How to Create Consistent Characters Using Reference Sheets

Introduction to Character Consistency

  • The speaker believes that the issue of consistent character representation is now manageable and can be effectively addressed.
  • They express excitement about demonstrating a technique to create a reference sheet from a single photo, which can then be used for generating videos or images with consistent characters.

Technique Overview

  • The speaker mentions that character sheets can also be generated without a reference image, emphasizing the importance of sharing prompts in this process.
  • A key aspect of this method involves using the reference sheet as an ingredient alongside a star image or prompt, rather than just converting images into videos.

Creating Reference Sheets

  • To create reference sheets in Nano Banana, users should select "create image," add their reference image, and choose appropriate output settings (16x9 recommended).
  • The speaker provides guidance on selecting the best close-up shots for effective character representation in wide shots.

Generating Videos with Characters

  • After creating a start image with the character and adding it to the prompt, it's crucial to include the reference sheet for accuracy during video generation.
  • The speaker demonstrates how to set up prompts for animations where characters perform actions like spinning around while maintaining consistency with their reference sheets.

Working with Multiple Characters

  • When incorporating multiple characters in one scene, users need to upload both reference sheets to achieve desired results.
  • The overall process is summarized: use Nano Banana for creating character sheets from images and incorporate them as elements when generating start frames or videos.

Conclusion and Call to Action

  • The speaker expresses enthusiasm about utilizing this technique for future projects and encourages viewers to subscribe for more tutorials related to AI.

Creating characters who REMAIN consistent in AI video has always been one of the hardest parts of AI filmmaking -- until now. In this tutorial, I show how I use Nano Banana to create reusable AI character sheets and reference images that help maintain character consistency across cinematic AI video tools like Veo and Kling. I also walk through how to generate scenes with multiple consistent AI characters without the usual drift or face changes. 🚨Free Character Reference Sheet Prompts to Cut and Paste🚨 1️⃣ Prompt to create a character reference sheet Create a professional character reference sheet based strictly on the uploaded reference image. Use a clean, neutral plain background and present the sheet as a technical model turnaround while matching the exact visual style of the reference (same realism level, rendering approach, texture, color treatment, and overall aesthetic). Arrange the composition into two horizontal rows. Top row: four full-body standing views placed side-by-side in this order: front view, left profile view (facing left), right profile view (facing right), back view. Bottom row: three highly detailed close-up portraits aligned beneath the full-body row in this order: front portrait, left profile portrait (facing left), right profile portrait (facing right). Maintain perfect identity consistency across every panel. Keep the subject in a relaxed A-pose and with consistent scale and alignment between views, accurate anatomy, and clear silhouette; ensure even spacing and clean panel separation, with uniform framing and consistent head height across the full-body lineup and consistent facial scale across the portraits. Lighting should be consistent across all panels (same direction, intensity, and softness), with natural, controlled shadows that preserve detail without dramatic mood shifts. Output a crisp, print-ready reference sheet look, sharp details. 2️⃣ No reference image? No problem! Create a professional character reference sheet of [PUT YOUR CHARACTER DESCRIPTION HERE].
