A distinct lead for STORM II AI
The visual hierarchy of STORM II AI depends on the lead remaining identifiable as the group moves. Photo 1 is dedicated to that character's appearance, including visible face, hair, build and clothes. Choose a reference with enough separation from its own background that the intended person is easy to recognize.
Your lead does not need to copy the original pose. The performance supplies the action. For a useful STORM II AI reference, clarity and a complete look matter more than acting out the choreography. A sharply photographed upper body is more informative than a dark frame where the face and outfit disappear into the surroundings.
How the STORM II AI crowd reference works
Photo 2 supplies the appearance direction for the surrounding cast. STORM II AI does not offer a roster in which every background position receives its own image. Think of the second input as a way to influence the look of the ensemble while the loaded footage supplies its number, placement and synchronized movement.
This distinction is important if you are trying to include several friends. STORM II AI cannot promise that each face in a group photograph will be assigned to a particular performer. If individual identity matters, choose a workflow with explicitly separate roles, such as Gas Station Dance AI, and use those photo slots as directed.
