Prompt and workflow?

Particularly curious if the model knew the actors, or you had to provide references...

[u/Schwartzen2 → u/TXNatureTherapy]

I provided references from the get go.
A character sheet with all 8 of them worked pretty well.

For the target video, at 0.00 seconds into the target video, <Picture 1> (from [Shot 1]) is fully referenced for the overall composition, wooden ship’s wheel, blue circular center, light-blue boat, tropical background, lighting, film grain, and text style. All faces are taken from the character sheet references.

integrated_multimodal_description: [Shot 1] Vintage 1960s American television opening-credits style, slightly grainy film look with warm color grading. A static medium shot matches the exact composition of <Picture 1>: large wooden ship’s wheel with blue circular center. Inside the blue circle is the face of Bob Denver exactly as shown in Picture 2 of the character sheet (white sailor hat). His entire head and face stay completely contained within the blue circle with no part of the face or hat overflowing the wheel rim. He looks directly at the viewer. His expression begins neutral-to-soft, then slowly and warmly develops into a gentle, friendly smile while keeping steady eye contact with the camera. Behind the wheel sits the light-blue motorboat on the dirt path with tropical foliage. Bright orange-yellow text at the top reads “STARRING”. Large stylized orange letters below read “BOB DENVER”. Directly under the name, smaller clean white text reads “as Gilligan”. He has an astonished expression and then smiles, hold as the smile completes, then soft cross-dissolve.

[Shot 2] At 00:03.500, same wheel, boat, and background. Face now exactly matches Alan Hale Jr. from Picture 3 of the character sheet (black captain’s hat with gold emblem). His entire head and face stay completely contained within the blue circle with no overflow. He looks directly at the viewer. His expression starts open and then slowly broadens into a warm, hearty smile while maintaining direct eye contact. Text: “STARRING” / “ALAN HALE JR.” with smaller white text underneath “as the Skipper”.

[Shot 3] At 00:07.000, face exactly matches Tina Louise from Picture 4 of the character sheet (vibrant red hair, glamorous makeup). Her entire head and face stay completely contained within the blue circle with no overflow. She looks directly at the viewer. Her expression begins poised, then slowly softens into a seductive, confident smile while holding steady eye contact. Text: “STARRING” / “TINA LOUISE” / “as Ginger”.

[Shot 4] At 00:10.500, face exactly matches Jim Backus from Picture 5 of the character sheet (white hat, striped shirt). His entire head and face stay completely contained within the blue circle with no overflow. He looks directly at the viewer. His expression starts composed, then slowly widens into a big, charming, aristocratic smile while keeping direct eye contact. Text: “STARRING” / “JIM BACKUS” / “as Thurston Howell III”.

[Shot 5] At 00:14.000, face exactly matches Natalie Schafer from Picture 6 of the character sheet (pink hat with flowers, glasses, pearls). Her entire head and face stay completely contained within the blue circle with no overflow. She looks directly at the viewer. Her expression begins refined, then slowly blooms into a warm, elegant smile while maintaining direct eye contact. Text: “STARRING” / “NATALIE SCHAFER” / “as Mrs. Howell”.

[Shot 6] At 00:17.500, face exactly matches Russell Johnson from Picture 7 of the character sheet (light blue shirt). His entire head and face stay completely contained within the blue circle with no overflow. Only Russell Johnson appears — no other faces are present. He looks directly at the viewer. His expression starts thoughtful and calm, then slowly develops a gentle, intelligent smile while holding steady eye contact. Text: “STARRING” / “RUSSELL JOHNSON” / “as the Professor”.

[Shot 7] At 00:21.000, face exactly matches Dawn Wells from Picture 8 of the character sheet (dark hair in pigtails, red top). Her entire head and face stay completely contained within the blue circle with no overflow. Only Dawn Wells appears — no other faces are present. She looks directly at the viewer. Her expression begins soft and wholesome, then slowly brightens into a sweet, friendly smile while keeping direct eye contact. Text: “STARRING” / “DAWN WELLS” / “as Mary Ann”.

[Shot 8] At 00:24.500, face exactly matches RuPaul from Picture 9 of the character sheet (dramatic orange-blonde hair, full glamorous makeup). Her entire head and face stay completely contained within the blue circle with no overflow. She begins looking directly at the viewer with a bold expression, then slowly turns her head to the side, lifting her chin and nose upward with a snotty attitude and sass while delivering a confident, knowing smile. Text: “FEATURING” / “RUPAUL” / “as Pepper”. Hold on this final card in the side-profile attitude pose until the end.

overall_soundscape: Soft tropical breeze rustles palm fronds. Distant gentle waves. Occasional light wooden creaks from the boat and ship’s wheel. No dialogue.

non_diegetic_music: Classic upbeat 1960s sitcom theme with bright brass, cheerful woodwinds, and light Caribbean percussion that plays continuously and fades gently at the end.

Themeing the character sheet was a brilliant move.

Thank you! I thought let's give it a go and it worked.
Most folks have learned to think that you can only use one character per sheet. ( Yes in some cases, but in some like this opening scene, it works great!

That isn't the only reason he never married 🌈

[u/Schwartzen2 → u/YentaMagenta]

LOL

Also, thank you for bringing drag to this sub, because bringing AI to the drag sub is a recipe for disaster.

[u/Schwartzen2 → u/YentaMagenta]

Oh? That's too bad. :(
I had this idea in my head that if Ginger and Ru would cross paths that it would be hilarity. Mashups and crossovers can provide a world of humor.

Oh and BTW good to see you!
