First-frame conditioning from an approved still
Feed an approved still as the opening frame and describe the motion rather than the person. Describing the face again inside a video prompt is the single most common way people lose it.
What it is good at
Where it stops
Short clips, and identity drift grows with duration. Cut before the drift rather than trying to prompt it away.
Routes it can take you on

Opening frame: [url of your approved reference frame] Motion: [what moves — keep it small] Camera: slow push in Duration: 8s | Aspect: 9:16
Build your own in the studio and this same block comes back filled with your persona instead — same structure, your locked line, your seed.
