Step 1 โ Make your character sheet ๐ง
Go to Create, then Image. Upload a clear, front-facing photo of yourself and paste the prompt below. You want four views on one image: front, side, back and a face close-up. This one sheet keeps your face and outfit the same in every shot.
Character reference sheet of the person in the uploaded photo,same face, hair and glasses (if any), dressed as an ancientEgyptian pharaoh: striped blue-and-gold nemes headdress, broadgold and blue Egyptian collar, white linen robe with a goldbelt, gold arm cuffs. Their upper canine teeth are slightlylonger than normal, their own natural teeth in the sameoff-white colour as the rest, realistic, not plastic. Calm,deadpan expression.Layout: four views on one image: full-body front, full-bodyside, full-body back, and one close-up of the face. Plain warmsandstone-beige background, soft even daylight. Realisticphotographic look, warm golden-sepia colour, shallow depth offield, light film grain. Same face, glasses and outfit in everyview. No text, no logos, no gods.
Steps 2 + 3 โ Add it, then paste one prompt ๐ฌ
Go to Video, add your character sheet as the reference, turn Reference on and MultiShot on, and set 9:16 and 15 seconds. Then paste the prompt below. Button names can look a little different in your app.
@image1 Using the reference image for the person's face andoutfit: keep every outfit detail identical, including glasses.9:16, 15 seconds, five shots with hard cuts between them.Found-footage style, filmed on a MiniDV camcorder from 2002,shaky handheld throughout, never smooth, no gimbal. Halloweenin ancient Egypt, and everyone treats it as completely normal.The person from @image1 is always dressed as a pharaoh in ablue-and-gold striped nemes headdress, wide gold collar, loosewhite linen robe and gold belt, deadpan. Their upper canineteeth are slightly longer and pointier than normal, only a fewmillimetres, their own natural teeth in the same off-whiteenamel colour as the others, slightly uneven, realistic, notbright white, no plastic look, no cartoon fangs. Their friendsare a mummy in bandages, a vampire count in a black cape witha high collar, and a witch in a pointed hat.Shot 1 (0-3s): in a sunlit ancient Egyptian stone tomb, twoattendants in white linen kilts pull open an upright sarcophagusmounted on the wall. Inside, the pharaoh stands holding aglowing carved Halloween pumpkin, studies it, then steps out.Dust in a shaft of daylight, slow handheld push-in.Shot 2 (3-6s): bright golden daylight in a dry desert templecourtyard with sand dunes, a sandstone temple wall and a tallhieroglyph-carved sandstone pillar in the right foreground.Wide, the pharaoh stands by the pillar talking on a plain blackunbranded modern smartphone. A fast hard zoom to ahead-and-shoulders close-up. They look at the camera, pull thecorner of the upper lip back with one finger to show onecanine, grin and wink.Shot 3 (6-9s): a busy mud-brick market street in goldenbacklit daylight decorated for Halloween with glowing pumpkins,papyrus bats, ghosts and orange lanterns. Mummies and villagersshop and never look up. The pharaoh rides in on a plaingrey-and-black unbranded dirt bike, skids to a stop in a cloudof dust at a pumpkin stall, points at the biggest pumpkin andholds up one finger. The mummy vendor hands it over withoutlooking up.Shot 4 (9-12s): a sunlit stonemason's yard with half-carvedhieroglyph slabs, a rope-and-pulley hoist and stone dust in sunshafts. The pharaoh and friends carve giant pumpkins withstone chisels and mallets. The mummy's bandage catches on achisel and he calmly unwinds it. Camera drifts in, handheld.Shot 5 (12-15s): evening at the end of golden hour in a narrowmud-brick village lane, low orange sun, lanterns and pumpkinsglowing against the dusk. The group walks to a door chatting.The pharaoh knocks twice, a villager opens it deadpan and dropssweets into their small hollowed-pumpkin baskets. A smallsatisfied nod, and they walk on.Look: shot on a 2002 MiniDV camcorder with a vintage lens,transferred from tape to standard definition. Soft 480-lineresolution, visible tape noise and heavy film-like grain,blocky DV compression, glowing blown-out highlights, milkylifted blacks, faded warm sepia-gold cast, low contrast, dustyhaze, slightly smudged lens, heavy motion blur on fast moves.Dust drifts through the air. Autofocus hunts, exposureflickers, warm light leaks. No sharpening, no text, no logos,no watermark. No brands anywhere.Sound: low stone scrape, desert wind, a faint phone murmur,engine rev and dust skid, chisels tapping, soft friendlychatter, sweets rattling, faint drums.
If something looks off ๐ง
- Teeth look fake? Edit only the teeth line in the prompt. Ask for natural, slightly longer canines in the same colour as the other teeth, then run it again.
- Face drifting? Use a clear, front-facing photo for the sheet, and keep the same sheet as the only reference.
- Too busy? Delete shot 4 and spread the other four shots over 15 seconds.
- Keep it brand free. Leave out real logos, brands and gods, and keep any props unbranded.
- Keep the camera look. The shaky handheld, soft tape-style look and the dust are what make it feel like real found footage.
