Why Character Drift Happens in Generative Video
Generative models synthesize each scene independently. Without persistent anchor tokens, subtle variations in lighting, angle, and camera focal length alter facial geometry and wardrobe textures.
The Three Pillars of Character Continuity
- Permanent Anchor Specs: Exact age, jawline shape, eye color, and iconic wardrobe pieces (e.g., #CharA_LeatherJacket).
- Fixed Lighting Temperatures: Keep scene key lighting consistent (3200K tungsten or 5600K daylight) to avoid color shifting.
- Camera Angle Ratios: Avoid jumping from extreme macro close-ups to aerial wides without intermediary medium shots.
