01 / WHAT YOU'LL BUILD

One character.
From a photo to a reel.

Create a realistic AI avatar, then take it through scenes, dialogue and the final edit. Use the same character references throughout the process.

02 / THE PROCESS

Seven steps.
Follow the whole process.

STEP 01 / 07 · Reference photo

Start from a reference photo.

Start with a real reference photo. Change the hair, eyes, eyebrows and face shape so your avatar becomes a new character, rather than an identical copy of the person in the photo.

STEP 02 / 07 · ChatGPT

Create the face.

Upload a reference photo for the composition, then use the first prompt to create a different face. Refine the result with the second prompt. Keep this image as your character reference.

Character reference · Before building the final scenes
Create a new faceChatGPT · English

EXACT ORIGINAL · ENGLISH
Use the attached reference image ONLY for camera angle, framing, pose and composition. Do NOT copy the person's face or identity: the woman must be a completely different, new person.

Photo of a stunning young woman, mid-20s, taking a high-angle front-camera selfie from above, holding the phone with one arm out of frame, looking straight up into the lens. Extreme close-up: her face fills most of the frame, head slightly tilted, shoulders and upper chest visible at the bottom. The camera is above her at roughly 24mm equivalent, with the slight wide-angle distortion of a real phone selfie camera: forehead and face closest to the lens, body shrinking toward the bottom.

Same composition as the reference: she stands on a moving escalator, the metal steps and black handrail fade into the lower and right background, a blurred person behind her in the top right, a dark textured wall on the left.

New woman: striking, naturally attractive, symmetrical features, high cheekbones, defined jaw, clear skin with visible natural texture and pores, subtle freckles, light natural makeup (soft blush, long lashes, glossy neutral lips). Brown hair, a different hairstyle and color shade from the reference (for example warm chestnut with loose center-part waves), green-hazel eyes, intense eye contact with the lens. Neutral, relaxed expression, lips slightly closed.

Outfit: simple fitted off-white tank top, thin black bag strap on her shoulder. No logos, no text.

Lighting: soft mall/indoor overhead light mixed with a little window daylight, no studio look. Natural skin tones, slight phone-camera sharpening, mild grain.

Style: authentic candid iPhone selfie, photorealistic, unretouched, vertical 4:5 (or 9:16), no filters, no beauty-app smoothing.

Negative: no copy of the reference face, no plastic skin, no extra fingers, no distorted hands, no watermark, no text, no logos, no cartoon or illustration look.

Refine the imageChatGPT · English

EXACT ORIGINAL · ENGLISH
Edit the attached image: keep the SAME woman, same face, same eye color and shape, same freckles, same brown hair with warm highlights, same off-white tank top and black bag strap, same high-angle front-camera selfie framing and same expression (intense, serious, slightly irritated gaze into the lens). Do not change her identity.

Enhance realism and quality only:
- Keep the horizontal 4:3 frame (1440x1080), face centered, extreme close-up high-angle selfie perspective (about 24mm front camera, slight wide-angle distortion).
- Correct the skin tone: remove the orange/over-saturated cast, make it a natural neutral-warm light skin tone with subtle variation (slightly pinker cheeks, cooler shadows under the eyes). Keep visible pores, fine vellus hair, freckles and tiny natural imperfections. No smoothing, no beauty filter.
- Make the lips more natural: slight vertical lip lines, uneven texture, soft natural color with a very light gloss, no perfect symmetry.
- Soften the eyelashes so they look natural (no clumped or hard edges), keep the realistic catchlights in both eyes.
- Fine flyaway hair strands against the background, realistic hair edges, no halo.
- Background: remove the second person's arm in the top left. Keep a plausible, softly blurred out-of-focus environment (shallow depth of field, natural phone portrait blur).
- Lighting: natural soft daylight, gentle contrast, realistic shadow falloff under the chin and neck, no studio look.
- Camera look: authentic iPhone front camera photo, mild sensor noise, slight softness at the edges, natural dynamic range, no HDR halos, no over-sharpening.

