Character consistency in AI short drama: identity, costume and shot continuity

AI 短剧怎样保持角色跨镜一致：人物、造型与镜头状态

Source checked 2026-09-12 · 源码核对日期

Separate the person’s persistent identity from the current costume and each shot’s action. Keep only genuinely unchanged visual facts in a continuity lock; track hands, props and gaze as shot state. An original three-shot archive scene below shows how to connect these decisions. A character sheet or an image-prompt ID is not a generated reference image, and written constraints do not guarantee a model’s results. For the wider adaptation workflow, start with the novel-to-short-drama guide.

先把不随换装改变的人物身份、当前造型与每镜动作分开。只把真正跨镜不变的外观写入连续性锁，手持物、视线和姿势则按镜头记录。下面用原创的档案馆三镜示例，说明怎样把这些决定连起来。有角色设定或图片提示词编号，不等于已有真实参考图；文字约束也不保证模型最终效果。完整改编流程可从小说改短剧指南开始。

Steps · 操作步骤

  1. Write Character as the persistent identity Use observable, comparable anchors that survive a costume change and work beyond a front-facing close-up. In the example, Lin Lan has a V-shaped nape hairline and a right shoulder that sits slightly lower than the left. These belong to Character; the rain jacket, hand-held key, gaze and pose do not. Ask short-drama-assets to record the accepted facts in 剧集/<EP>/视觉设定.md.
  2. Add one compatible Look for this scene Reference the Character, then record only clothing, hair arrangement, makeup, injury or weathering that can coexist now. Lin Lan’s scene Look is a low-tied hairstyle and a dark-teal matte hooded work jacket with two rows of silver snaps on the left cuff. Keep the brass key as a Prop and its current holder as shot state; neither is part of the Look.
  3. Lock only the invariant visible surface A LOCK is justified when the fact appears across at least two shots, viewers could notice a mismatch and the story does not change it. Use the minimal phrase “dark-teal matte hooded work jacket, hood down, two rows of silver snaps on the left cuff” across the affected IMG-* body, frozen keyframe and MOTION-* body. Do not lock the key’s position, hand pose or gaze because those change.
  4. Chain three shots with explicit states For every shot write start → one primary action → end, including each hand, held prop and gaze. The next shot must start from the previous shot’s actual end unless the screenplay establishes a cut or state change. A frozen keyframe normally describes the start only; it must not show an action or prop state that first appears at the end.
  5. Keep prompt IDs separate from media evidence Use short-drama-image-prompts only to author entries such as IMG-CHAR-LINLAN and IMG-LOOK-LINLAN-RAIN; those IDs do not prove files exist. In short-drama-storyboard, bind an inspected project image as REF-*. If the creator will supply it later, keep a PLAN-* slot with order, intended file, purpose, control scope and exclusions. Missing files must not be silently downgraded to text-to-video.
  6. Stop at a production-honest handoff A PLAN-* shot may describe the intended image-to-video path, but it cannot enter short-drama-produce until the real file is present and the slot becomes REF-*. For a continuing shot chain, later segments also need the preceding actual video and actual tail frame; planned frames or prose cannot substitute. Text constraints improve the handoff, but do not guarantee a model will preserve face, clothing, space, props or motion.
  1. 先写长期不变的 Character 身份 选换装后仍成立、可观察、可比较，并能在侧面或背面识别的锚点。示例中的林岚有 V 形后颈发际，右肩略低于左肩；这些属于 Character。雨衣、手里的钥匙、视线和姿势都不属于身份。可用 short-drama-assets 把已确认事实写入 剧集/<EP>/视觉设定.md。
  2. 再写本场相容的 Look 先引用 Character，只补本场能同时存在的服装、发型、妆伤与天气化。林岚本场是低束发，穿墨绿色哑光连帽工作夹克，左袖有双排银色按扣。黄铜钥匙仍是 Prop，由谁拿着属于镜头状态，不能吞进 Look。
  3. 只锁真正不变的可见表面 同一事实跨至少两镜可见、观众能发现不一致、剧情又不会改变它，才写 LOCK。示例锁面是“墨绿色哑光连帽工作夹克，帽子放下，左袖双排银色按扣”，在受影响的 IMG-* 正文、冻结关键帧和 MOTION-* 正文中原样携带。钥匙位置、手势和视线会变化，不上锁。
  4. 用状态链写三镜 每镜都按“起点 → 唯一主要动作 → 终点”记录双手、持物与视线；除非剧本明确跳时空，下一镜起点应继承上一镜真实终点。冻结关键帧默认只写起点，不能提前出现终点才成立的动作或道具状态。
  5. 把提示词编号与真实素材分开 short-drama-image-prompts 可写 IMG-CHAR-LINLAN、IMG-LOOK-LINLAN-RAIN，但编号不证明图片存在。到 short-drama-storyboard，检查过且项目内可读的图片才写 REF-*；创作者计划稍后提供时保留 PLAN-*，注明顺序、拟用文件、用途、控制范围与不得控制范围。缺图不能静默降级为文生视频。
  6. 以诚实的投产边界收尾 PLAN-* 可以记录预期的图生视频路径，但真实文件入项并改为 REF-* 前，不能交给 short-drama-produce。连续时空的后续段还需要上一段实际视频和实际尾帧；文字或计划帧不能冒充。文本约束能改善交接，却不保证模型最终稳定人脸、服装、空间、道具或动作。

Example · 示例

ORIGINAL EDITORIAL EXAMPLE — written for this guide, not skill output, generated media or a production test.
Scene: At a rain-soaked archive loading bay, Lin Lan must open locker 17 while keeping a red evidence folder dry. The steel bench stands directly beside locker 17, so the three shots require no off-shot repositioning. Her jacket hood stays down, leaving the nape anchor visible.

