Writing prompts that stay on character

Consistency is the hardest part of generated film, and it lives almost entirely in your prompts. Three tools do most of the work.

Positive, negative, reference

The positive prompt describes what the shot should contain. The negative prompt names what it must avoid, the quiet hero of consistency. And @references link a shot directly to a character or scene you've already defined, so the model isn't guessing.

• Anchor identity with an @reference, not a re-description.
• Use the negative prompt to lock out drift: wrong age, wrong wardrobe, extra fingers.
• Keep wording stable across a sequence; change the scene, not the character.

Describe the character once, reference them forever. Re-describing is where faces wander.

Get these three working together and a single cast can survive an entire episode without a wardrobe department.
