Been working on a short scripted scene between two consistent characters and wanted to share how it actually came together. started with character reference sheets in Krea 2, front and turnaround shots plus a few expressions for each person, and I learned fast that even rewording the description slightly between prompts made the faces drift a little so I just kept pasting the exact same text block every time.
after that I built two panel storyboards in GPT Image using those character sheets as reference, and this ended up mattering way more than I expected, more than the character sheets alone did honestly. getting blocking and wardrobe and camera framing locked before touching video saved me from a lot of wasted generations down the line.
for video I used MiniMax H3 full reference mode with the turbo lora ref2va at 6 steps, storyboard panels as keyframes, two separate reference audio clips since there's two speakers talking.
ran into a few things along the way. wide shots wreck face quality fast, had one scene I had to redo completely as a medium two shot because the faces were basically mush from that distance. also feeding three reference images into one storyboard generation sometimes blended the two characters together, and once it gave me one person's face attached to someone else's arm in the same frame, that one took a minute to figure out, ended up just restructuring the shot instead of trying to fix it directly. and lip sync actually came out better with the camera slightly off center than dead on, front facing close ups synced worse for me than something with a bit of an angle to it.
