How one creator solved AI's biggest creative problem using an unexpected workflow that turns inconsistent character generation into a predictable asset pipeline.


Most AI image tools fail spectacularly at one basic task: making the same character look identical across multiple images. Ask any teacher trying to create consistent educational materials, or any marketing team attempting to build a visual brand with AI - they'll tell you about hours wasted re-generating the same character dozens of times, hoping for consistency that never comes.

The 20 second blog version:

  • AI character generation is fundamentally broken for serious work

  • This tutorial presents a systematic fix using Midjourney video as an intermediate step

  • The method requires upfront time investment but eliminates ongoing frustration

  • Works by treating character creation like industrial asset development

  • Particularly valuable for educators, marketers, and content creators

What you'll understand by the end:

  • Why current AI character methods fail consistently

  • How video generation maintains character integrity better than static images

  • A four-step workflow that creates reusable character assets

  • Practical techniques for building complex scenes with consistent characters
