So I'm finally back from my holiday in Bali and was able to recharge my batteries a bit.
I also had the chance to finally dedicate some time to fully grasping the power of Vary, Pan, and Zoom, Midjourney's newest set of features that are poised to help everyone that is working on any form of storytelling.
That's right, it might not seem obvious at first, but if you combine all of these features into a specific workflow, you can finally craft entire scenes based on an original consistent character concept.
You guessed it. Carla Caruso is back!
It all starts off with a simple headshot on a white background. But from there, you can essentially use your character to craft any type of scene you need.
You work yourself outwards from the character's face and build out the environment. And you can even add additional characters to the scenes, giving you unprecedented control.
And guess what? You can even re-introduce another specific character into your scene, getting us one step closer towards truly multi-character scenes.
Today's video is just an appetizer. It's the tip of an iceberg.
I sincerely believe we are at the cusp of a massive step-change!

    12:53 I love that Midjourney added the option to change the aspect ratio, but it would be helpful if we could use our own custom backgrounds (based on reference images that we provide), and place our characters within those custom backgrounds. For projects where we need a lot of control over the scene that we create, it’s important to not only have custom characters, but also custom backgrounds, and maintain consistency of these elements. When combining our characters with a background, we may want to show the scene from different camera angles, and change things like the lighting conditions (or weather conditions), but it should still maintain the same consistent look even when these changes are made.

    15:35 I’m very interested in combining multiple characters together in a scene, since this is usually important for creating a full scene. But I don’t want to add the same character twice in a scene because there’s usually no point in doing that. Instead of adding a random male character to the scene like you did earlier in the video, would you be able to add a custom male character instead? I’d like to know if it’s currently possible to add multiple of my custom characters into a scene. Also, I want to be able to create interactive poses with my characters. Instead of my characters being placed in different areas of the image, I may want them closely interacting with each other. Some examples where the characters might need to closely interact is if they’re engaging in combat sports like wrestling or martial arts, or if the characters are hugging each other (or if they’re holding hands). This is something I’m hoping will be possible soon, because it would be really helpful in creating scenes for comics and graphic novels.

    You need to use "Vary (Strong)" and you obviously need to replace "white background" with some sort of environment. If you're using Remix with low variation mode activated, then it obviously won't work because that's an entirely different type of Remixing. I'm pretty sure I show these steps with quite a bit of detail 😉

    I'm wondering whether there is a workflow using character sheets. I've played around with generating comic character sheets, e.g. 4x4 grid of the same character with different expressions or varying by some other feature. I find that the items in the grid are reasonably consistent. The shame is that you can't start with a single item from the grid and outpaint from that (easily anyway).

    Using red hair is a common cheat for "consistent" characters. Because there are fewer redhead face examples that Midjourney has sampled, and the hair distracts the mind from facial differences.

    The video would have ended up being 45 minutes long if I showed every single example. Many wouldn't watch the video then. The approach is always the same. The only thing that changes is the image that you want to create. Start with the head, pan the body (and choose an activity/pose if you must), custom zoom out a bit, pan the environment, custom zoom out the full scene. No need to repeat the same thing multiple times.
