Step-by-step production

STEP 1

Create a character reference

Define face, clothing and color rules in Ideogram. Keep front and key-angle references.

STEP 2

Apply the reference per shot

Use Kling element references to connect the character across shots. Start with one action and modest background changes.

STEP 3

Check continuity between cuts

Compare hair, eyes and clothing side by side. Regenerate inconsistent shots rather than hiding them in the edit.

Consistency tools do not guarantee identical appearance; review every shot.
