The prince offers a flower, the woman sneezes, pollen dusts him and turns him into a frog, and his full-sized hat drops down to cover him. Three prompts in total: one character sheet each for the woman and the prince, plus an eleven-shot animation script that nails camera position, field of view, every line of dialogue and where the music ducks — closing on the punchline “I already have a boyfriend anyway.”

SCENE ARC: A prince offers a magical flower → her sneeze breaks his enchantment → his magnificent hat conceals a tiny frog → she adopts her would-be suitor. SHOT STRUCTURE: 11 shots, exactly 30 seconds, horizontal 16:9. Follow the timings below. Deliberate cinematic hard cuts between shots, with matching action and consistent screen direction. REFS: @Image1 = woman’s character sheet. Controls her exact facial identity, brown hair colour, waist-length voluminous waves, blue bow, lace choker, sparkling blue velvet dress and blue heels. @Image2 = prince’s character sheet. Controls his exact facial identity, brown swept-back hair, emerald velvet doublet, ivory trousers, boots, burgundy cape and oversized feathered burgundy hat. ACTIVE REFERENCES: @Image1 , @Image2 . Each sheet depicts one person in two views. Extract the individual characters into the forest; reference backgrounds and panel layouts are excluded. GLOBAL STYLE NOTES: • look: Photorealistic live-action fairy-tale cinema with the lush 1950s three-strip Technicolor aesthetic. Jack Cardiff-inspired lighting: golden afternoon sunlight streams diagonally through the canopy from the northwest, soft reflected light keeps faces readable, deeper forest layers retain rich emerald shadows. Saturated blue velvet, burgundy, pink flowers and warm natural skin remain distinct. Fine 35mm grain, restrained highlight halation, crisp eyes, tactile velvet, intricate lace and realistic skin. Practical woodland sets with substantial trunks, real foliage and dimensional foregrounds. Magical effects occupy physical space and illuminate nearby surfaces briefly. • setting: An enchanted forest clearing surrounded by immense gnarled trees, moss-covered roots, arching ferns and clusters of pink woodland flowers. A firm earth path crosses the clearing, allowing natural footing in heels. Layers of foliage extend into a softly hazy distance. Birds, leaf movement, footfalls and fabric rustle establish a living forest. • geography: A massive split oak anchors the north edge; a low mossy root marks the centre. The woman stands west of the root, the prince east, facing each other about one metre apart. Cameras remain south of their east–west interaction axis. Each character occupies one physical position at a time. The frog replaces the prince at his exact ground position. • flower: One long-stemmed pink flower with a cup-shaped bloom containing fine golden pollen. Initially held upright in the prince’s right hand. Its pollen provides the only airborne glitter before the transformation. • frog: After transformation, the prince becomes one palm-sized emerald-green frog with a pale cream throat, gold-green eyes, moist finely textured skin and anatomically natural frog limbs. His body and clothing transform together; only his full-sized burgundy hat and ivory feather remain separate. The frog keeps this exact appearance and size. • music: Original classic fairy-tale orchestral score: lilting strings, harp and celesta during courtship, a rising woodwind hesitation before the sneeze, one orchestral accent for the transformation, then restrained bassoon and pizzicato for the comedy. Music recedes beneath speech. Finish with a short resolved orchestral cadence. • voices: Woman — warm clear adult feminine voice, conversational American English, lightly husky mid-register, relaxed timing and dry comic delivery. Prince and speaking frog — the same smooth adult male baritone, precise English diction and slightly theatrical courtly phrasing. Dialogue comes visibly from the speaking character. ACTING — WOMAN: Scene direction: Accept the encounter gracefully while deciding what to make of this extravagant stranger. Fuel: Curiosity about his elaborate gift. Goal: Inspect the flower and find out whether his charm is convincing. Obstacle: The pollen interrupts her composure; the frog suddenly requires a practical decision. Tactic: Compare his face with the flower, watch for his response, then inspect the frog with the same deliberate attention. Channel: Taking