Character continuity across a 3-shot sequence

Keep one character locked across wide, medium and close-up shots by separating identity anchors from camera and scene variables.

Works with Midjourney, Flux

Use it when: Storyboards, comics and narrative sequences where --cref or base Flux drifts when the lens, angle or lighting changes.

ANATOMY INVARIANTWARDROBE ANCHORSHOT GEOMETRY & CAMERADYNAMIC SCENE & LIGHTING

Your prompt

Paste the two anchor blocks unchanged into every shot. Only edit the SHOT and SCENE lines.

[ANATOMY INVARIANT]: {apparent age}, {ethnicity}, {bone structure, e.g. angular jaw, prominent brow ridge}, {immutable traits, e.g. thin scar on left cheek, copper-threaded side braid}.
[WARDROBE ANCHOR]: {core garments with materials, e.g. worn tan leather utility vest with brass buckles over a charcoal waffle-knit henley}.

--- Shot 01 (establishing) ---
[SHOT GEOMETRY & CAMERA]: 24mm wide, low angle, full body small in frame.
[DYNAMIC SCENE & LIGHTING]: {location}, {time of day}, {light source and color temperature}, volumetric haze.

--- Shot 02 (action) ---
[SHOT GEOMETRY & CAMERA]: 50mm medium, eye level, waist up, background softly blurred.
[DYNAMIC SCENE & LIGHTING]: {action mid-motion}, same location, {practical light, e.g. warm work lamp}.

--- Shot 03 (reaction) ---
[SHOT GEOMETRY & CAMERA]: 85mm tight close-up, eye level, shallow depth of field.
[DYNAMIC SCENE & LIGHTING]: {expression}, {rim light}, {background bokeh color}.

Notes: keep lens and angle out of the character lines, or faces warp to compensate. Midjourney: add --cref <shot 01 URL> --cw 100 for shots 02-03 (--cw 30 if you change the outfit on purpose). Flux: reuse the same seed for a first pass.
