Face-Swap Character Sheets: A Professional Prompting Guide
The cinematic contact-sheet format is a sophisticated visual narrative tool that demands high-level structural integrity. By utilizing a 3x3 grid, this concept emphasizes architectural grandeur contrasted with human anatomy, creating an editorial aesthetic reminiscent of high-end fashion portfolios or film production storyboards. The color palette relies heavily on the juxtaposition of deep emerald velvet against neutral, cold concrete, establishing a moody, sophisticated atmosphere. Every texture—from the tactile nap of the blazer to the sharp, polished surfaces of the interior—contributes to a hyper-realistic narrative. The inclusion of specific camera labels adds a professional, technical layer, grounding the image in the language of cinematography while ensuring that the character remains the central focal point within each varied spatial perspective.

Use the uploaded TARGET IMAGE as the exact master reference.
Use the uploaded REFERENCE PHOTO only to replace the male person's identity — FACE + HAIR.
Create the final image as an EXACT 3×3 cinematic contact-sheet / character reference sheet matching the TARGET IMAGE.
IDENTITY REPLACEMENT:
- Replace the face of the male character in ALL panels with the face from the uploaded REFERENCE PHOTO.
- Replace the hair with the reference person's natural hairstyle, hair texture, hairline, and hair color.
- Keep the same identity consistently across every panel.
- Preserve realistic natural skin texture and facial details.
- Do not over-smooth, beautify, reshape, or excessively sharpen the face.
TARGET IMAGE MUST REMAIN THE MASTER:
- Same 3×3 grid layout
- Same 9 panels
- Same male body, proportions, clothing, and styling
- Same dark green velvet blazer
- Same black shirt
- Same black trousers
- Same black shoes
- Same concrete architectural interior
- Same windows, staircase, walls, floor, and background
- Same lighting, shadows, reflections, and atmosphere
- Same camera angles
- Same poses and gestures
- Same framing, crop, perspective, and composition
- Same black rounded borders separating the panels
- Same overall cinematic photorealistic style
IMPORTANT — PRESERVE ALL LABELS:
Keep the white rounded rectangular labels at the bottom of each panel exactly as they appear in the TARGET IMAGE.
The labels must remain clearly visible, correctly spelled, in the same position, same size, same white rounded-box design, and same black typography:
Panel 1:
"/droneview:"
Panel 2:
"/extremecloseup:"
Panel 3:
"/lowangle:"
Panel 4:
"/highangle:"
Panel 5:
"/topdown:"
Panel 6:
"/profile:"
Panel 7:
"/wormseye:"
Panel 8:
"/threequarterback:"
Panel 9:
"/widefull:"
Do NOT remove, rewrite, replace, duplicate, or reposition these labels.
Do not add any reference-photo inset, reference box, watermark, extra text, logo, or additional elements.
The REFERENCE PHOTO is ONLY for FACE + HAIR.
Everything else must come from the TARGET IMAGE.
FINAL RULE:
TARGET IMAGE = exact composition, poses, clothing, environment, camera angles, lighting, grid, borders, labels, and all visual details.
REFERENCE PHOTO = FACE + HAIR ONLY.
The final result must look as close as possible to the TARGET IMAGE, with only the male person's face and hair identity replaced by the uploaded reference person.
