Hailuo H3 is awesome for multi-character reference.

I added 9 character sheets: Myself, Chris, Rourke, Linus, Lola, Kavan, Sebastien, Tim, and Jerrod.

It did an awesome job keeping everything together.

PROMPT:

CAST AND LOCATION ALEX = [IMAGE REFERENCE 1] β€” the host, tall and immaculate, sunk into the middle of the sofa, head tipped back, laughing hardest. G1 = [IMAGE REFERENCE 2] β€” on a floor cushion, doubled over their knees. G2 = [IMAGE REFERENCE 3] β€” beside Alex on the sofa, hand on his shoulder for balance. G3 = [IMAGE REFERENCE 4] β€” on the sofa arm, wiping their eyes. G4 = [IMAGE REFERENCE 5] β€” kneeling at the coffee table, palm on the marble. G5 = [IMAGE REFERENCE 6] β€” cross-legged on the rug, silent-laughing. G6 = [IMAGE REFERENCE 7] β€” in the armchair, cushion hugged to their chest. G7 =[IMAGE REFERENCE 8] β€” standing behind the sofa, hand braced on its back, shaking. G8 = [IMAGE REFERENCE 9] β€” against the window glass, hand over their mouth. Each cast member's identity, face, hair, build and wardrobe come entirely from their own reference; nothing here overrides them and no sheet layout is inherited β€” no turnaround panels, grids, swatches or labels. Names alone are used from here on. THE APARTMENT = prompt-defined, no reference: the living room of a luxurious San Francisco apartment at night β€” velvet sofa and armchair, marble coffee table, sheepskin rug and floor cushions, oak floor, lit gas fireplace, bar cart, large abstract canvas, warm table lamps, floor-to-ceiling windows full of city and bridge lights. Party detritus on the table, a speaker playing.  SCENE CONTEXT The moment right after somebody landed a perfect joke. All nine friends are mid-laugh in the living room, nobody speaking, nobody leaving their seat β€” just the wave of laughter running round the group and settling.  STYLE Photoreal 35mm night interior, warm tungsten lamps and firelight against cool city-window blue, shallow depth, gentle grain, shot on ARRI Alexa 35. Rich, glossy, affectionate, unposed.  TIMELINE One continuous 15-second take, seven ordered beats tracing one laugh: the peak, a wheeze, a re-trigger, a slap, the tears, an aftershock, the settle. Beat order and pacing words control timing; no ramps.  LOCATION MAP Screen x/y in percent, 0% = left/top. Camera inside the room, starting 3 m out at 1.2 m, facing the sofa with the windows beyond. Sofa spans x 30% to 70% at y 60%, backed by the window wall; windows fill x 12% to 96%, y 15% to 58%, city lights beyond. Fireplace x 8%, y 55%; armchair x 82%, y 62%; coffee table x 50%, y 82%; bar cart x 90%, y 48%; rug and cushions fill the lower frame. ALEX centre sofa x 50%, y 56%; G2 x 60%, y 56%; G3 sofa arm x 70%, y 52%; G7 behind the sofa x 44%, y 40%; G1 cushion x 32%, y 78%; G4 at the table x 56%, y 76%; G5 rug x 40%, y 84%; G6 armchair x 82%, y 60%; G8 at the glass x 88%, y 44%. Nobody changes position for the whole take β€” every body stays seated, kneeling, cross-legged or standing where it starts. FIRST FRAME already holds seven of the nine, all already laughing β€” no empty room, no build-up to the joke.  FORMAT MODE Single continuous take, one camera, no cuts or fades. Real-time motion. Native sound, no dialogue, no subtitles, no on-screen text.  CAMERA Lens lock 84Β° diagonal field of view throughout, height 1.2 m at seated eye level β€” room readable to the frame edges with the windows behind, rectilinear, no fisheye. One continuous move: a slow 90-degree arc screen-right to screen-left around the coffee table, pushing in from 3 m to 1.8 m and drifting up 20 cm, so different faces come forward in turn, ending across the table on Alex with G2 and G7 in the same plane. Shoulder-mounted handheld weight, operator breath and micro-settling, no gimbal glide, no whip-pans. Focus rides whoever is nearest, racking softly on each new burst. Windows stay behind the sofa; screen direction never flips. No zoom, no lens change.  ACTION TIMING BEAT 1 β€” The peak. Everyone is already at full volume: Alex's head goes back into the cushions, G4's palm comes down flat on the marble, G1 folds over their knees, G7 grips the so
