Character consistency across multi-shot video generation is maintained by applying a continuity checklist tracking identity, props, location, motion, and tone anchors across consecutive beats to prevent visual drift.

Episodic video generation drift occurs when fresh generation overrides prior continuity artifacts; enforcing a reference hierarchy that prioritizes locked formal shots and world-audition videos before new generation prevents this.

Intentional transformations across sequel video sessions require explicit before and after state descriptions with irreversible step notes, ensuring deliberate changes rather than accidental environment resets or palette jumps.

Locking world bible continuity for cinematic production requires explicit continuity constraints and a failure-mode block system to catch face changes, costume drift, prop mutation, and unmotivated lighting jumps across sessions.

A continuity bible is needed for long-form video generation when your next request continues prior shots and depends on maintaining coherent character, environment, prop, and tone state across multi-session episodic or sequel production.