Character — Lin Lan: V-shaped nape hairline; right shoulder slightly lower than left.
Look — LOOK-LINLAN-RAIN: references Lin Lan; low-tied hair; dark-teal matte hooded work jacket; hood down; two rows of silver snaps on the left cuff.
LOCK — LOCK-LINLAN-JACKET: “dark-teal matte hooded work jacket, hood down, two rows of silver snaps on the left cuff”; active in SHOT-01 through SHOT-03.
Prop — brass locker key and red evidence folder remain separate assets. Throughout these three shots, the left arm pins the folder and the left hand supports its lower edge; only the right hand handles the key.

SHOT-01 — Start: folder tucked under left arm, key on the steel bench, right hand empty, gaze on the key. Action: Lin Lan picks up the key with her right hand. End: folder under left arm, key in right hand, gaze shifts to locker 17.
SHOT-02 — Start: inherit the preceding end. Action: she inserts the key into locker 17. End: folder under left arm, key remains in the lock, right hand stays on it, gaze on the keyhole.
SHOT-03 — Start: inherit the preceding end. Action: she turns the key once. End: folder still under left arm, key turned in the lock, right hand on the key, gaze moves to the door seam.

Prompt/reference record: `IMG-CHAR-LINLAN` and `IMG-LOOK-LINLAN-RAIN` name prompt entries only. `PLAN-LINLAN-RAIN-01` points to the explicitly non-existent placeholder `剧集/EP001/待提供/林岚雨夜造型.png` below, first in reference order, for identity and compatible Look only; it must not control hand pose, key position, gaze or camera. No real file has been provided, inspected or bound, so all three shots remain PLAN and are not production-ready. No image, video, face-consistency or motion result is claimed.

Copyable text-only handoff request:
For EP001, use `short-drama-assets`, `short-drama-image-prompts` and `short-drama-storyboard` to organize Lin Lan and these three shots. Keep Character, Look, LOCK and shot state separate. Stop at text files; do not generate images, video, voices or music. `剧集/EP001/待提供/林岚雨夜造型.png` is a placeholder path, not an existing file. Keep it as PLAN and do not prepare a production submission.
原创编辑示例——为本指南编写，不是技能执行输出、生成媒体或投产测试。
场景：雨夜的档案馆装卸区，林岚要打开 17 号柜，同时护住一份红色证物夹。钢台紧挨 17 号柜，三镜之间无需补走位；夹克帽子保持放下，让后颈锚点可见。

Character｜林岚：V 形后颈发际；右肩略低于左肩。
Look｜LOOK-LINLAN-RAIN：引用林岚；低束发；墨绿色哑光连帽工作夹克；帽子放下；左袖双排银色按扣。
LOCK｜LOCK-LINLAN-JACKET：“墨绿色哑光连帽工作夹克，帽子放下，左袖双排银色按扣”；SHOT-01 至 SHOT-03 生效。
Prop｜黄铜柜钥匙与红色证物夹分别建资产。三镜中，左臂始终夹住文件夹，左手压住其下缘；只有右手操作钥匙。

SHOT-01｜起点：证物夹在左腋下，钥匙在钢台上，右手空，视线看钥匙。动作：林岚用右手拿起钥匙。终点：证物夹仍在左腋下，钥匙在右手，视线转向 17 号柜。
SHOT-02｜起点：继承上镜终点。动作：她把钥匙插入 17 号柜。终点：证物夹仍在左腋下，钥匙留在锁孔，右手扶住钥匙，视线看锁孔。
SHOT-03｜起点：继承上镜终点。动作：她把钥匙转动一次。终点：证物夹仍在左腋下，钥匙已在锁孔内转过，右手仍扶钥匙，视线移到柜门缝。

提示词与参考记录：`IMG-CHAR-LINLAN`、`IMG-LOOK-LINLAN-RAIN` 只命名提示词条目。`PLAN-LINLAN-RAIN-01` 指向下方明确标为非现存文件的占位路径 `剧集/EP001/待提供/林岚雨夜造型.png`，在参考顺序中排第一，只控制身份与相容 Look，不控制手势、钥匙位置、视线或机位。现在没有真实文件被提供、检查或绑定，所以三镜都保持 PLAN，不可投产；本例不声称已获得图片、视频、人脸一致或动作效果。

可复制的纯文本交接请求：
请为 EP001 使用 `short-drama-assets`、`short-drama-image-prompts` 和 `short-drama-storyboard` 整理林岚与以上三镜；分开 Character、Look、LOCK 和镜头状态。只交文字，不生成图片、视频、配音或音乐。`剧集/EP001/待提供/林岚雨夜造型.png` 是占位路径，不是现存文件；保持 PLAN，不准备投产提交。
