# What is Character Consistency?

Keeping a person or mascot recognizably the same in every shot: face, hair, outfit, proportions and markings. Generators drift from one generation to the next, so teams hold the look with reference images.

## In real work

The bakery's fox mascot grew a different tail in every scene, so the studio made a turnaround sheet to lock character consistency before animating the 30-second spot.
