The exact workflow and prompts to create a consistent AI character, place her in any scene, and bring her to life on video. Copy, paste, post.
A guide by Mercy Thaddeus · @mercythaddeus_
What you'll build
One face. A hundred posts.
You're going to create a single, believable AI character, lock her identity so she never drifts, and then drop her into endless lifestyle scenes that look real enough to stop the scroll. Everything runs on free tools and copy-paste prompts. Here is the whole flow.
Lock the foundation face
Find a look you love on Pinterest, run it through ChatGPT with Prompt 1 below. It writes a full photorealistic description of a brand new person inspired by it, not a copy. That paragraph is your character's DNA.
Generate her in Flow
Open Flow at labs.google to access Nano Banana, free with a Google account. Paste the prompt, generate, and save your foundation face.
Place her in any scene
Find a scene on Pinterest, run it through ChatGPT with Prompt 2, take that back to Flow with your model uploaded as the reference, and she's in the scene, styled and lit to match.
Bring her to life
Drop any finished image into Veo 3 inside Flow with the video prompt. It generates her voice and lip-syncs the line. A few seconds, a gesture, a laugh, done.
Step 1 prompt
The foundation face
Paste this into ChatGPT along with a Pinterest image of the look you want.
Prompt 1 · paste with a person reference
Look at the attached image. Write me a detailed image generation prompt for a brand new person clearly inspired by this reference but not the same individual. Keep the overall vibe, energy, age range, and aesthetic, but change the identifying features, face shape, exact eye and nose details, hairline, any distinguishing marks, enough that this is obviously a different person, and make her a touch more striking and naturally beautiful.
Describe her in rich detail: approximate age, face shape, skin tone and texture including pores and subtle natural imperfections, eye color and shape, eyebrows, lashes, nose, lips, hair color, length, texture and styling, body type, posture, and overall expression and mood.
Write it for photorealism. Include real camera language like shot on a 35mm lens at f1.8 with natural depth of field and fine film grain, natural slightly imperfect lighting like soft window light or overcast daylight with gentle shadows and no flat studio glow, and realistic skin with visible texture instead of a smooth retouched look. Avoid anything that screams AI: no over symmetry, no glossy plastic skin, no doll like eyes.
Give me the final result as one clean paragraph I can copy straight into an image generator. Do not generate an image, only the text prompt.
The consistency secret
Reusing the face is not enough.
Uploading the same reference image alone still lets her slowly drift into a different person. Save the written description ChatGPT gives you, that's your character sheet, and paste it into every single generation alongside the reference image. The picture plus the locked words together is what keeps her identical from post one.
Step 3 prompt
Drop her into any scene
Paste this with a Pinterest image of a scene. It describes everything but the face, and makes her blend in naturally, makeup for a dinner, sweat for the gym, so nothing looks pasted in.
Prompt 2 · paste with a scene reference
Look at the attached image. Write me a detailed image generation prompt that recreates this scene so I can place my own character into it. Describe everything except the person's face: the setting and location, time of day, lighting and shadows, background details, the outfit and styling, the pose and body language, the framing and camera angle, and the overall mood.
Make the subject blend into the scene naturally and realistically, as if she genuinely belongs there. Match every detail to the context. If the reference is a dinner or a night out with makeup, give her makeup too, but suited to her own face. If it is a gym, show real sweat, flushed skin, and damp hair like someone who is actually working out. Match her grooming, wardrobe, skin, body language, and the way the light and environment fall on her to the setting, so nothing looks pasted in.
Write it for photorealism with real camera language, a specific lens and aperture, natural depth of field, and fine grain, plus natural imperfect lighting and realistic textures. Avoid anything that looks obviously AI: no plastic skin, no flat studio glow, no over symmetry.
Phrase it so the subject is "the woman in the reference image," since I will upload my own character as the reference. Give me the final result as one clean paragraph I can copy straight into an image generator. Do not generate an image, only the text prompt.
Step 4 prompt
Make her talk
Drop a finished image into Veo 3 inside Flow. Veo generates the voice and lip-syncs the line. Swap the dialogue for anything you want.
Image-to-video · Veo 3
Animate this image into an 8-second talking clip. The woman from the reference stays exactly as she is: same face, brown corset blazer dress, gold disc earrings, slicked-back ponytail, seated at the podcast mic with the warm wood-slat backdrop and the camera on a tripod behind her. She is mid-conversation as a podcast guest, speaking naturally to an unseen host just off camera with relaxed, expressive energy. As she talks she lifts one hand in a light natural gesture near her chest, the gold rings catching the light, then lowers it again. Her expression is warm and confident with subtle mouth and eye movement, small head tilts, and realistic blinking. At the end she breaks into a soft, genuine little laugh, shoulders easing and eyes crinkling slightly.
She says, in a warm conversational tone: "Everyone thinks I have it all figured out. Honestly? I'm just winging it," followed by a light, real laugh.
Audio: her clear natural voice delivering the line, soft studio room tone, no music. Camera: locked off or an extremely subtle slow push-in, framing steady. Lighting stays warm and consistent with the reference. Keep it photorealistic with natural skin texture and lifelike motion, no face morphing, no warping of the hands, fingers, mic, or earrings, no extra people, and no on-screen text. Duration about 8 seconds.

Pose her seated and turned slightly off-camera as if addressing a host, one hand raised mid-gesture while she speaks, confident and engaged. Frame it as a vertical medium portrait from chest height using a 50mm lens at f/2.0 with shallow depth. Use warm directional studio light with soft realistic shadows and gentle highlights on her skin and hair, fine grain, true fabric texture, believable sheen on the gold hardware, with no flat studio glow, no over-symmetry, no glossy AI skin, and no warped hands or fingers. For a tighter shot, crop to a head-and-shoulders close-up keeping the mic and gesture in frame.
Pro tips
Keep it real, keep it her
Upload your model as the reference every time, and paste the character sheet text alongside it. That combo is what holds the face.
Realism lives in imperfection: skin texture and pores, real camera language, slightly imperfect lighting, and a little messy framing.
Describe branded items generically, a red bandeau, a silver carry-on, so the generator doesn't choke or copy logos.
Always match her to the scene. Dinner gets makeup, the gym gets sweat, the beach gets a sunscreen sheen. That's what sells the blend.
If a scene starts to drift, paste the face description back into the prompt to pin her down.
