies across panels.
If your character already exists as an AI generation (like a saved Higgsfield element), use its cleanest, most canonical renders as the references.
Decide the outfit before generating — a character sheet locks one look. Different outfit = different sheet (that's what the clothing prompts below are for).
Pro tip: Make one sheet per outfit, not one sheet per character. The whole point is that every panel shows identical clothing — a "greatest hits" sheet with mixed outfits teaches the video model to randomise your wardrobe.
Set these before pasting the prompt
| Setting | Value | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Nano Banana 2 / Seedream / GPT Image | You need strong multi-image reference adherence — this is an image generation, not video |
| Reference Images | 2–4 photos | Face front, 3/4 angle, and full body if available |
| Aspect Ratio | 16:9 landscape | The layout is designed for a wide canvas so every panel has room to breathe |
| Resolution | Highest available | The sheet gets re-read by video models later; detail survives compression better |
Copy it exactly — then customise once you've seen a clean run
Upload your reference photos to your image model of choice.
Copy the master prompt below and paste it as-is.
Append one clothing prompt from the gallery further down (or write your own in the same style) to the end of the master prompt.
Generate, then zoom in and audit: same face in every panel, same outfit details panel to panel, clean gutters, no stray text. Regenerate until the sheet passes — a flawed sheet poisons every video made from it.
Character turnaround reference sheet, horizontal 16:9 canvas, studio quality. Left: large hero face close-up plus a small face rotation grid (front, 3/4, side, back). Right: T-pose front, T-pose back, front neutral, side left, side right, 3/4 front, 3/4 back, full back, walking pose arranged in clean evenly spaced rows. Match face, outfit, skin, hair, and proportions exactly from the reference images — no redesign, no stylization, 100% consistent photorealism across every panel. Neutral grey backdrop, flat even three-point studio lighting, no harsh shadows, thin white gutters between panels, no text, no labels, no watermarks.
The line "No redesign, no stylization, no reinterpretation" is the guard rail — image models love to "improve" faces. If panels still drift, add "identical facial features in all panels, same person throughout" at the end.
No editing needed — what you get is the final clip
Once generation completes, preview the clip. Results vary between runs — regenerate rather than settle.

Posting tip: Save the finished sheet into your character library and upload it wherever a tutorial calls for a character board — it's the @Image2 in Tutorial 18's reference lock, and the fastest fix for identity drift in any multi-shot prompt.
Ways to remix this concept
| Swap This | For This | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 16:9 turnaround board | 9:16 portrait board with the face grid on top | For platforms that prefer tall reference images |
| Photorealistic | "stylized 3D animation character sheet" or "2D anime model sheet" | Change one line in the style paragraph to match your project's look |
| Neutral grey backdrop | Chroma green backdrop | Easier automated cutouts if you composite panels manually |
| Single character | Duo sheet — two characters side by side per panel | For locked character pairs like Ash & Lisa; halve the panel count |
Six real sheets, one character — append one clothing prompt per generation
Every sheet below is the same character from the same selfie — only the appended clothing prompt changed. Copy the master prompt, add one clothing prompt to the end, and generate one sheet per look. Note how every clothing prompt ends by pinning details "identical across all panels" — that phrase is what stops outfit drift between panels.
Create a character turnaround sheet showing close up of head, front, back, and side view on a grey background. Outfit: black pullover hoodie with drawstring hood and kangaroo pocket, a large neon-glow Back2Life.ai logo printed across the chest in cyan, blue and magenta, beige multi-pocket cargo shorts ending just below the knee, and black retro running sneakers covered in glowing neon cyan and magenta circuit-line detailing with a pink-lit midsole. Logo placement, cargo pocket layout and sneaker glow pattern remain identical across every panel — no colour drift, no added branding.

He carries a tall ornate dark staff wreathed in purple flame with glowing runes along the shaft, held in the same hand in every standing panel. Coat trim glow, back sigil and staff design identical across all panels.
Create a character turnaround sheet showing close up of head, front, back, and side view on a grey background.

Create a character turnaround sheet showing close up of head, front, back, and side view on a grey background.