the stem, smelling the bloom, lifting the hat and carefully collecting the frog. Gaze always engaged in the task, natural blink cadence. ACTING — PRINCE / FROG: Scene direction: Keep the encounter graceful and win her attention. Fuel: Confidence in his romantic presentation. Goal: Make her accept him along with the flower. Obstacle: His own gift exposes his frog form. Tactic: Track her response to the gift; after transforming, look up toward her face and wait for her verdict. Channel: A small bow and a carefully extended flower; later, a lifted frog head and forefeet braced on her palm. Gaze always engaged in the task. SEQUENCE LIST: SHOT 1 (0–3s) HOOK — wide moving two-shot • first_frame: Both characters already visible, woman at the left third, prince at the right third, immense oak and flower-filled clearing behind them. His right hand is already bringing the glittering pink flower forward. • camera: Low waist-height wide two-shot, southwest three-quarter angle, 84° field of view; short lateral dolly along the path. Foreground ferns give parallax while both full costumes and the forest remain readable. • action_visual: He takes one measured step toward her and presents the bloom with a small bow. His cape swings with the step and settles; golden pollen glints inside the flower. She stops and turns her attention from his feathered hat to the gift. • acting: He searches her face for permission to approach; she weighs his flourish before meeting his eyes. • exit: The offered flower settles between them. (HARD CUT TO) SHOT 2 (3–5s) SETUP — medium close-up of prince • camera: Eye-level southeast angle, 29° field of view, gently advancing portrait camera; his face sharp against compressed woodland colour. • action_visual: He holds the stem steadily toward her, keeping his wrist below the flower. • acting: He checks whether she is looking at him before delivering the line. • dialog: Prince: “For you, my lady.” • exit: Her right hand enters the lower frame to accept the stem. (CUT ON ACTION TO) SHOT 3 (5–7s) — flower and hands detail • camera: High oblique southwest angle, 18° field of view, locked detail framing. • action_visual: Her right thumb and forefinger close around the stem below the bloom. He releases it completely and withdraws his hand. A few fine grains fall from the petals as she raises the flower. • acting: The transfer is deliberate and gentle. • exit: The flower rises toward her face. (CUT ON ACTION TO) SHOT 4 (7–10s) RISING — woman’s close-up • camera: Eye-level southeast three-quarter angle, 29° field of view, subtle physical push-in; face and bloom sharp, woodland softly compressed behind. • action_visual: ONE CONTINUOUS UNCUT ACTION — she brings the bloom beneath her nose and inhales softly; a trace of golden pollen lifts toward her nostrils. Her breath catches, eyes briefly narrow and the flower pauses below her chin. • acting: She tries to finish inspecting the gift while suppressing the gathering sneeze. • audio: Her small inhalation becomes audible; the orchestral phrase hesitates. • exit: Her shoulders rise with one involuntary preparatory breath. (HARD CUT TO) SHOT 5 (10–13s) CLIMAX — full two-shot • camera: Waist-height southwest angle, 84° field of view, locked composition showing both complete bodies and the earth beneath the prince. • action_visual: ONE CONTINUOUS UNCUT ACTION — she sneezes once over the flower; her breath sends its golden pollen directly onto the prince. On contact, a compact golden magical puff envelops his silhouette. His silhouette contracts rapidly down to the ground inside the puff, becoming the single frog. His full-sized hat drops vertically through the settling particles and lands crown-up over the frog with a soft fabric thump. The woman remains fully visible throughout. • reaction: Her gaze follows his disappearance down to the fallen hat; her flower hand lowers. • audio: Audible sneeze, brief sparkling rush, one orchestral accent, then a beat of quiet forest ambience. • exit: The hat rests motionless at the prince’s former position. (HARD CUT TO) SHOT 6 (13–15s) — medium low-angle reaction • camera: Ground-height southeast angle looking slightly upward, 47° field of view; gentle tilt follows her lowering into a crouch. • action_visual: ONE CONTINUOUS UNCUT ACTION — she places the flower on the moss to free her right hand, then reaches toward the hat brim. Her skirt gathers naturally around her knees. • acting: She