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 TypeSupported ProvidersHow Reference Sheets Are Delivered
Multi-Reference ModelsGPT Image, FLUX.2, Google ImagenReceives the text prompt PLUS the character sheet, location master plate, and prop sheet as reference image attachments.
Single-Reference ModelsFLUX KontextReceives the text prompt PLUS the location master plate to preserve spatial geometry.
Text-Only ModelsStandard DALL-E, Legacy MidjourneyReceives the compiled textual description of the character sheet, wardrobe locks, and location architecture embedded in the prompt.
