Complete breakdown

Kumar

A mixed reference-driven workflow that builds one stable model reference, creates selected GPT Image 2 start frames, uses Seedance for the speaking anchor shot, then cuts multiple Kling inserts into the final edit.

This breakdown is built around one main speech clip. First create the model reference image from the standard character reference sheet PDF, then generate only the stills needed for the key inserts, animate the dialogue shot in Seedance 2.0, animate the supporting editorial inserts in Kling 3.0, and assemble the final result around the main speaking timeline.

Breakdown Step

1. Model reference image

Start by turning the base character setup into a cleaner reusable model reference with the standard reference-sheet PDF.

The workflow begins with the usual `character_reference_sheet_prompt.pdf` scaffold, which is used to create the model reference image for the man.

That model reference becomes the identity anchor for the later GPT Image 2 stills, keeping the face, hair, glasses, skin tone, and overall editorial presence stable across the breakdown.

Notes

  • The PDF is treated as the reusable reference-sheet scaffold rather than a separately authored prompt block.

Breakdown Step

2. GPT Image 2 start images

Create only the stills needed to anchor the main speech shot and the supporting editorial inserts before any video generation begins.

Not every clip in the final sequence needs the same kind of setup, but the selected start images lock the exact framing, lighting, silhouette, and styling that the later video clips depend on.

The `cash` and `shoes` shots are supporting inserts rather than full identity portraits, but they still use their own start images so the later motion clips stay controlled and consistent.

Breakdown Step

3. Video generation

Use Seedance 2.0 for the speaking anchor shot, then generate the supporting editorial inserts in Kling 3.0.

The main office clip is the anchor because it contains the dialogue and stays as the base layer of the final timeline.

All supporting inserts were generated separately in Kling 3.0, including the `Portrait 3 Pan` variation, which reuses the `Portrait 3` start image but animates it with a different camera move.

Main

Seedance 2.0 • the locked-off speaking office clip that anchors the final edit.

Main video prompt

Uses the office portrait still for the spoken Seedance 2.0 anchor shot.

Portrait 1

Kling 3.0 • restrained chin-touch silhouette insert.

Portrait 1 video prompt

Animates the standing silhouette still in Kling 3.0.

Portrait 2

Kling 3.0 • slow push-in sofa silhouette insert.

Portrait 2 video prompt

Animates the seated sofa silhouette still in Kling 3.0.

Portrait 3

Kling 3.0 • locked-off extreme close-up silhouette insert.

Portrait 3 video prompt

Animates the close-up silhouette still in Kling 3.0.

Portrait 3 Pan

Kling 3.0 • orbit variation created from the same Portrait 3 start image.

Breakdown Step

4. Final CapCut assembly

Build the final edit around the main Seedance speech clip, then cut the supporting Kling inserts into that base timeline.

The main office speech video is the anchor clip. Everything else is edited into it rather than replacing it.

The final sequence cuts in `Portrait 1`, `Portrait 2`, `Portrait 3`, `Portrait 3 Pan`, `Cash`, and `Shoes` as supporting inserts around the spoken message, keeping the workflow simple and editorial rather than overbuilt.