examines the hat before committing to touching it, checking for movement beneath. • exit: Her right fingertips close on the brim. (CUT ON ACTION TO) SHOT 7 (15–18s) TWIST — ground-level frog reveal • camera: Southwest ground-level close-up, 29° field of view, locked on the moss beneath the hat. • action_visual: She lifts the hat upward, revealing the little green frog planted on the earth. It raises its head toward her, throat moving and mouth opening with restrained articulation as it speaks. Real frog anatomy and texture remain intact. • acting: The frog holds her gaze, waiting to see whether one dignified sentence can recover the encounter. • dialog: Frog, in the prince’s unchanged baritone: “It was going so well.” • exit: The frog’s mouth closes; its gaze stays lifted toward her. (HARD CUT TO) SHOT 8 (18–21s) — medium crouching view • camera: Southeast three-quarter angle, slightly above her crouched eye level, 47° field of view; short smooth push-in showing her face, hands and frog. • action_visual: ONE CONTINUOUS UNCUT ACTION — she sets the hat on the ground behind the frog, then slides both open hands beneath its body and lifts it gently. Its belly and four limbs remain supported by her cupped palms. • acting: She studies its face at closer range, the corner of her mouth beginning to turn upward as she arrives at a decision. • exit: The frog settles securely in her palms at chest height. (HARD CUT TO) SHOT 9 (21–25s) PUNCHLINE — medium close-up • camera: Eye-level southwest angle, 29° field of view, gentle physical push-in; her face and the frog in her hands remain readable together. • action_visual: Still crouching, she addresses the frog directly, hands steady beneath it. Her lips articulate the complete line naturally. • acting: She offers her solution as if it were perfectly reasonable, watching the frog to see whether it accepts. • dialog: Woman: “Oh, well. You can be my pet.” • audio: Music drops beneath her voice; a brief conversational pause follows “well.” • exit: She keeps her eyes on the frog through a small pause. (HARD CUT TO) SHOT 10 (25–28s) — tighter three-quarter portrait • camera: Southeast angle, 18° field of view, locked portrait with her face and the frog at the lower edge; compressed pink and green forest background. • action_visual: She adds the final sentence with an easy, matter-of-fact cadence. The frog stays supported, looking up at her. • acting: She lets the information land, then gives it a small closed-mouth smile. • dialog: Woman: “I already have a boyfriend anyway.” • exit: One short beat after “anyway”; the frog’s throat expands. (HARD CUT TO) SHOT 11 (28–30s) RESOLUTION — wide departure • camera: Low southwest wide angle, 84° field of view, short dolly backward revealing the clearing. • action_visual: ONE CONTINUOUS UNCUT ACTION — she rises with the frog securely cupped in both hands and turns into her first step along the path toward the east. Her heavy velvet skirt and long waves follow the turn with natural inertia. The abandoned oversized hat and pink flower remain together in the foreground. • acting: Her attention shifts toward the path; the frog releases one short croak from her hands. • audio: Dry frog croak, answering bassoon note, then a brief resolved orchestral cadence. • exit: End on her moving away with her new pet, the prince’s grand hat left on the forest floor. DIALOGUE CONSTRAINTS: Only the four written dialogue lines, spoken in their assigned shots. Clear synchronized mouth movement. The frog speaks only its assigned line and croaks once at the end. Music and ambience duck beneath dialogue. No narration, subtitles, captions or on-screen text.
✍️ Editor’s Notes

This one runs on a structured storyboard format: the scene arc, character sheets, global style and eleven shots are all broken into fixed fields like camera/action_visual/dialog, turning blocking, movement and dialogue into a checkable list. The geography note locks down east-west stage positions specifically to stop the AI from swapping characters left-right or breaking eyeline continuity. The ONE CONTINUOUS UNCUT ACTION tags stop the model from chopping a one-shot physical event like the sneeze-transformation into jittery cuts, using contact, contraction and the hat landing as three stacked details to fight the model's tendency to warp things when startled. The tradeoff: it reads as engineering-heavy, with a higher entry barrier than an ordinary prompt.

