Multi-shot storytelling is an editing problem before it is a prompting problem. “Wan 3” is not an officially announced model name; use the method below with the currently selected Wan-family workflow and avoid assuming a model will preserve a character across an entire narrative.
Build a continuity sheet
Define the character, wardrobe, object, location, lighting, color palette, lens feeling, and forbidden changes. Then make a short shot list: objective, first frame, action, camera, and exit frame. Give each shot one dramatic purpose.
Generate shots, not a mini-film
Start from reference frames where consistency matters. Keep the prompt structure parallel from shot to shot, change only the event and camera, and save the approved still plus prompt for each scene. Assemble the best short clips in an editor; cuts are a feature, not a failure.
Pain point: people ask one prompt for a complete story and get unstable continuity. Our added value: a controllable shot-card system. Make a first reference-led clip, then build the sequence around the clips you can actually approve.
