GPT Image 2 - Character Reference Sheet Prompt You can create a character reference sheet in any style you want for use in your Seedance 2.0 videos. All you need to do is either provide a reference image or describe your character. You can also input random values to... generate completely random characters. This reference sheet provides a clear, structured, and highly readable visual breakdown of the character, helping the model maintain strong identity consistency across different outputs. The layout ensures the model focuses on essential visual information rather than stylistic noise, while the inclusion of expressions, head angles, and performance cues improves the model’s ability to generate believable acting and varied poses without losing character integrity. All clips in the demonstration video were generated using the reference sheet image and the same Seedance 2.0 prompt. You can find the prompts in the replies. 👇 GPT Image 2 and Seedance 2.0 are both available on mitte.aishow more

Change style and description as you need. If you want to use a reference image, write "uploaded reference" to the [SUBJECT_DESCRIPTION]. Gpt Image 2 Prompt: Create a single unified MASTER CHARACTER REFERENCE SHEET from these inputs: [STYLE]: [anime / stylized 3d / realistic 3d / live-action / cinematic realism / noir / stop-motion / any other style] [SUBJECT_DESCRIPTION]: [character or person description] Create the board in a 4:3 horizontal layout. The board layout, background, typography and spacing must be clean, neutral, minimal and technical, on a pure white or clean off-white background. Use clear section titles, readable English labels, balanced spacing, no clutter, no watermark, no logo. Apply [STYLE] only to the character and visual elements, not to the board layout or UI. All text must be clearly readable at normal viewing size. Avoid tiny or dense text. Infer all missing details from the subject description, including name, alias if suitable, role, age, personality, core theme, accent, wardrobe details, accessories, key prop if clearly relevant, visual notes and a fitting color palette. Use this layout: top row = left: title + horizontal info block, right: COLOR PALETTE center = large MAIN IDENTITY + SCALE SHEET as the biggest section right = EXPRESSION PROGRESSION + HEAD DETAIL SHEET + NEUTRAL BASELINE + POSTURE VARIATION + CLOSE-UP POSE bottom = WARDROBE / ACCESSORIES DETAILS + PROP + HAND GESTURES Include: Title: CHARACTER REFERENCE SHEET 1. TOP INFO BLOCK Name, Alias, Role, Age, Personality, Core Theme, Speech Accent 2. COLOR PALETTE Place this in the top-right header area. Show 6 to 8 minimal clean color swatches that match the subject’s style, wardrobe, world and mood. Don't add labels. 3. MAIN IDENTITY + SCALE SHEET This must be the largest and most prominent section. Show the subject only, with no prop, no bag, no handheld object, no extra item interaction. Show: Front, 3/4 View, Side, Back Place the character views over subtle measurement guide lines, like a clean model sheet scale background with height marks. Also include a small SILHOUETTE GUIDE inside this same section: 2 small clean silhouette thumbnails, Neutral Stance and Profile Silhouette. Keep the silhouettes small and secondary, placed in a corner of the MAIN IDENTITY + SCALE SHEET. The subject should appear in a clean neutral presentation focused only on identity, body shape, outfit, silhouette and proportions. Add a few small notes for silhouette, posture, special traits, visual identity. 4. EXPRESSION PROGRESSION Show exactly 8 panels of the same subject: Neutral, Curious, Worried, Surprised, Afraid, Sad, Determined, Relieved MICRO EXPRESSIONS Show exactly 5 panels of the same subject: subtle eye tension, slight smirk, lip tension, micro fear, controlled breath These panels should function as both an expression sheet and a light emotional progression. 5. HEAD DETAIL SHEET Show several close-up head references of the same subject from different angles: 3/4 Headshot, Side Headshot, Top Angle, Low Angle, Diagonal Angle Keep facial structure, hairstyle, eyes, proportions and identity fully consistent. 6. NEUTRAL BASELINE 1 panel: fully relaxed, no emotion 7. POSTURE VARIATION 2–3 panels: relaxed, tense, confident 8. CLOSE-UP POSE Show exactly 1 cinematic close-up pose of the same subject from chest-up or shoulder-up. Use a natural expressive pose that best fits the subject’s personality and story tone. This close-up should clearly show facial identity, hairstyle, expression, upper wardrobe detail and emotional presence. 9. WARDROBE / ACCESSORIES DETAILS Show exactly 4 close-up callouts for important styling details such as hairstyle, outerwear, footwear, accessories, fabric or material detail. 10. PROP Only include this section if a prop is clearly important to the subject. Show exactly 1 single clean isolated image of the prop only. Add a small info block: Object Name, Type, Traits 11. HAND GESTURES relaxed hand, tense fingers, pointing, gripping, subtle gesture near face Keep the subject fully consistent across all panels. The MAIN IDENTITY + SCALE SHEET must visually dominate the board. The final image should look like a premium production visual bible / character continuity sheet matching the selected [STYLE].