TASK: Create one horizontal 16:9 character reference diptych containing exactly two photographs of the same real adult woman. Left — full-length frontal standing portrait. Right — large three-quarter close-up, from above her hair bow to her upper chest. Both photographs share a plain neutral-grey studio background. Keep the presentation entirely photographic, with clean unmarked space around the subject. IDENTITY: Use the single supplied image @image1 as the exact identity reference. Preserve her facial geometry, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, skin tone and subtle natural facial asymmetry. Her hair must retain her own exact colour from @image1 throughout its entire length. Render the same recognizable woman in both views. CINEMA_STYLE: A costume-test photograph for a lavish 1950s live-action Technicolor fairy-tale film. Jack Cardiff-inspired luminous studio lighting, rich three-strip Technicolor colour separation, sculpted dimensional forms, warm lifelike skin, deep clean colours and fine restrained 35mm grain. The woman and costume look physically real, with crisp facial detail and tactile materials. FIGURE_AND_POSE: Tall woman with long legs, a slender cinched waist and a naturally full bust. She stands upright facing the camera, head level, shoulders relaxed, hands resting loosely beside her skirt. Calm expression with softly closed lips. Show the complete silhouette, from the top of her bow to both heels, with comfortable margins. HAIRSTYLE: Very long, thick, voluminous loose hair cascading all the way to her waist in broad flowing S-waves and large soft curls. A romantic half-up hairstyle with lifted roots and a sculpted side-swept front wave curving above the forehead. Temple sections sweep back beneath the bow, while abundant loose lengths spill over both shoulders and down her back. Preserve distinct strands and natural hair texture. Match the colour exclusively to @image1 . HAIR_BOW: A large powder-blue bow high on the crown, attached to a narrow matching headband. Two broad softly structured loops extend sideways from a gathered central knot, with rounded folded edges and short ribbon tails resting against the hair. The entire bow remains visible in both portraits. DRESS: Powder-blue velvet fairy-tale dress with a closely fitted corset bodice, pronounced narrow waist, short rounded puff sleeves and a full bell-shaped skirt ending at mid-calf. The bodice follows the bust with fine vertical shaping seams and finishes in a subtle central point at the waist. A wide softly squared neckline is edged with a narrow ruffle of delicate white scalloped floral lace. Generously gathered puff sleeves end at mid-upper-arm in small white lace frills. The skirt opens from tightly gathered waist folds into soft, weighty volume supported by a light petticoat, with a fine white lace ruffle along the hem. VELVET: Dense short-pile velvet with a soft plush surface and rich directional lustre. Powder-blue raised folds catch luminous icy-blue highlights, while recessed folds deepen to cornflower blue. Tiny silver and pale-blue glitter particles are sparsely integrated across the velvet, catching the light as delicate pinpoints. The velvet pile and fabric folds remain clearly visible beneath the fine sparkle. ACCESSORIES: A narrow white scalloped floral-lace choker with a small powder-blue ribbon bow at the centre and two short hanging tails. Elegant powder-blue pointed-toe pumps with slender high heels. Bare lower legs and ankles. CLOSE_UP: The right portrait shows her face large and clearly readable in a gentle three-quarter turn, eyes toward the lens. Include the complete hair bow, lifted front wave, cascading side curls, lace choker and upper neckline. Preserve the exact face from @image1 , with visible pores, fine skin texture and natural eye catchlights. LIGHTING: Large diffused studio key from upper front-left, gentle frontal fill and a restrained hair light. Sculpt the cheeks softly, reveal the velvet nap and catch individual glitter points. Keep the grey backdrop evenly lit, with soft contact shadows beneath her shoes. CONTINUITY: Identical face, original hair colour, waist-length hairstyle, bow, body proportions, velvet dress and accessories in both photographs.
✍️ Editor’s Notes

This prompt follows a two-shot character-sheet approach: full body on the left, close-up on the right, generated in one pass. All-caps fields split hairstyle, bow, dress, velvet texture and accessories into separate entries so the model is less likely to drop details in a long prompt. IDENTITY and CLOSE_UP both stress "preserve the exact face from @image1", guarding against the reference face drifting during generation — the most common failure point in character-consistency work. CINEMA_STYLE frames the look as a studio costume-test photograph rather than "illustration" or "CG", anchoring the render in photographic realism and away from a cartoon tendency. The closing CONTINUITY section restates the earlier constraints, a belt-and-suspenders move for consistency across the two frames, though it does leave the prompt feeling repetitive.

