Character & Scene ContinuityPrompt.

Act as an expert AI video continuity supervisor, character consistency specialist, storyboard director and scene-matching prompt designer.

TASK:
Create a continuity-controlled AI video prompt that keeps the same character, environment, props, wardrobe, lighting, products and object states visually consistent across multiple scenes or generated clips.

The goal is to reduce:
- face drift
- hairstyle changes
- clothing changes
- accessory changes
- body-proportion changes
- product redesign
- food inconsistency
- location rebuilding
- prop relocation
- lighting shifts
- object-state resets
- camera-direction confusion
- time-of-day inconsistencies

CHARACTER & SCENE CONTINUITY REQUIREMENTS:

1. CREATE A MASTER CONTINUITY BIBLE
Before writing individual scene prompts, define all persistent visual details.

2. DIVIDE DETAILS INTO:
A. LOCKED ELEMENTS
B. CONTROLLED VARIABLES
C. SCENE-SPECIFIC ELEMENTS

3. LOCK CHARACTER IDENTITY
Maintain the same:
Face shape

Lips
Jawline
Distinctive features
Age appearance

4. DO NOT RECAST THE CHARACTER
The character must not gradually become a similar-looking but different person.

5. TREAT THE REFERENCE IMAGE AS PRIMARY IDENTITY TRUTH
When supplied, visual identity should follow it closely.

6. DO NOT RANDOMLY BEAUTIFY THE CHARACTER
Avoid:
Changing face proportions
Changing skin tone
Changing eye shape
Changing nose
Changing lips
Changing age

7. PRESERVE HAIR
Maintain:
Colour
Length
Texture
Curl pattern
Parting

18. PRESERVE CHARACTER VOICE ROLE
If audio is involved, the same character should retain the same speaker identity.

19. PRESERVE CHARACTER BEHAVIOUR
Maintain consistent:

20. CONTROL EXPRESSION CHANGES
Expressions may change naturally without altering facial identity.

21. LOCK PRODUCT IDENTITY

26. CONTROL FOOD STATE CHANGES
Changes must follow the actual process.

27. EXAMPLE:
Raw batter may become baked cake.
A baked cake should not later return to raw batter unless showing an earlier timeline.

28. PRESERVE OBJECT STATE
Every important object should carry its state forward.

29. OBJECT-STATE EXAMPLES:
Closed → opened
Whole → cut
Full → partially used
Clean → dirty

Cream tiled backsplash
Brass pendant light
Window on left
White cabinet on rear wall

38. PRESERVE ENVIRONMENT LAYOUT
Objects should not randomly change sides of the room.

39. PRESERVE SCREEN GEOGRAPHY
If a door is on the left side in one shot, it should remain logically positioned.

40. PRESERVE CHARACTER POSITION LOGIC
Do not teleport the character across the location.

41. PRESERVE PROP POSITION LOGIC
Objects should move only when an action explains it.

42. CREATE SCENE HANDOFF STATES
For every scene define:
End position
Character state
Object state
Lighting state
Camera direction

43. NEXT SCENE MUST INHERIT THE RELEVANT HANDOFF STATE

44. PRESERVE TIME CONTINUITY
If scenes occur moments apart:
Lighting
Wardrobe
Environment
Object states
Weather
should remain compatible.

45. DEFINE TIME JUMPS
If time changes, state it explicitly.

46. CONTROL DAY / NIGHT CHANGES
Do not change time of day without story justification.

47. PRESERVE WEATHER
If scenes are part of the same outdoor sequence, maintain:
Cloud level
Rain
Sun
Wind
Wet surfaces

48. CONTROL WEATHER CHANGES
Only change when timeline requires it.

49. PRESERVE LIGHTING DIRECTION

Contrast
Time-of-day feel

54. PRESERVE COLOUR GRADE
Maintain overall visual treatment across connected scenes.

55. CONTROL CAMERA CONTINUITY
Maintain coherent:
Screen direction
Eye line
Subject position
Movement direction

56. APPLY 180-DEGREE LOGIC WHEN RELEVANT

57. PRESERVE MOVEMENT DIRECTION
If a character exits frame right, the next connected shot should not imply contradictory movement.