Negative: no plastic or waxy skin, no airbrushing, no orange tint, no extra fingers or limbs, no distorted anatomy, no text, no logos, no watermark, no illustration or cartoon look, no change of identity.

STEP 03 / 07 · ChatGPT · Image references

Lock the character.

Reuse the same character image when moving into a new scene. Check the face, eyes and hair against that reference before making a clip. The clip prompts below contain a CHARACTER LOCK section for each scene; each scene keeps its own outfit.

STEP 04 / 07 · ChatGPT

Build the start frames.

These are the three start frames used for the final clips. Upload both the character image and a scene reference in the order described below. The short Spanish prompts are the exact originals; they are not translations or rewritten templates.

EXACT ORIGINAL · ENGLISH
REFERENCES
@Image1 (IMG_Clip_1.3.png) = START FRAME and character reference. The video begins exactly on this frame: the same woman lying on her stomach on a bed, propped on her forearms with her upper body slightly raised, wearing a light grey knit sweater, hydrogel under-eye patches (translucent lilac with small white floral motifs), thin gold necklaces with a small gold monogram pendant, long wavy chestnut-brown hair with warm highlights, olive-green eyes, freckles. White bedding, a striped pillow, an ornate tapestry-style headboard on the right, a paneled door and slanted ceiling behind her. No end frame: the clip ends wherever the action naturally lands.

CHARACTER LOCK
The same woman as @Image1 throughout, mid-20s. Identity must not drift: no face morphing, no change of eye color, hair color, necklaces or sweater. The under-eye patches stay in place, undeformed and unpeeled for the entire clip, even when she moves her hair. No new accessories appear.

VOICE
American English, female, mid-20s, slightly low, relaxed, a little dry and amused. Casual, deadpan, like talking to a friend on a lazy day, genuinely incredulous. Natural, continuous pace. The voice starts at the very first frame of the clip, with no initial silence. Not a commercial voice, not theatrical. Close-mic phone quality with slight room tone. Lips sync exactly to the words.

SETTING
Her bedroom in soft natural daylight: cozy, lived-in, unmade white bed, striped pillow, warm neutral walls. Quiet and private. No other people.

FORMAT
Duration 5 seconds. Aspect ratio 4:3 (1440x1080). One continuous shot, no cuts. Natural motion, 24 fps.

SHOT BREAKDOWN
Handheld phone selfie at low bed level, camera looking slightly up at her, same framing as @Image1 at the start. She speaks while she moves: all the physical actions below happen WHILE she is talking. There is motion and speech from the very first frame.

0.0-0.4 s: She lets her whole body drop forward and straight down onto the bed, a relaxed collapse: forearms slide forward, chest and shoulders sink into the white bedding with a soft thump. As she drops, a few strands of her hair fall across her forehead and one cheek (never covering her mouth). The camera gives a small natural bounce and ends lower and closer to her face (framing tightens about 15%). She is already talking, casual and a bit tired: "Okay," said mid-drop, eyes on the lens.

0.4-1.9 s: While continuing to speak, she lifts one hand, brushes the strands off her face and tucks them behind her ear in one quick natural gesture, eyes on the lens the whole time. She says, relaxed and incredulous: "it still blows my mind". Stress on "blows my mind". Eyebrows rise above the patches, eyes widen a little. Her hand returns to the bed as the line ends.

1.9-2.1 s: Very short beat of silence. A small slow head shake of disbelief, eyebrows still raised.

2.1-3.7 s: She says, slower and deadpan: "that nobody can tell I'm AI." Stress on "nobody" and on "I'm AI". On "I'm AI" she lifts one hand from the bed, points a finger at herself, then lets it drop back down.

3.7-5.0 s: She stops talking, tilts her head and rests her cheek on her forearm/pillow, lying a little more, holds a calm direct stare into the lens, one slow blink, a faint knowing half-smile. Her face stays close to the camera.