TASK: Create one horizontal 16:9 character reference diptych containing exactly two photographs of the same adult prince. Left — complete full-length frontal standing portrait. Right — large three-quarter close-up from above his hat to his upper chest. Both photographs share a plain neutral-grey studio background. Clean image-only presentation. CINEMA_STYLE: A costume-test photograph for a lavish 1950s live-action fairy-tale film, with rich three-strip Technicolor colour separation and Jack Cardiff-inspired luminous studio lighting. A real actor in a finely handcrafted practical costume. Saturated colours, warm lifelike skin, dimensional fabric textures and fine restrained 35mm grain. CHARACTER: Handsome prince around 30 years old, tall and athletic, with broad shoulders, a trim waist and naturally proportioned limbs. Charming, slightly self-satisfied romantic confidence, expressed through an upright posture and a subtle closed-mouth smile. FACE: An angular oval face, defined jaw, sculpted cheekbones, straight nose, expressive hazel-green eyes and thick dark eyebrows. Clean-shaven, with softly defined lips and a small natural difference in eyebrow height and mouth corners. High detail, bright skin, natural skin texture and realistic gloss, natural glow, skin grain, soft matte finish, every pore and fine line retained. HAIR: Thick dark chestnut hair, medium length, with a neat side part and broad natural waves swept back from the forehead. Soft volume at the temples, carefully groomed sideburns and a tidy nape. Hair remains clearly visible beneath the hat. HAT: An oversized deep burgundy velvet cavalier hat with a broad sweeping brim, turned upward on one side. A wide matching ribbon wraps around the crown, secured with an antique-gold ornamental clasp. One long ivory ostrich feather curves upward and outward from the clasp. The hat rests naturally on his head, with the entire brim and feather visible in both photographs. DOUBLET: A fitted deep emerald-green velvet doublet ending at the upper hips, with a structured waist, broad shoulders and long fitted sleeves. A neat row of small antique-gold buttons closes the front. Narrow gold embroidery follows the front opening, standing collar and cuffs, forming delicate curling botanical motifs. Dense short velvet pile creates luminous green highlights and dark emerald folds. SHIRT: An ivory silk shirt beneath the doublet, with a softly folded open collar framing the neck and narrow gathered ivory cuffs visible at the wrists. CAPE: A short burgundy velvet cape draped over his left shoulder and falling to the back of the knee, secured near the collarbone with an antique-gold clasp. Muted golden silk lining appears along its folded edge. The cape hangs clear of his right arm and preserves a readable body silhouette. LOWER_COSTUME: High-waisted fitted warm-ivory trousers tucked neatly into polished dark chocolate-brown leather riding boots. Knee-high boots with softly turned cuffs, shaped ankles and low stacked heels. A narrow dark-brown leather belt with a small antique-gold buckle defines the waist. FULL_BODY_VIEW: Standing upright facing the camera, shoulders relaxed, feet slightly apart and empty hands resting naturally at his sides. His expression carries restrained courtly confidence. Show his entire hat, feather, cape and both boots with comfortable space around the silhouette. CLOSE_UP: Gentle three-quarter turn with eyes toward the camera. His face fills the portrait while the entire oversized hat and feather remain inside the frame. Clearly show facial features, hair texture, velvet collar, ivory shirt and cape clasp. LIGHTING: Large diffused studio key from upper front-left, gentle frontal fill and subtle edge lighting along the hat, shoulder and cape. Softly sculpted facial contours, natural eye catchlights, visible velvet nap and restrained highlights on gold embroidery. Neutral-grey background with soft contact shadows beneath the boots. CONTINUITY: Exactly the same man, facial structure, eye colour, hairstyle, hat, feather, costume, colours and accessories in both photographs.
✍️ Editor’s Notes

Compared to the female version, the prince version drops the IDENTITY section — no @image1 anchoring a reference face — so the character is generated purely from the FACE paragraph's text (face shape, cheekbones, eye colour, the asymmetry in brows and mouth). That's a higher consistency risk, propped up only by the closing CONTINUITY line and heavy repetition of descriptors. The costume is split by dressing order into five layers — HAT/DOUBLET/SHIRT/CAPE/LOWER_COSTUME — each given its own material, colour and hardware detail, reading like a layered spec sheet for a costume designer rather than a single "knight outfit" line; that guards against the model mixing up colours or metal trims across layers. CINEMA_STYLE still anchors the render in photographic realism via "real actor plus handcrafted practical costume" phrasing.
