Plan to Film

Most AI renders look great alone and fall apart in a set.

You generate a beautiful exterior. Then you ask for the living room and get a completely different house. Different ceiling, different stone, different building. That's the problem this guide solves.

This is a 29-page workflow that takes you from a single generated hero image to a finished 40-second vertical film, with the building staying identical across every single frame.

What's inside

• The hero prompt that builds your house from nothing
• 13 frame prompts, each one referencing the hero so the architecture never drifts
• 3 people prompts for adding figures without changing anything else
• 12 video prompts with their exact start and end keyframe pairs
• 2 ffmpeg commands for assembling it into one continuous take
• 17 example images so you can see the consistency holding, not just read about it
• 2 diagrams explaining the pipeline and why most AI films look choppy
• A failure section covering the 5 things that break and how to fix each

The five stages

1. Lock a hero image and approve it properly
2. Generate 12 supporting frames, all referencing that hero
3. Add people as a separate pass, changing nothing else
4. Chain 12 video clips so every one starts where the last ended
5. Assemble with crossfades and add music

Who this is for

Architects, interior designers and studio owners who want to post work that moves. If you've tried AI video and got jump cuts, drifting buildings or interiors that don't match the exterior, this is the fix.

What you'll need

An image model that accepts reference images, a video model that takes start and end keyframes, and ffmpeg. The guide names the specific models used, but the method works with whatever you already pay for.
