2The making side of the policy

Policy wording in “Public figure” meets production here; SceneMixer's pages describe its side like this:

Every character gets an AI-generated full-body reference sheet at analysis time. Face and body crops from that sheet are injected into every video segment that features the character, so the same face, hair, and signature look persist across all episodes.

Each line is generated with the picture, in the voice chosen for that character, and the speaker's lips move with the words.