Seedance 2.0 Prompt: Use the provided character sheet @[image1] as reference. Create a cinematic character introduction video. Open with the character looking into camera and speaking naturally, introducing herself in her own words. Do not treat the sheet as a single image. Use its elements as separate shots. Structure: detail → identity → presence → full reveal Make the character active: she moves, reacts, interacts with her environment and prop while talking short, natural gestures, small shifts, purposeful motion Show acting range: subtle emotional shifts while speaking (confidence, hesitation, curiosity, intensity) express through micro-expressions, eyes, tone, and body language Include: face close-ups, outfit/material details, prop usage, expressive performance moments Keep everything grounded and realistic. Camera: controlled, minimal movement (soft push-ins, light tracking, subtle handheld) Lighting: cinematic and consistent End on a confident mid or full shot, character fully established.

damn thats pretty cool ❤️

Great result! Thanks for trying out!

Many thanks for sharing this ! 🔥🙏

Glad you liked it! 🙌

So I can just give the model one character sheet like that, and it’ll be enough for this kind of video? That’s amazing! 👏

Yes, pretty much. Unless you give extra instructions, the model tends to follow the sheet quite closely. It also reads the text on it, so even without mentioning the name or character details in the video prompt, you can see it picking them up and using them.

Just mind-blowing!

Bro please can you drop the prompt you used for this animation style? I’ve been trying to get it for some time now, please I’ll be glad @aimikoda

@img2vidz stylized 3d and random character description generated this. btw, you can copy this style using gpt image.

this is so good!!! have you tested it on videos that aren’t character intros? does it work as the only reference, or do you think it’s better to add a really face-focused image too, just to keep consistency? i’ve noticed that sometimes when i use a sheet with lots of info, the model doesn’t really follow the face that closely

Thanks, appreciate it! I’ve tested it with anime and 3D characters in more action-heavy scenes too, didn’t run into any major issues. I’ve seen some character sheets packed with a lot of unnecessary detail, so I tried to keep this one clean on purpose. I think it already has enough face-related information for the model to stay consistent. Curious though, what kind of scenes did you run into issues with? Would love to try those as well.

nice, i’ll test this format then! i had tried a few other sheet formats before, some with just the 4 main poses, others with way more info, and i felt like the results started to drift a bit but yours has a lot more facial expression variation, which the ones i was testing didn’t really have, probably what my tests were missing

Thanks

The evolution of technology is incredible. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you liked, Ibex! 🙌

This is amazing. We are also working on character sheets for our MiniBeanys. Posts like this are very helpful to get where we want to go.

Amazing 👏

Thank you! 🙌

@mitte_ai I love these!🔥

@mitte_ai Glad you liked, Techie! Thanks 🙌

So awesome, Lumen's character design is so crazyyy! 🔥❤️

She is truly unique! Thanks!

You're welcome! 🫶

@mitte_ai Nailed it 🔥

@mitte_ai Thank you, Aleena! 🙌

I'm gonna have to test this out today!

You definitely should, let me know how it goes.

THX U A LOT FOR THE PROMPTS. I use Seedance 2.0 in the CapCut free plan, but the paid version is around 24 USD. Are there any other platforms with more free daily/monthly credits?

Thanks！Really helpful prompt！

Great character! Thanks for trying out!

Between this frame and 21:9, which do you think should be preferable? Noticed not a lot of artist are using 21:9

I’ve used 21:9 quite a bit, to be honest I don’t think there’s a huge difference. What matters more is the resolution, like 2K vs 4K, that tends to have a bigger impact than the ar.

That’s a valid point too. Recently notice when I generate images with 21:9 and feed that to video models, the take them as 2k and try to keep the quality in 16:9 output.

Amazing! this would be a level up from the pain staking one I created TY!🔥🔥🔥

Thank you, Pelaez! Glad you find it useful! 🙌

💯cant wait to try it!

My bro post has gone viral happy for you buddy 😍😍🔥🔥 Stunning

Thank you for your support, mate! 🙌

Kōda, I am truly grateful for this great and informative tutorial 👏👏Thank you for the prompts🙏🙏

This is fantastic, will try with some of our original character designs and see how it turns out!

Many Many Thanks for sharing this

yes i do somthings like this for my remaster of eternal darkness

Seventy cents. That's all you need to generate a fully-fledged 15-second clip in Seedance 2.0.

@mitte_ai Wow ! Amazing creation 👏🏻

@mitte_ai Thanks, Ankit! 🙌

U are a game charger with so much care

Amazing as always

Such a great post! Cheers!

Thank you, Rene!

very clean and lot of info

ref sheets are way more reliable than single-image conditioning for keeping a character consistent across Seedance cuts. single ref drifts the moment you change angle.

Amazing work, thank you for sharing What art style was this?

Using random values for seedance character generation? That's a neat way to ensure variation in the output without over-specifying. Great tip for scaling! 🚀
