Characters are a core production element in the Sensa studio. You audition, direct, style and lock every face in your film, exactly like real casting, with infinitely more control.
Module 01 · the cast, under command
Real casting gives you a choice. Sensa gives you command over every face in the film.
Characters give you absolute, granular control over the cast of a project, and the process deliberately mirrors real casting, from the very first reference to the final locked performance. Nothing is left to chance, and nothing is generic.
It runs in four moves: audition on stills, screen-test on video, style with Looks, then lock into the production, where every character can still be re-tailored without rebuilding a thing.
Step 01 · The audition
Creating a character on Sensa is auditioning them. We generate a range of references, then move the character into the exact world your production calls for: claymation, a Pixar-style render, natural fashion styling, full photoreal, whatever the brief demands.
We audition and cast each character in the style they will actually appear in, so what you approve is what you get.

Locked, every angle
Once cast, a character holds. The same face, build and styling carry across every pose, profile and full-body shot, so nothing drifts from one scene to the next.

The audition does not stop at stills. We take the character into the Spell Studio and screen-test them on video with Seedance, directing them, giving them actions suited to the scene, and rendering the results so you can see exactly how each AI actor performs.
Only once we have seen that do we cast them and lock them into the production.
Because this all happens in pre-production, you learn far more about your cast than the short window you would ever get with a real actor.
Step 03 · Looks
With your character cast, you move into Looks, available across every Sensa production element. This is where the detail lives. A Look gives you control over hair, makeup and wardrobe, right down to swapping a single hairpin.
You are working alongside an art director, a makeup department and a wardrobe department at once. We build as many Looks as a project needs, often up to ten per character depending on locations and scenes, and every look sheet is presented to you for approval.
Built to change
The real strength shows deep into production. Decide late that one item needs to change, and the reference sheet is re-tailored. Pull the single item, feed it back into the pipeline, and every existing clip carrying the old version updates automatically. Nothing is rebuilt from scratch.