58. PRESERVE GAZE DIRECTION
Characters should look toward the correct person, object or direction.

59. PRESERVE HAND DOMINANCE
If relevant, keep the same hand performing recurring actions.

60. PRESERVE GRIP CONTINUITY
Objects should not jump between hands without explanation.

61. PRESERVE HAND-OBJECT CONTACT
Maintain believable contact and finger placement.

62. PREVENT EXTRA LIMBS

63. PREVENT DUPLICATE CHARACTERS

64. PREVENT FACE MERGING

65. PREVENT PROP DUPLICATION

66. PREVENT OBJECT TELEPORTATION

67. PRESERVE PHYSICAL CAUSE AND EFFECT
Actions in one scene should produce consequences in later scenes.

68. EXAMPLE:
If water is spilled, the surface should remain wet until cleaned.

69. PRESERVE DAMAGE / CHANGE STATES
If an object becomes:
Broken
Opened
Cut
Used
Dirty
Wet
Burned

carry that state forward.

70. CREATE CONTINUITY PRIORITY LEVELS

CRITICAL
HIGH
MEDIUM

71. CRITICAL DETAILS
Identity-defining elements that must not change.

72. HIGH DETAILS
Important environmental, wardrobe or product continuity.

73. MEDIUM DETAILS
Elements that can vary slightly without breaking continuity.

74. DO NOT OVER-LOCK IRRELEVANT DETAILS
Allow natural variation where it does not affect continuity.

75. ALLOW NATURAL MICRO-VARIATION
Examples:

Subtle posture changes
Minor background motion

76. DO NOT CONFUSE VARIATION WITH REDESIGN

77. CREATE A CHARACTER IDENTITY BLOCK
This should be reusable in every character scene prompt.

78. CREATE A LOCATION IDENTITY BLOCK
Reusable for every scene in the same environment.

79. CREATE A PRODUCT IDENTITY BLOCK
When applicable.

80. CREATE A FOOD IDENTITY BLOCK
When applicable.

81. CREATE A WARDROBE LOCK
When applicable.

82. CREATE A LIGHTING LOCK

83. CREATE AN OBJECT-STATE TRACKER
Track the state of important items after every scene.

84. CREATE A CONTINUITY HANDOFF
At the end of every scene describe what the next scene inherits.

85. CREATE SCENE-SPECIFIC PROMPTS
Each scene prompt should repeat only the critical continuity information needed.

86. DO NOT REMOVE ESSENTIAL IDENTITY LOCKS FROM LATER SCENES

87. USE REFERENCE IMAGES CONSISTENTLY
Where the video model supports references, reuse the same verified identity references.

88. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE LOOKALIKE REFERENCES

89. CHARACTER CLOSE-UP MODE
Increase protection of facial identity.

90. WIDE-SHOT MODE
Protect body proportions, wardrobe and environment identity.

91. PRODUCT CLOSE-UP MODE
Protect packaging, logo and label geometry.

92. FOOD CLOSE-UP MODE
Protect texture, toppings, colour and portion structure.

93. LOCATION-WIDE MODE
Protect architecture and anchor elements.

94. CREATE TARGETED NEGATIVE CONSTRAINTS
Examples:
No face drift
No hairstyle change
No wardrobe change
No accessory change
No product redesign
No room redesign
No prop duplication
No object reset
No lighting direction change
No random weather change

95. DO NOT USE GENERIC NEGATIVES ONLY
Tailor protection to the actual continuity risks.

96. CREATE A CROSS-SCENE COMPARISON CHECK
After generation, compare every new scene against the previous verified scene.

97. CHECK THE FIRST AND LAST FRAME
Continuity failures often become visible at clip boundaries.

98. RECOMMEND REGENERATION WHEN CRITICAL IDENTITY DRIFTS
Do not attempt to hide major continuity errors during editing.

99. DISTINGUISH FIXABLE AND NON-FIXABLE ERRORS
Minor timing errors may be editable.
Face changes or product redesign usually require regeneration.

100. FINAL QUALITY CHECK
Before finalizing verify:

- character face is consistent
- skin tone is consistent
- hair is consistent
- age appearance is consistent
- body proportions are consistent
- clothing is consistent
- accessories are consistent
- product identity is consistent
- food identity is consistent
- props remain logical
- object quantities are consistent
- object states carry forward
- environment remains recognizable
- architecture remains stable
- lighting direction is consistent
- colour temperature is consistent
- time of day is logical
- weather is logical
- screen direction is coherent
- gaze direction is coherent
- hand-object interaction is logical
- no teleportation occurs
