The man walks along a path, telling an interesting story. He is facing us.
"Take a look at the keys in your pocket... or the simple coffee mug on your desk. We see them as just... things. But they are silent witnesses. That scratch isn't just a scratch; it's a memory. That chip isn't a flaw; it's a moment. So, I ask you: what stories are hiding in the things you see every day?"
I'll help you create a video of a man walking along a path and telling that interesting story while facing the camera. Let me break this down into steps.
- - Step 1: Image_VQA - Analyze the reference image
- - Step 2: Image_Prompt_Generator - Generate prompt for character consistency
- - Step 3: Kontext_Edit - Generate character-consistent image with 9:16 aspect ratio
- - Step 4: Kling_Image_to_Video - Create video of the man walking and telling story
- - Step 5: Text_to_Speech - Generate speech audio from the provided text
- - Step 6: video_lip_sync - Sync the audio with the video for proper lip movement
Now let me start by analyzing the reference image:
Here's a detailed description of the person in the image, focusing on features that aid in character consistency:
Overall Impression: The person appears to be a young male, likely in his late teens or early twenties, with a striking and confident presence. Their expression is relatively neutral but engaging.
Age and Gender:
- Age: Appears to be a young adult, specifically late teens to early twenties (roughly 18-24 years old).
- Gender: Male.
Appearance:
- Skin Tone: Medium to deep brown complexion, suggesting a biracial or Black ethnicity. The skin appears clear and smooth.
- Hair: Dark, very tightly curled, and voluminous hair, giving a full, somewhat rounded Afro-like shape on top. The curls are well-defined and appear healthy. There are lighter highlights on some of the curls due to lighting.
- Facial Features:
- Eyes: Dark brown eyes that are a prominent feature, appearing bright and direct. The eyes are almond-shaped with clear white sclera.
- Eyebrows: Well-defined, dark, and moderately thick eyebrows that are naturally arched.
- Nose: A relatively prominent and defined nose, with a slightly wider base.
- Lips: Full, natural-colored lips, with the bottom lip appearing slightly fuller than the top. They are closed in a relaxed, subtle half-smile or smirk.
- Jawline/Cheeks: A noticeable, strong jawline and defined cheekbones, contributing to a slender yet angular face shape.
- Ears: Both ears are visible, and each has a single large, square-cut or princess-cut clear stud earring, likely cubic zirconia or a similar stone, set in silver-toned metal.
- Build: While only the upper torso is visible, the relaxed fit of the jacket and t-shirt suggests a lean to average build.
Clothing:
- Outerwear: A vibrant red bomber jacket with a soft, slightly shiny finish, suggesting a synthetic material like nylon or satin. The jacket features prominent white stripes on the collar, cuffs (though cuffs are not fully visible), and potentially the hem, characteristic of a varsity or bomber style. The zipper is visible and appears to be in dark red or black.
- Innerwear: A grey marl (heather grey) crew-neck t-shirt. The front of the t-shirt prominently displays the "Champion" logo, which is stylized: "Cham" in red, black, and blue, and the "pion" in white script. The grey of the t-shirt is a classic athletic wear shade.
Distinguishing Characteristics for Consistency:
- Hair: The distinctive dark, voluminous, tight curls are a key identifier.
- Facial Structure: The combination of prominent eyes, well-defined nose, full lips, and strong jawline.
- Earrings: The specific style and size of the clear stud earrings in both ears are easily repeatable.
- Clothing Style: The red bomber jacket with white stripes and the grey Champion t-shirt are unique to this appearance. The sporty, contemporary style is noteworthy.
- Expression: The relatively neutral and calm expression, possibly with a hint of a slight smirk, gives a consistent demeanor.
Now let me generate a prompt for character consistency:
