Adil makes the hero of the course's commercial in Soul Cinema from a Claude-written character-sheet prompt (close-up and full body on a gray background), runs many cheap batches, keeps two faces to test in motion and lays the candidates out on his Canvas.

Threads in this video

• restate · Which image model should be used for keyframes, edits, text and outfits? — For the hero of the commercial Adil uses Soul Cinema, which he calls the best model for photorealistic looks. (00:00:00)
• refine · How do you keep a character the same across shots? — Adil says the close-up panel of a character sheet gives the model the exact face and the full-body panel the height and build: one clean reference for who the character is from the start. (00:00:00)
• restate · How do you keep a character the same across shots? — Adil says a gray background is very important for character sheets: the win rate is much higher because no background clutter competes with the character, so more generations come back usable. (00:00:29)
• restate · What does an AI clip, shot or film cost? — Adil says eight images cost only one credit in Soul Cinema, so he runs a lot of batches of the hero and scrolls until a face stops him. (00:00:29)