CAMERA
Handheld front phone camera at bed level, about 24mm equivalent with slight natural wide-angle distortion. A natural bounce and downward move at 0.0-0.4 s from the drop, then gentle handheld sway and breathing movement with a slow push-in of 5-8% for the rest of the clip. Shallow natural phone depth of field: her face sharp, room softly blurred. No whip pans, no cuts, no sudden zooms.

LIGHT AND LOOK
Soft natural daylight from the left, gentle falloff, neutral warm tones, realistic and stable catchlights in both eyes. Authentic iPhone front-camera video look: mild sensor noise, slight softness at the edges, natural dynamic range, no HDR halos, no over-sharpening.

AUDIO
Her voice is present from 0.0 s, close and clear, over a soft thump and rustle of bedding and knit fabric as she drops and a faint brush of hair as she tucks it. Soft room tone. No music, no sound effects, no voiceover.

GLOBAL REALISM
Visible pores, fine facial hair, natural freckles, real eye moisture, natural blinks every 2-4 seconds, subtle cheek and jaw movement when talking, soft breathing in the shoulders. Individual hair strands fall, slide and tuck behind the ear naturally, with no clipping through the face or patches. The hydrogel patches look glossy and realistic, adhered to her skin. Looks like a real phone video recorded on a bed, not a rendered avatar.

NEGATIVE
No silent start, no static start, no frozen pose, no face morphing or identity drift, no changing hair color, necklaces or sweater, no hair covering the mouth while she speaks, no hair merging into the face, no peeling, sliding or disappearing patches, no plastic or waxy skin, no beauty filter, no exaggerated mouth movements, no lip-sync mismatch, no extra fingers, no distorted hand when tucking hair or pointing, no phone visible in frame, no text, no subtitles, no watermark, no logos, no cuts, no cartoon or illustration look, no second person.

REFERENCES
@Image1 (IMG_clip_2.jpg) = START FRAME and character reference. The video begins exactly on this frame: same woman, same face, same olive-green eyes, same freckles, same long dark-brown hair resting loose on the pillow, same gold ear cuffs and small hoop on the visible ear, same dark red nail polish, same off-white ribbed tank top, same white bouclé bedding. No end frame: the clip ends wherever the action naturally lands.

CHARACTER LOCK
The same woman as @Image1 throughout, mid-20s, olive-green eyes, light natural freckles, natural skin with visible pores, no makeup look. Identity must not drift: no face morphing, no change of eye color, no change of hair, jewelry, nails or outfit.

VOICE
American English, female, mid-20s, slightly low, calm and dry, intimate and unforced, as if talking to a friend lying in bed. Close-mic phone quality. NOT a whisper, NOT a commercial voice: relaxed, confident, matter-of-fact. She speaks directly to camera, lips sync exactly to the words.

SETTING
She is lying on her side on a bed with white bouclé bedding, her head on a pillow, in soft indoor daylight. One arm is bent with her hand resting under her chin and fingertips near her lips, as in @Image1. Quiet, private, cozy atmosphere. No other people.

FORMAT
Duration 4 seconds. Aspect ratio 4:3 (1440x1080). One continuous shot, no cuts. Natural motion, 24 fps.

SHOT BREAKDOWN
Handheld selfie from slightly above and to the side, extreme close-up on her face, same crop as @Image1. She is not frozen: breathing, small head shifts, natural micro-movements throughout.

0.0-0.5 s: Silent. She holds eye contact with the lens. Her hand slowly slides down from her lips to rest on her collarbone, fully clearing her mouth before she speaks. Calm blink, soft exhale.

0.5-1.9 s: She says, calm and firm, lower voice: "And this isn't a trick anymore." Slight stress on "trick", with one small slow head shake (a "no") on that word. Brows relax then lower slightly, steady stare. The camera starts a slow push-in.

1.9-2.1 s: Short beat of silence, lips close, eyes stay on the lens.

