How to keep a character consistent across an AI music video

A consistent character begins with a useful reference, not a perfect portrait. Choose an image with a clear face, readable hair silhouette, natural skin texture, and lighting that does not hide the features you need to preserve.

Lock identity before directing performance

Keep identity notes separate from scene direction. Name the stable traits once—face, hair, age range, signature wardrobe—then change pose, lens, blocking, and emotion per scene. This makes revisions smaller and easier to diagnose.

Review transitions, not only still frames

Two strong frames can still cut badly together. Compare eye line, screen direction, wardrobe continuity, and the amount of motion at every edit before spending credits on a final render.
