🧠 Step 1: Generate a Story + Characters with ChatGPT

Start by asking ChatGPT to create a short story.
Try this:

“Write a short story about a 7-year-old boy and girl on an adventure.”

ChatGPT will create something like:
Mia and Sam exploring a magical forest.

Then, get it to describe the characters in detail:

“Create detailed characteristics for Mia and Sam so I can generate images later.”

Make sure it includes:

• Age, height, and body type

• Hairstyle and color

• Eye color

• Clothing and accessories

• Personality traits

🗂 Step 2: Store Character Info in Memory

Tell ChatGPT to remember their features during this session:

“Save the characteristics of Mia and Sam in memory to keep image consistency throughout this story.”

Now GPT will keep them visually consistent across all your prompts.

🧑‍🎨 Step 3: Generate Pixar-Style Character Images

Use this prompt for each character:

“Generate a full-body Pixar-style image of Mia using her characteristics.”

Do the same for Sam.

💡 Pro tip: Save these base character images — you’ll use them in every scene.

---

🖼 Step 4: Build Scene-by-Scene Images

Now create 5 scenes for your story:

“Describe five scenes for this short story featuring Mia and Sam.”

Then ask ChatGPT to generate prompts for each scene in Pixar style, 16:9 format:

“Create prompts for Pixar-style horizontal images of Mia and Sam in each scene, using consistent character design.”

Note: Upload the saved images of Mia and Sam when generating each scene to keep them consistent.

🖼 Sample scenes might include:

• Scene 1: Mia and Sam find a magical map

• Scene 2: Walking through a glowing forest with butterflies

• Scene 3: Crossing a river with a rickety bridge

• Scene 4: Solving a puzzle inside a cave

• Scene 5: Discovering a hidden treasure

You’ll get beautiful, consistent illustrations in minutes.

🐉 Step 5: Add New Characters (Like a Pet Dragon)

Want to introduce a third character?

1. Ask ChatGPT:

“Create a Pixar-style dragon, cute and happy.”

2. Generate and save its image

3. Re-upload the images of all three characters

4. Prompt a new scene:

“Create a 16x9 horizontal image of Mia, Sam, and the dragon in an enchanted library full of mysteries.”

✨ Boom — new character, same consistent world.

---

🔄 Step 6: Pose Characters from Different Angles

Need different camera angles for your story?

“Generate Mia in profile view, Pixar-style, same characteristics.”
“Now generate Mia from behind.”

You can even mix and match settings:

“Mia and Sam riding bikes on a busy city street.”
“Mia and Sam at an amusement park.”

The magic? Their clothes, faces, and accessories remain the same — across every scene.

---

💬 Bonus: Bring Them to Life!

Want to animate these characters and add voice sync?

Use a tool like Kling AI to animate the images and Elevenlabs to make the voices.
