This is how I created this video. Prompts + bloopers below ♥ I used a previs storyboard style this time just to test it, it worked well except when it would keep the directional arrows. I need to adjust the prompt so that does not happen. The little videos... and buttons at the end is pure capcut masking.show more

Character sheet format: Use a 16:9 production character sheet with extra space dedicated to hands and kawaii nails, because the character is intended for ASMR videos where hand visibility is essential. Ready-to-use prompt: Create a clean 16:9 horizontal character reference sheet for AI image generation. Layout: large full-body front view on the left in a neutral standing pose face close-up at the top right with neutral expression left-side profile view showing the character from the left side 3/4 body view right-side profile view showing the character from the right side back view showing hairstyle length and outfit from behind large dedicated hand and nail detail callout showing both hands clearly ASMR hand-pose callout showing elegant fingers close to the viewer, nails fully visible small facial expression strip with neutral, happy, focused, surprised, and soft sad expressions bottom color palette strip short consistency notes Character: A cute feminine pastel ASMR streamer character with a soft kawaii aesthetic. She has fair skin, a delicate youthful face, soft blush, glossy natural pink lips, a small nose, long lashes, and large light gray-blue eyes. Her expression should feel calm, gentle, sweet, and slightly doll-like. She has long black hair, smooth and straight with a soft natural wave toward the ends, a clean center part, glossy texture, and hair falling past the chest. Keep the same hairstyle in every view. Change her outfit to a new kawaii ASMR streamer outfit: a pastel pink and white sailor-inspired blouse with soft rounded trim, a small satin bow at the collar, short puff sleeves, delicate lace edging, and a fitted but modest silhouette. Pair it with a high-waisted white pleated skirt with pastel pink accents, cute knee-high socks, and simple soft pink shoes. The outfit should look cozy, polished, feminine, and streamer-friendly. No headphones. Important hand and nail design: Her hands must be shown clearly and attractively because this character is for ASMR videos. Include a large hand detail section with both hands visible from the front and slightly angled views. Her nails are long almond-shaped kawaii nails, glossy and carefully manicured. Nail design should include: soft pastel pink base, tiny white hearts, miniature bows, pearl accents, subtle lavender sparkles, small star charms, glossy gel finish, and delicate 3D kawaii details. The nails should look elegant, cute, clean, and very visible. Fingers should be slender and neatly posed, suitable for ASMR hand movements such as tapping, gentle tracing, whisper-roleplay gestures, holding small props, and presenting hands toward the camera. Expression strip: Create 5 small headshots using the exact same face, hair, eye color, skin tone, and makeup: neutral happy focused / gentle ASMR concentration surprised soft sad Color palette strip: Include labeled swatches at the bottom: Hair black: #0B0B0E Eye gray-blue: #BFC8D8 Skin fair peach: #F6DDD7 Blush pink: #F2B5C2 Lips glossy rose: #DFA3AA Main outfit pastel pink: #F6C6D8 White fabric: #FAF7F5 Bow accent pink: #EFA4C1 Skirt shadow pink: #E8B7CA Nail base pink: #F8C9DA Nail lavender accents: #CDB7F6 Pearl nail accents: #FFF4F8 Keep consistent: Same face, same light gray-blue eyes, same long black center-parted hairstyle, same fair skin, same soft blush, same body proportions, same cute feminine silhouette, same outfit, same color palette, same kawaii nail design, and same gentle ASMR streamer personality across every view and expression. Hands and nails must remain consistent in all views. The nails should never disappear, change shape, change color, or become plain. Style: Clean production character sheet style, polished semi-realistic kawaii character design, soft even lighting, neutral poses, clear readable layout, plain light neutral background, high detail on face, hair, outfit, hands, and nails. Do not: Do not redesign the face. Do not change the hairstyle. Do not add headphones. Do not use the original hoodie outfit. Do not create alternate outfits. Do not hide the hands. Do not make the nails short or plain. Do not change the nail design between views. Do not add extra accessories unless they are part of the listed outfit. Do not add extra characters. Do not use cinematic lighting. Do not use action poses. Do not add a detailed background scene. Do not make the expressions look like different people.

