Maintaining Character, Location and Prop Consistency
Use character turnaround sheets, location master plates, and prop sheets to keep your cast, environments, and story objects identical across every shot.
The Problem with AI Image Drift
By default, text-to-image AI models generate a completely different face, hairstyle, wardrobe, and lighting setup every time you click generate—even if you use the exact same character name. In a long-form video, having a character's face change in every scene destroys viewer immersion.
Flow Batch Studio solves this through Creative Bible Entity Reference Sheets.
The Three Essential Reference Sheets
- 1. Character Turnaround Sheets — Contains front, 3/4 angle, side profile, and back views of each character on a neutral 18% grey background, with exact wardrobe, hairstyle, eye color, and facial bone structure callouts.
- 2. Location Master Plates — One definitive establishing photograph/illustration of each key environment. All scenes set in that location send this Master Plate to the image model as a spatial reference, preserving window placement, wall textures, and lighting angles.
- 3. Prop Reference Sheets — Clean reference renders of critical story objects (vehicles, artifacts, weapons, tools) showing their exact geometry, logos, scratches, and wear.
How Different AI Models Consume Sheets
Flow Batch Studio's generation engine adapts automatically to the capabilities of each AI model:
| Model Type | Supported Providers | How Reference Sheets Are Delivered |
|---|---|---|
| Multi-Reference Models | GPT Image, FLUX.2, Google Imagen | Receives the text prompt PLUS the character sheet, location master plate, and prop sheet as reference image attachments. |
| Single-Reference Models | FLUX Kontext | Receives the text prompt PLUS the location master plate to preserve spatial geometry. |
| Text-Only Models | Standard DALL-E, Legacy Midjourney | Receives the compiled textual description of the character sheet, wardrobe locks, and location architecture embedded in the prompt. |
