A character brief worth keeping

Copy a practical character reference template with identity, appearance, voice and continuity checks for AI story videos.

Copy this brief into your project notes

Use specific, visible details. “A copper robot with a folded orange scarf” is easier to check than “a memorable and charming robot.” Put emotion and action in scene notes rather than changing the base appearance every time.

Make it usable for the next episode

Keep the reference alongside the brief and record intentional changes. If the character loses a scarf at the end of an episode, say so in the next brief. This template is an original planning resource, not an AI generation or a guarantee of consistency.

You can copy the text or use the storyboard planner to download a longer scene plan. Neither requires an account. The actual creation tools have their own account, provider and plan requirements.

The next scene starts with an idea.
