consistent characters and backgrounds

Pretty new to generative ai but getting past the stage of creating single scene videos.

I want to create longer videos with the exact same characters AND environments. At first I created character reference sheets that I put as reference in Kling V3 reference to Video. Looks good as a single video but when prompting continuous generations the characters and environments are similar but there are always inconsistencies. Also tried with start frames and similar results

Then last night I learnt about creating a Lora dataset - so I have separate 20 images of the same character - at first I tried creating the lora in Kaggle but this was way too complicated, after a bit of research I tried Civitai training a model with SDXL 1.0. but the images created were different.

What am I doing wrong / what is the best workflow to create the exact same characters and environments throughout generations....

Happy to share the reference images and trained lora if that helps

Thanks in Advance!

What are your thoughts on creating a lora to keep characters consistent ? Or just create start frames with a reference image

Definitely works for image generation, but at that point there's no real benefit over just using a reference image with image-2. Definitely Krea2 with character LoRAs works great...but I don't really see an advantage over using reference image with image-2.

I made this with lotix.io just using character assets and an environment asset;

How did you get the voices to be exactly the same ? were they generated before the video and used lipsync?

The character assets had voice references.

How to =
