The Consistency Strategy Prompt

I need this character to look the same across [NUMBER] shots. What
is my best strategy?

Platform: [NAME]
Character: [DESCRIBE]
Shots: [DESCRIBE THE RANGE — sizes, angles, environments]

Assess my options honestly:
1. Text description alone — how far does it get me?
2. Reference image, if my platform supports it
3. Image-to-video from a controlled still for each shot
4. Character reference or consistency features, if available
5. Generating all shots in one session with a fixed seed
6. Accepting drift and designing the edit around it

For each: what it costs, how well it works, and what it requires.

Then recommend a strategy and produce:
7. The workflow, step by step
8. Which shots to generate first and why
9. How to design the edit so remaining drift is invisible —
   different angles, cutting on movement, avoiding A-B-A cuts on
   the same face

Be realistic. Perfect character consistency across independent
generations is not currently reliable on most platforms. The best
work is edited to accommodate that rather than fighting it.
