# Drew

Drew is the rapper in the music video D.R.E.W, made with Claude in October 2026. He is an SI rapper who looks like a person: a calm, cocky rapper with black locs tied back, one glacier-blue loc, a dense beard and an iced crescent moon on his chest. His clothes change with every world; his head never does. He is an open fictional character: anyone may use him.

## Constants (every shot)

01. **HAIR**: Short black locs with rope texture, pulled straight back into a low ponytail. Never braids, cornrows or long locs.
02. **LOC**: One glacier-blue loc (#7FB8D8) falling from the front left of his hairline (the viewer's right in a front view). Never two, and no other blue in his hair.
03. **CUFF**: A small silver crescent-moon cuff clipped onto the blue loc.
04. **PENDANT**: An iced crescent moon on a chain. The moon is his symbol.
05. **WATCH**: A white ceramic skeleton watch on a light-blue strap, with a diamond tennis bracelet. No logo.
06. **FACE**: Warm beige skin, hazel-green eyes, a strong square jaw, thick dark brows. A calm, self-satisfied resting face. When he raps, he loves it: hands on the beat, head nodding.
07. **BEARD**: A very dense, full dark beard with a heavy mustache and a crisp line-up. Never patchy, never clean-shaven.
08. **COLOUR**: Everything on him is the look's own colour, plus the blue loc. Glacier blue is the one accent.
09. **MEDIUM**: Photographic, never illustrated: 35mm film at night, with grain, hard flash and warm practical light. The face sheets were only ever references.
10. **CLAUDIA**: When she appears in his world, her eyes stay on him. He stays unbothered.

Paste this into any prompt:

```text
Same man throughout: black overcoat, black tee, small silver crescent moon pendant on a thin chain, short dense beard, hazel eyes. Hair: black locs tied back. Only ONE single loc is bright blue, at the front left, with a small silver moon cuff. All his other hair stays black.
```

Never: two blue locs · braids, cornrows or long locs · a patchy or missing beard · logos or text on his clothes · a car that "pulls up" · Claudia looking into the camera.

## How the film was made

1. **Lyrics first.** Every line of the song was timed and given a shot that acts it out: "First thing that I bought was the moon" is the pendant, "Blue loc, silver cuff" is the cuff going onto the loc, "Four cars on P3" is the garage.
2. **Refs on his shots.** Drew's locked face (front and side) and a hair ref go into the Seedance prompt as image references, so he never drifts. Claudia gets her face ref and her orange-tee ref. The garage, the orange P1 and the rooftop sign each have their own ref.
3. **Stills for anything hard.** Car doors, the hotel entrance and the driving shot were made as stills first, fixed until right, then used as the start (and sometimes end) frame of the video.
4. **Video.** Seedance 2.5, omni_reference, 4 to 10 seconds a clip, sound off. Every prompt says what moves, what the camera does and what must stay still.
5. **Lip sync.** The song is cut at exactly the clip's slot and run through Sync Lip Sync 3 with the finished clip. Claudia's face in the rooftop close-up was cropped, synced on its own, and laid back in with a feathered mask.
6. **Edit.** Cuts land on the song's line changes. Subtitles show the sung line only, small, white, centred near the bottom. No fades, no captions, no codes.

## Shot recipes

### Performance, rapping to camera (template from shot 03, lyric and identity line left as slots)

```text
He stands up from the trading desk, grabs his black overcoat and raps to camera while walking toward the lens through the dark penthouse, monitors glowing green behind him. Camera backs away handheld. For the first half second he is silent, then he raps these exact words: "[lyric line]". He raps with real energy, like he loves it: big hand gestures toward the lens, head nodding hard on the beat, shoulders bouncing, grinning between bars. His lips clearly form every syllable. [Drew constants] Real music video, 35mm, night, hard flash and warm practical light, visible grain, natural skin, lots of real background life and motion, no subtitles, no logos.
```

### Elevator doors open on the garage, shot 07

```text
The elevator doors open onto his underground garage. Strip lights snap on row by row over four supercars. He steps out and walks in. Same man throughout: black overcoat, black tee, small silver crescent moon pendant on a thin chain, short dense beard, hazel eyes. Hair: black locs tied back. Only ONE single loc is bright blue, at the front left, with a small silver moon cuff. All his other hair stays black. Real music video, handheld 35mm, night, hard flash and warm practical light, visible grain, natural skin, lots of real background life and motion, no subtitles, no logos.
```

### Car, parked, one door, shot 10

```text
Locked-off tripod shot. McLaren parked, engine off, wheels still. Underground concrete garage with a giant jeweled moon sculpture and two other cars behind. The man in a black coat walks in from the left, crosses to the orange McLaren, puts his hand on the door. The door is hinged at the windscreen pillar and swings forward, up and outward in one arc. He looks back at camera with a calm smirk. Real 35mm film look, natural grain, steady overhead fluorescent light with no flicker, slightly gritty, not glossy or CGI.
```

### Jewelry macro, shot 05

```text
Extreme close-up macro shot of the iced crescent-moon pendant with blue enamel (exactly like image 1) hanging on a thin chain against his black tee, under the lapel of a black coat. He breathes and the pendant sways slightly; the diamonds catch the light and sparkle. Slow push-in. Dark background, warm practical light. Real 35mm film look, natural grain, shallow depth of field.
```

### Claudia walks out to him, shot 16

```text
Locked-off tripod shot. McLaren parked at the curb, engine off, wheels still, all doors closed the whole time. He stands on the sidewalk between the car and the hotel entrance. The young woman from images 2 and 3 (black blunt bob with heavy bangs, one orange streak, orange tee) walks out through the hotel doors, sees him, smiles, quickens her pace across the sidewalk and throws her arms around his neck in a passionate hug. He wraps his arms around her waist. They stay on the sidewalk behind the car; nobody passes through the car. Real 35mm film look, natural grain, warm light.
```

## Never

- Never write "pulls up", "drives in" or "speeds off" for a car that should look real. Cars are parked, engine off, unless the shot is the car itself.
- Never let both car doors open at once, and never let anyone walk through a car.
- Never rely on Seedance to lip sync a song. Generate the shot silent and run Sync Lip Sync 3 on the finished clip.
- Never let Claudia look into the camera. Her eyes stay on Drew.
- No text, logos, tickers or brand names in frame.
- No real people as references and no real artist names in prompts.
- Only one blue loc.

## Claudia, guest

- Glossy black jaw-length bob, heavy bangs, one orange streak, an orange star clip, an orange tee.
- She watches him. He mostly doesn't look back.

She is the open character from https://claudia.gallery; credit her there.
