I built a simple workflow for creating consistent AI characters while saving time, money, and generations.

Watch the finished video: View the final video

I start by creating a character in Midjourney, then refine it in Nano Banana and create a character sheet with different poses and angles.

The key step is using that character sheet together with the visual style and environment from my original Midjourney image. Instead of generating each shot individually, I ask Nano Banana to build a 3x3 grid containing nine different shots of the same character within the same environment. With a detailed prompt, I can define the framing, composition, and action for all nine shots in a single generation.

I can then extract the individual frames from the grid simply by asking Nano Banana to separate them. Finally, I use the most suitable frames as starting frames in tools like Kling or Veo to animate the shots and build the final sequence.

The idea is simple: instead of generating 150 images and throwing most of them away, I create a visual system first and generate multiple usable shots at once. It saves generations, reduces costs, and gives me much more consistency and control over the final video.

I just wrapped up a new project. Spendback uses AI agents to continuously audit advertising, AI, and vendor spend, identifying billing issues, recovering overcharges, and protecting future budgets. This new AI era keeps opening doors for me, one after another. Very grateful.

Love seeing agents built around immediate ROI like this, cutting spend leakage proves its value right away. Really clean UI and positioning
