Identity anchors
Traits the production intends to preserve across the film, regardless of scene order or generation order.
Free pre-production tool
AI character consistency planner.
Build one continuity bible that separates permanent identity from intentional story change. Carry approved references and state IDs through scenes, prompts, generations, review notes, and the final edit.

Build the continuity bible
Lock identity. Version every intentional change.
Use stable state IDs in reference filenames, prompts, shot lists, review notes, and the edit. This planner stores nothing after the page reloads and does not upload reference images.
The governing rule
Do not fix an intentional change—or approve an accidental one.
Story states
Wardrobe, injury, dirt, fatigue, location conditions, props, and emotional changes attached to specific story moments.
Edit checkpoints
Review decisions made between neighboring shots at intended duration, with sound and narrative context.
Review protocol
Check in layers, not from memory.
A shot can preserve a face while breaking screen direction, voice, prop condition, or emotional state. Separate passes reveal what a general “looks consistent” review misses.
- 01
Compare approved references
Check face, hair, silhouette, signature details, wardrobe state, and permitted source assets.
- 02
Compare neighboring shots
Check geography, eyeline, screen direction, light, prop hand, action continuity, and voice identity.
- 03
Compare story state
Confirm that every scripted change happens once, at the right moment, and remains true afterward.
Continuity questions
Control what matters without overloading the shot.
What belongs in permanent identity?
Traits that should not drift accidentally: face structure, hair baseline, body proportions, dominant hand, posture, recurring marks, and signature mannerisms. Scene-linked changes belong in state records.
Why create separate wardrobe and prop state IDs?
A state ID lets the same approved description and references travel through the script breakdown, shot list, prompts, review notes, and edit. Intentional changes become traceable instead of looking like generation errors.
Do more reference images always improve consistency?
No. Conflicting, weak, or irrelevant references can introduce drift. Use the smallest approved set that clearly shows the identity, angle, wardrobe, and state required for the shot.
Can this planner guarantee a consistent character?
No. It creates a production control system. Model behavior, reference support, camera angle, action, lighting, occlusion, and updates can still affect the result.
Should voice and performance consent be stored here?
Only a public-safe summary. Keep signed releases, license terms, identity records, and confidential agreements in the private production archive.

Connect continuity to shots, credits, and release.
Use the continuity bible beside the shot plan, then carry performer, voice, likeness, and tool disclosures into the credits and release package.