2.1-3.7 s: She says, with quiet confidence: "Brands already work with creators like me." Stress on "Brands" and on "like me". On "me" her left eyebrow lifts slightly and the corner of her mouth tightens in a barely-there knowing look (not a smile). Head tilts a few degrees toward the pillow.

3.7-4.0 s: She stops talking, lips closed, calm direct stare, small slow blink. Face remains in the same close-up framing.

CAMERA
Handheld front phone camera, about 24mm equivalent, slight natural wide-angle distortion. Gentle breathing sway of the phone, very slow push-in of 5-8% across the whole clip, tiny drift to the right at the end. Shallow natural phone depth of field: face sharp, bedding soft. No whip pans, no cuts, no sudden zooms.

LIGHT AND LOOK
Soft window daylight from the front-left, gentle falloff on the right side of the face, warm neutral tones, realistic and stable catchlights in both eyes. Authentic iPhone front-camera video look: mild sensor noise, slight softness at the edges, natural dynamic range, no HDR halos, no over-sharpening.

AUDIO
Her voice is the main sound, close and clear. Very soft room tone and a faint fabric rustle as she moves. No music, no sound effects, no voiceover.

GLOBAL REALISM
Visible pores, fine facial hair, natural freckles, real eye moisture, natural blinks every 2-4 seconds, subtle cheek and jaw movement when talking, soft breathing movement in the shoulders and chest. Hair strands rest and shift naturally on the pillow. The result must look like a real selfie video recorded on a phone in bed, not a rendered avatar.

NEGATIVE
No face morphing or identity drift, no changing hair, earrings, nails or top, no plastic or waxy skin, no beauty filter, no big smile, no exaggerated mouth movements, no lip-sync mismatch, no hand covering the mouth while speaking, no extra fingers, no distorted hand, no phone visible in frame, no text, no subtitles, no watermark, no logos, no cuts, no cartoon or illustration look, no second person.

REFERENCES
@Image1 (IMG_CLIP_34.jpg) = START FRAME and character reference. The video begins exactly on this frame: a mirror selfie of the same woman holding a white iPhone in her right hand, left hand resting in her hair, wearing a dark grey fleece bathrobe, loose wavy light-brown hair with lighter highlights, light green-grey eyes, freckles, soft pink-beige nails, a bed with white bedding visible in the mirror behind her. No end frame: the clip ends wherever the action naturally lands.

CHARACTER LOCK
The same woman as @Image1 throughout, mid-20s, light green-grey eyes, natural freckles, natural skin with visible pores, loose wavy hair, grey fleece robe. Identity must not drift: no face morphing, no change of eye color, hair, nails or clothing. The white phone stays visible in her right hand and keeps its shape (white case, dual camera, Apple logo), no melting or warping.

VOICE
American English, female, mid-20s, slightly low, calm and dry. Intimate, steady, quietly unsettling, like someone telling you a fact. Brisk, efficient pace with no filler. Not a whisper, not theatrical, not a commercial voice. Close-mic phone quality with a very slight indoor room tone. Lips sync exactly to the words.

SETTING
Her bedroom, filmed as a mirror selfie: she faces a mirror, soft indoor light, neutral grey-beige walls, a curtain on the left edge, white bedding behind her. Quiet and private. No other people.

FORMAT
Duration 4 seconds. Aspect ratio 4:3 (1440x1080). One continuous shot, no cuts. Natural motion, 24 fps.

SHOT BREAKDOWN
Same framing as @Image1: waist-up to face, mirror selfie, her gaze on her own reflection (which reads as looking into the lens). She is not frozen: breathing, tiny head shifts, natural blinks.

0.0-0.2 s: Direct eye contact, jaw slightly set. The hand in her hair starts sliding down as she takes a short breath and starts speaking almost immediately.

0.2-2.2 s: She says, calm and certain, at a brisk pace: "In six months, you'll be following someone like me." Stress on "six months" and on "like me". On "like me" her chin lifts a few degrees and her gaze sharpens. Slow push-in begins.

