Most people generate every single shot from scratch. As a result, faces, outfits, lighting, environments, and aesthetics shift constantly.
A better approach is using one image as a visual anchor.
First, the AI analyzes the source, locks all key constants, and only then generates new camera angles, framings, and details.
The formula:
ANALYZE → LOCK → VARY
- Analyze — Deconstruct the original image.
- Lock — Pin down visual anchors.
- Vary — Change only the camera, framing, pose, or selected elements.
Below are 5 universal prompts. Upload your reference image alongside the prompt to generate storyboards.
