A single clear face photo is the whole 'shoot'. Front-facing, decent light, no sunglasses.
This is the identity reference every image is built from.
Feed the photo into Nano Banana Pro (image-to-image) and describe your hero scene: "Photorealistic cinematic film still, the EXACT man from the reference photo, standing center frame waist-up in a busy studio, talking straight into the camera mid-sentence, one hand gesturing, 16:9, no text." This one frame becomes your Cinematic strip AND the master for every other style.
Run the base frame back through Nano Banana with a restyle prompt per style (sketch, fantasy 3D, GTA, claymation, anime, LEGO, anything). The magic words: "Keep the EXACT same composition, same man, same pose", that is what makes the strips line up as one synchronized scene.
Send each styled frame to Kling image-to-video (5s is plenty). Same motion prompt for all: talking to camera, gestures, background people moving, camera locked.
Then add a style-lock line so the style does not melt back to photoreal mid-clip.
Stack the clips as horizontal strips on a 1080×1920 canvas (CapCut, Premiere, or ffmpeg) and drop a glowing style label on each strip. Crop each strip slightly above center so heads stay fully in frame.
Done: one reel, five universes, all talking at once.
This guide is the full process. The ready-made version lives inside AI Creative OS on Skool, next to every other prompt pack I post.
