Character and Location Reference Sheets for AI Video
Locks faces, wardrobe and sets before AI video: identity blocks, 3-view turnarounds, empty location plates, and reference role lines.
About this skill
Video models are only as consistent as the references they get. Build the identity blocks and reference sheets once, then attach them to every shot.
What it does
- Writes 50-80 word identity blocks with a signature feature and specific wardrobe
- Writes prompts for 3-view turnarounds, 6-panel sheets, empty 2x2 location plates and 3x3 coverage sheets
- Keeps one light state per plate and builds night versions from the day plate
- Writes role lines that say what each reference governs and what it does not
- Flags likeness, consent and crowd-size risks before you generate
What you get
Identity blocks, reference-sheet prompts, role lines for later shots, and a pre-flight list.
Best for
AI filmmakers and creators running recurring characters or sets across many clips.

description: Lock a character's identity and a location's architecture before any AI video is made - identity blocks, 3-view character turnaround prompts, empty 2x2 location plates with one light state, contact-sheet coverage prompts, and the reference role lines that stop face, wardrobe and set from drifting between shots. Use when the user says "make a character sheet", "turnaround for my character", "my character's face keeps changing", "lock this location", "reference images for Seedance or Kling", "the outfit changes every shot", "day and night version of the same set", or "consistent character across AI videos".
