How it was made · For the Wall record

NAEL is made of words and one chosen face. This is the record of the series as the pipeline wrote it.

The canon

Every prompt repeats one of two texts, word for word.

Long (close and medium shots):

a Korean woman aged 23 with a soft oval face and full cheeks, warm dark brown eyes, a tiny beauty mark under her right eye, long wavy pastel peach-pink hair parted in the middle with face-framing waves, a small pearl stud earring in her right ear, rosy dewy glass skin, glossy coral lips

Short (full length and wide):

a Korean woman with long wavy pastel peach-pink hair and a small pearl stud earring

The steps

The canon: 7 constants, 14 looks, 3 sets, a never-list.
Casting: faces from the long text alone. One was chosen by hand (K01#1).
Every shot after that was made with the chosen face sent as a reference image and, for full-length shots, the full-figure reference too.
Where a call returned several candidates, a vision model scored them against the face and picked one; a person checked every pick and changed some.