Color direction guide: Analyze the uploaded character image and create a professional color direction guide for environment design that complements the character. Focus on harmony, contrast, readability, and worldbuilding. Do not redesign the character. Do not generate a full scene yet. Focus only on color analysis and palette design. TASK 1 — Extract the character’s existing palette Identify the main visible colors from the character image. For each color, provide: - Color name - Hex code - Where it appears on the character - Role in the design: base color, secondary color, shadow, highlight, accent, skin/fur/material, glow, trim, etc. TASK 2 — Describe the character’s color identity Briefly summarize: - Overall mood - Color temperature - Saturation level - Contrast level - Dominant color relationships - What kind of environment colors would best support this character visually TASK 3 — Create environment palettes that harmonize with the character Create 5 distinct environment color palettes that would work well for this character. Each palette should include: - Palette name - Suggested environment type (ASMR streamer set up) - 6–8 colors with hex codes - Intended use for each color: sky, atmosphere, ground, architecture, foliage, props, accent light, shadow, haze, etc. - A short explanation of why the palette works with the character - Colors to avoid so the character remains readable and does not blend into the environment TASK 4 — Recommend the strongest palette Choose the single best environment palette for this character and explain why it offers the best combination of harmony, readability, mood, and storytelling potential. OUTPUT FORMAT Use a clean, organized presentation with headings and tables where helpful. Keep the wording concise, practical, and art-directable.

What did NOT work : Sometimes the directional arrows from the storyboard would stick around. Need to add some negatives to avoid this.

Great workflow! Glad you tried previs style storyboards. In my experiences, for the arrows, putting the negative prompt toward the beginning of the prompt works better.

Thanks for the tip, Koda! I usually put it at the end 😅 I should try that and it makes sense it would work better as it is the first thing the model reads. Do you know how it reads the storyboards? Which direction or way? I wonder if we can adjust it there instead.

Usually I explicitly tell it how to read the storyboard. If there’s numbering, it generally follows the numbers and the sequence order you define. It’s actually pretty flexible about following whatever progression structure you want. You could probably add negative prompts directly as a note inside the storyboard too, but I’m not fully sure how consistently it would follow it there compared to putting them in the main prompt.

nice I love that u also ad subtitles eiei

First time I do it! Nikita suggested it a couple days ago and figured I would give it a shot. I forgot to prompt for it on some scenes so had to add them with CapCut 😅

So cool. The video looks very natural

TY!

Wow this character training this gives amazing results

🥰

This detailed Seedance + storyboard workflow for kawaii ASMR is pure creator gold!

great workflow actually! thanks

the hard part of working with language models isn't crafting perfect prompts, it's figuring out what you don't want them to do instead

Sucks that @topazlabs went subscription only 😡 need a good alternative video upscaler without the monthly fee!

@topazlabs Totally worth the sub imo

Really need to try this storyboard technique on seedance.. this would free me from trial and error on my last episode of a series..

Congratulations on your success

Thank you friend!

It's amazing creative

That storyboard trick is wild. Directional arrows got too comfy, huh? CapCut masking doing the heavy lifting as usual.

Always wondering why wispering is a hot thing 🤣

Beats me, too 🤭🤭

previs storyboard prompts work really well for character motion intent but yeah, models love adding directional arrows even when you say no. negative-prompt 'no arrows, no annotations' usually fixes it for me. depends on model though

This is very cool! How to make the voice consistent btw?

I think I’ve gotten lucky! I try to prompt the same way with her.

previs storyboard is the move

💯

Super cool!

TY Zeng 🥰

that is some extensive prompts ..... 😮 thanks for sharing 😊

🫶

hehe bloopers is fun dear!

😅😅

Character looks amazing; just that the way she handles the “camera” gives it away🤭

About 75% the way through I thought you were going to make a plumbus

This is such a high quality! I would love to invite you to our community on Discord if you are interested

This breakdown shows how much structure it takes to guide these tools toward something that feels alive. The storyboard arrows sticking around really makes you wonder where the line is between control and happy accidents.

good ASMR 💯
