Nominal turn order: front, left-facing profile, rear, right-facing profile, front. At 090 degrees the nose points image left; at 270 degrees it points image right. Left and right describe image-facing direction, not measured anatomical sides.
Nominal 45-degree directions. 000°, 090° and 180° are 4x restorations of the owner-supplied turnaround; the other five are generated interpretations at 4K, not measurements. Target pitch 0° and roll 0°. 000°, 090° and 180° are restored crops of the owner-supplied turnaround. 045°, 135°, 225°, 270° and 315° are generated interpretations at 4K; the supplied views win on any conflict.
Attach the face anchor and the nearest matching angle. A back view establishes the rear silhouette, not unseen facial details.
Closer reference
The headshot is the face authority. Generated turns and expressions are interpretations that must match it. A speaking still is not a lip-sync model.
What stays fixed
Preserve his face and body. Change the scene and wardrobe around them.
| Feature | Keep consistent |
|---|---|
| Face | Broad oval face, full cheeks, beard-defined jawline and rounded chin; retain source proportions and natural asymmetry. |
| Eyes | Dark brown eyes as rendered in the source; retain spacing, eyelid shape and outer-corner shape behind the lenses. |
| Brows | Medium-thick, dark-brown, gently arched brows; retain thickness, length and placement above the frames. |
| Nose | Straight bridge of medium width with a rounded tip; defer to source proportions. |
| Mouth | Medium-width mouth, mustache over the upper lip, fuller lower lip; relaxed closed-lip half smile as the neutral. |
| Facial hair | Full, neatly trimmed dark-brown beard and mustache with a crisp cheek line; narrow soul patch joining the chin beard, with clean-shaven gaps below each mouth corner. Keep length, density and shape. |
| Hair | Dark-brown hair combed straight back with height and natural sheen on top, shorter tapered sides and natural temple recession; retain hairline and volume. |
| Eyewear | Rectangular full-rim glasses, dark tortoise frames with clear lenses; keep in every shot unless a shot brief removes them. |
| Skin | Light warm skin tone as rendered in the source, with natural texture; source lighting is not calibrated skin color. |
| Body | Preserve the turnaround's broad shoulders, chest and midsection volume, torso length, arm and leg lengths and natural posture. Do not slim, bulk up or lengthen the body. |
| Reference outfit | Charcoal two-button suit, white open-collar dress shirt with no tie, white folded pocket square, black belt, black cap-toe oxford shoes and a wristwatch on the left wrist. |
The restored front headshot governs the face, beard, hairline and eyewear. The restored owner turnaround governs body proportions and the reference outfit. Both are identity-faithful restorations (face creativity 0) of the owner photos, which stay preserved as the originals; on any conflict the original photos win. Generated angles extend these references and never override them.
Unspecified: height, exact body measurements, ethnicity, age, unseen distinguishing marks. Apparent age follows the source photos and is never changed.
Skin color is described as rendered in the source. The reference lighting is not a calibrated color measurement.

Build and review the scene first frame with the identity prompt. For image-to-video, describe movement around that accepted frame.
Show Darren, real-person model 003, likeness used with consent. Use the attached restored front headshot anchor (darren-face-000-v003) and the nearest v0.3.0 full-body reference. Preserve his facial proportions, dark brown eyes, gently arched dark-brown brows, straight nose with rounded tip, full trimmed dark-brown beard and mustache with the narrow soul patch and clean gaps below the mouth corners, slicked-back dark-brown hair and hairline, rectangular dark tortoise full-rim glasses, light warm skin and natural texture. Preserve shoulder width, chest and midsection volume, torso length, limb lengths and natural asymmetry. Reference wardrobe: charcoal two-button suit, white open-collar shirt, white pocket square, black belt, black cap-toe oxfords, wristwatch on the left wrist. Height: not specified; never claim a measured height. Scene: {scene}. Wardrobe: {wardrobe}. Expression: {expression}. Camera: {camera}. Lighting: {lighting}. Produce one stable scene first frame. Do not reshape the body beneath the clothes. Hidden geometry is interpreted, not measured.
Animate the attached accepted scene first frame. Action: {one_simple_action}. Camera: {camera_motion_or_locked}. Duration: {seconds}. Keep his existing face, beard, glasses, body proportions, outfit, hair, lighting, scene and ground contact stable throughout. Use natural movement and continuous anatomy. Do not add scene changes, new people or wardrobe changes. Dialogue, only a script Darren has approved: {approved_dialogue_or_none}. Preserve lip sync when audio is enabled. Avoid flicker, face drift, beard drift, warped frames or lens glare changes, body drift, floating heels, extra fingers and sliding feet.
Avoid: identity changes, beard reshaping, thinning or removal, changed soul patch or beard gaps, glasses removed or restyled unless briefed, warped frames or lens distortion of the eyes, shifted hairline or changed hair volume, younger, older or thinner face, changed skin tone, new facial marks, plastic skin, mirrored asymmetric features, facial warping, frame-to-frame flicker, body slimming, bulking or lengthening, wardrobe drift in reference shots.
Attach the face anchor. Add the nearest full-body angle.
Compare face, beard, glasses and body in the first frame before generating the full shot.
Check turns, walking, speech and the final frame. Reject face or body drift.
Record the reference files, prompt, generator version, settings and seed when available. A matching seed alone does not guarantee identity. Regenerate drifting outputs from the anchors.

Ready to reuse
Keep the history
Quality rebuild to the model 001 standard, at the owner's request (the v0.2 references were soft because the owner photos were small and heavily compressed). Restored both owner photos with fal Topaz (identity-faithful, face creativity 0) and regenerated all five body angles, four face turns and three expressions at 4K on Nano Banana Pro. Added a 360° sheet, two scene first frames (floor, chair), four Kling 3.0 pro motion baselines (turn, walk, sit, talk) and an audio-driven voice proof (Sync Lipsync 2 Pro on the approved S12 line), with a QA report and planning helper. v0.1 and v0.2 files stay preserved. Darren's review of v0.3.0 is pending.
Darren approved the ElevenLabs Darren voice and his lines in the FedM8 promo (relayed by the owner). Used in the FedM8 promo v1.
Production voice set to the owner's ElevenLabs voice named Darren (designed, not a clone of him) with a sample. Darren's approval of the voice pending.
Added five generated body angles (045°, 135°, 225°, 270°, 315°), four face turns and three expressions from the v0.1.0 anchors (fal nano-banana-2.1 edit, 13 jobs, 1 rejected). Lead review done; Darren's approval pending. Voice still pending.
Established the identity from two owner-supplied images: front headshot as face anchor and a three-view turnaround as body anchor (000°, 090°, 180°). Identity rules, consent and use rules, still and motion prompts. Five angles, face turns, expressions and voice pending.
Preserved for history. The owner photos stay the originals behind every restored anchor. Use the v0.3.0 references for new work.
