AI-Assisted Character Cinematic Production
Keys Lee
Published
This project explores a controlled AI-assisted workflow for producing stylised character cinematics and short-form video.
Rather than relying only on text prompts, I developed character reference boards using ChatGPT image generation, then used Blender to establish character proportions, staging, camera direction, environment scale, and shot-specific pose references. These 3D-guided materials were used to improve consistency before generating and refining the final video sequence in Seedance 2.0.
The goal was to maintain a coherent character identity, costume language, pose, lighting direction, spatial relationship, and cinematic tone across multiple shots. The attached published short film demonstrates the final result of this workflow.
Production Pipeline
• Character reference development and visual direction
• AI-generated character reference boards using ChatGPT
• Blender-based character placement, posing, camera blocking, and environment reference
• Shot planning and prompt design for Seedance 2.0
• AI video generation, iteration, selection, and visual consistency review
• Final short-form cinematic editing and presentation
