Character Reference to Animation
Provide a character reference sheet and describe what happens. Esy screens the brief for protected characters and real-person likenesses, then a motion director composes the structured video prompt — identity bound to your sheet, the style line matched to the sheet’s declared style, camera moves drawn from a proven vocabulary — and Seedance 2.0 renders the animation with synchronized audio. The character stays the same character because consistency comes from the reference image, not from prompt wording.
What You Provide
- Character reference sheet URL (a master-tier sheet from Generate Character Set works best)
- Motion brief — what happens, in plain words
- Style key matching the sheet
- Duration, aspect ratio, resolution, audio preference
What You Get
- A publication-ready artifact produced by the full workflow pipeline
- Generated with Seedance 2.0
- Delivered in 2–10 min

How this workflow runs
Inside the workflow
What happens at each step
Intake
Hand Esy a character reference sheet and say what happens. No camera language or prompt engineering required — the brief can be one plain sentence.
Screen
Before any video spend, the brief is screened for protected characters and real-person likenesses. A rejected brief fails the run immediately — nothing is billed for the render.
Direct
A motion director expands the brief into the full structured video prompt: identity bound to the reference image, the style line forced to the sheet’s declared style, camera moves chosen from a whitelisted vocabulary.
Animate
Seedance 2.0 renders the animation against the reference sheet — 4 to 15 seconds, up to 1080p, with optional synchronized audio.
Artifact
The delivered artifact carries the video plus everything needed to reproduce or audit it: the composed prompt, the reference sheet, the safety verdict, and the per-step cost ledger.
From this workflow
Example outputs
Fox Wakes in the Clearing
A storybook fox from a master reference sheet wakes, stretches, and trots toward camera — one identity across every frame.
Mascot Victory Hop
A brand mascot lands a two-beat celebration loop — flat vector style preserved from the sheet’s declared style line.
