Bring your whole cast to every scene

Add a portrait of each person as an image reference and say where they go next. Here, five portraits went in, and all five turn up in both scenes: packed into a lift, then lined up at a bakery window. Everyone keeps their own face, hair and clothes.

Reference portraits of the five-person cast: the man in the red suit, a woman with a bleached buzz cut, a woman with a silver bob and yellow glasses, a red-haired man in a white vest and a bald man in an orange jacket.Your cast

Put your product in every shot
