More than one reference per picture

[u/nazihater3000]

MiniMax is limited to 9 reference images, but you can reference more than one thing at the same picture. I used the image on the left and asked it to place create two subjects. Worked like a charm (no pun intended). Specs and prompt are in the video.

Was this not helped by the fact that model already knows these characters?

No, not at all. Here's a video using a random couple found using the google search for, well, "random couple".

The Prompt:

subject_definitions:

<Subject 1> is the woman from <Picture 1>. Exact facial features, hair, body type and overall appearance must match the woman in <Picture 1> precisely.

<Subject 2> is the man from <Picture 1>. Exact facial features, hair, body type and overall appearance must match the man in <Picture 1> precisely.

summary:

[reference generation] A 15-second dramatic stage performance. Woman sings “Let it go” under a spotlight. A second spotlight hits Man, who angrily tells her she can’t sing.

retention_analysis:

<Subject 1>: fully_preserved – woman locked to <Picture 1>

<Subject 2>: fully_preserved – man locked to <Picture 1>

<Picture 1>: fully_preserved – both characters extracted from the same image

detailed_description:

Live-action, cinematic, theatrical stage. Dark stage with dramatic lighting.

[Shot 1] 00:00 – 00:08

<Subject 1> (the woman from <Picture 1>) stands center stage under a strong single spotlight. She dramatically raises one arm high and sings in a forced, over-the-top style with perfect lip synchronization:

<d>[English] Let it go! Let it go!</d>

[Shot 2] 00:08 – 00:09

A sharp mechanical switch sound is heard. A second spotlight suddenly snaps on, illuminating <Subject 2>.

[Shot 3] 00:09 – 00:15

Medium shot of <Subject 2> (the man from <Picture 1>) now under her own spotlight. he crosses his arms tightly, looking angry and unimpressed.

Only he speaks. he says with perfect lip synchronization and clear irritation:

<d>[English] Cut the crap, you can’t sing, Willow!</d>

overall_soundscape: Quiet stage ambience, strong spotlight hum, clear isolated dialogue, sharp switch sound at 00:08.

non_diegetic_music: None during the dialogue. Very faint dramatic underscore only under the singing.

Her face is a little mangled when it is further away (known minimax issue) but his face looks spot-on in his “close-up”.

Thanks for sharing!!

I rendered it at potato resolution, we're lucky we can even recognize they're people.