2.2-2.5 s: Very short beat of silence. She does not move, lips closed, eyes fixed.

2.5-3.5 s: She says, slower and lower: "And you won't know." Stress on "won't", with one small slow head shake (a "no"). Serious expression, slight tightening at the corner of the mouth, no smile.

3.5-4.0 s: She stops talking, holds a steady stare, lips closed, one slow blink. Framing stays the same.

CAMERA
Handheld, the iPhone in her right hand is the camera: tiny natural sway from her arm, breathing movement, slow push-in of 5-8% across the whole clip, almost still during the short pause at 2.2-2.5 s. About 24mm equivalent look. Face and phone sharp, background soft. No whip pans, no cuts, no sudden zooms.

LIGHT AND LOOK
Soft indoor ambient light, slightly cool neutral tones, realistic and stable catchlights in both eyes, gentle shadows on the right side of her face. Authentic iPhone video look: mild sensor noise, slight softness at the edges, natural dynamic range, no HDR halos.

AUDIO
Her voice is the main sound, close and clear. Very soft room tone, tiny fabric rustle of the fleece. No music, no sound effects, no voiceover.

GLOBAL REALISM
Visible pores, fine facial hair, natural freckles, real eye moisture, natural blinks every 2-4 seconds, subtle cheek and jaw movement when talking, soft breathing in the shoulders. Fleece fabric texture stays consistent. Fingers hold the phone naturally, correct number of fingers. Looks like a real mirror selfie video, not a rendered avatar.

NEGATIVE
No face morphing or identity drift, no changing hair, nails or robe, no plastic or waxy skin, no beauty filter, no smile, no exaggerated mouth movements, no lip-sync mismatch, no extra fingers, no warped or melting phone, no reflection glitches, no second person, no text, no subtitles, no watermark, no logos, no cuts, no cartoon or illustration look.

1.8-2.0 s: Minimal beat. Stillness, steady stare.

This first pass requested text. The next prompt removes it before the final typography is added in the edit.

EXACT ORIGINAL · ENGLISH
Use the attached image as the identity and scene reference: the SAME woman, same face, same olive-green eyes, same freckles, same long wavy chestnut-brown hair with warm highlights, same hydrogel under-eye patches (translucent lilac with small white floral motifs), same thin gold necklaces with the small gold monogram pendant, same light grey knit sweater, same white bedding and striped pillow. Do not change her identity.

Create a vertical 9:16 cover image (1080x1920) for a social media reel. Composition: a close-up selfie-style portrait taken at low bed level, camera slightly below her face looking up, wide-angle phone look (about 24mm equivalent). She lies on the bed propped on her forearms, face and upper chest filling the frame, centered in the middle third of the image. Expression: deadpan, calm, direct stare into the lens, lips closed, one eyebrow very slightly raised, a faint knowing look. Hair falls naturally, one strand lightly across her cheek.

Background: the same cozy bedroom, soft out-of-focus, white bedding, striped pillow, ornate tapestry headboard partially visible at the edge, warm neutral walls, soft natural daylight from the left. Leave a bit of calm space below her chin for text.

Text overlay, placed in the lower third but within the central safe area (about 150 px margin from the left and right edges and at least 300 px from the bottom): three lines of bold serif text in cream (#F4EBDD), Georgia Bold style, left-aligned or centered, large and highly legible with a subtle soft shadow:
"NOBODY CAN TELL"
"I'M AI"
The words "I'M AI" are noticeably larger than the first line. No other text, no logos, no watermark, no emojis.

Look: authentic iPhone front-camera photo, natural skin with visible pores and freckles, no beauty filter, no plastic skin, mild grain, realistic color, natural contrast, shallow depth of field. Photorealistic.

Negative: no identity change, no extra fingers, no distorted hands, no misspelled text, no extra text, no logos, no watermark, no cartoon or illustration look, no orange skin cast, no second person.
