STOP-MOTION FANTASY

Even a different medium can feel like her.

Twisted yarn hair, a waxed raincoat and a handmade world. Character becomes craft.

GIVE THEM MORE THAN A FACE

A point of view.
A way of moving.
A world to belong to.

Start with a person you can imagine beyond the frame. Build the references that describe who they are, then decide what changes from one story to the next.

01 / IDENTITY

The details that stay.

Face, hair, distinctive features. Clear front and profile references give the character a consistent foundation.

02 / WARDROBE

A different role to play.

Change a jacket, a silhouette or an entire costume. Save looks in the character’s closet and return to the direction you liked.

03 / REFERENCE PACK

The whole person.

Develop face and body views, then bring the selected references together in a character board for the next scene.

ONE IDENTITY. AN ENTIRE VISUAL LANGUAGE.

Change the medium.
Keep the character.

A face can belong in a photograph, an illustration or an animated world. Explore the possibilities side by side with the original reference.

Editorial

A portrait with presence. Natural features, deliberate styling and photographic detail.

Original AI-generated style studies developed from one reference portrait. References guide continuity; review each result before carrying it into the next scene.

NOW GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO DO

A character becomes
a story in motion.

Take the identity into a campaign, plan a sequence around it, or make the first moving scene. The creative direction can travel with the character.

FROM IDEA TO FINISHED WORK

A place for every creative decision.

  1. 01

    Establish the identity.

    Create a character or add reference photos you have permission to use. Choose images that clearly show the features you want to preserve.

  2. 02

    Explore without losing the person.

    Try a cinematic, illustrated or stylized direction. Compare the result with the reference and refine the details that define the identity.

  3. 03

    Cast the next scene.

    Choose the character and a saved outfit in supported image, video and storyboard workflows. The reference sheet travels with the choice; review each result for continuity.

Can I use my own photos?

Yes. Use photos of yourself or people you have permission to depict. Clear, consistent references give the workflow a stronger starting point.

Will every result match exactly?

Character references help carry identity across scenes, but results vary. Review facial features, wardrobe and other continuity details before selecting the final work.
