Diving into Midjourney's latest update, I uncover two significant gaps in the Consistent Character feature that filmmakers and storytellers can't afford to overlook.
Introducing 'The VariPose Connect Method'- my groundbreaking solution to not only achieve consistent character appearance but also enable unprecedented character interactions. Discover how to revolutionize your Midjourney creations and bridge the gap the update left behind.

This is a masterclass in and of itself. So much stuff packed in a mere 10 minutes! I have spent several hours today going over the video, stopping and trying the stuff in Discord. By now I think I understand the overall "VariPose Connect" method, except for the purpose of the splitscreen image. The example with Jessica on the moon with the rover made sense and I was able to reproduce it with my own set of prompts. However, wouldn't it have worked without the splitscreen thing? P.S. This is NOT a complaint, if anything, a compliment!

This is a great question. The splitscreen allows you to change your character to follow your new prompt in a new setting (e.g. sitting in a landrover) whilst keeping consistency of the character and their clothing. If you didn't use the splitscreen it would use the setting they're already in to paint out the rest of the image. It uses the context of the area that surrounds the area you shaded to decide what to insert into that space (whilst taking into account your updated prompt). This is probably a little more obvious when you shift them to a completely different setting (e.g. coffee shop instead of the moon). Also, by inserting the URL of the original image into your prompt it will insert your character into that new setting. If you didn't do that then you would get the new setting but the character would not appear in that scene. In addition, by keeping one half of your original splitscreen it will keep using that character instead of inserting a new character into the other half. You can think of it as keeping the character's DNA intact when you make changes to your prompt. When you've completed the changes you can then paint over your old image. If you want to make more changes based off that same character and clothing you can go back to the splitscreen and repeat the process. As long as you start with a good splitscreen which shows the same character(s) that look the same in each side of the image then you should be fine.
