Will characters look consistent across scenes?
Keep character descriptions identical in every Kling prompt (hair, clothing, age) to maximize visual consistency between shots.
Is this beginner-friendly?
It's more involved than a single Short — budget a couple of hours and expect to regenerate a few scenes to get the look right.
