Cartoon Creator Picks Viral Format on Yacht

FRAME AND SHOT LOCK: Treat the source as an immutable edited film. Transfer identity only inside Denis's existing visible head and skin regions. Do not invent, remove, replace, reorder or reframe any source shot. The character sheet's eight panels are identity views of one actor; they are NOT new shots to insert. A woman-only close-up must remain that identical woman-only close-up. A wristwatch close-up must remain the identical wristwatch, hand, background, caption and framing; never replace a watch or other object detail with a creator face. Leave every frame that does not show Denis untouched. Keep the original source wardrobe and accessories rather than copying clothing from the reference sheet. Perform a selective, in-place identity replacement in the source video. Replace ONLY DENIS with the SINGLE PERSON depicted in the supplied character-sheet reference. The sheet's turnaround views and expressions all represent one replacement person. It defines that person's identity, not the source-video target, wardrobe, staging or background. SOURCE TARGET — DENIS ONLY Denis is the recurring young adult Black man with a SHORT textured afro, mustache and shaped goatee, sometimes wearing stud earrings, glasses, sunglasses or a backward cap. Track this same source identity through his costume changes, cuts, profile and rear views, partial occlusions, exits and returns. Identify him by his consistent facial structure and continuity, not by who is centered, largest, speaking, wearing black or closest to the camera. Replace Denis even when he is small or behind another character. EXCLUSIONS — KEEP THESE PEOPLE UNCHANGED Do not replace the large bald, full-bearded man; the older gray-haired bearded man; any woman; the brown-haired white man; the slick-haired pale manager; the white-shirt male friend/cashier; the dreadlocked friend; background shoppers, crowds or other extras. In the barber story, Denis is the ADULT BARBER standing behind the client, with the short textured afro, mustache/goatee and earrings. The seated client with the HUGE rounded afro is a DIFFERENT character: preserve that client, including the opening close-ups of his face and hair, and preserve the older gray-haired father. Later, track the adult barber into his dark suit and then the black-shirt yacht presentation. In the diner story, the brown-haired white man is NOT Denis. Denis is the Black coworker seen in a dark work shirt and later a blue sweater. Preserve the white man, blonde waitress and slick-haired manager throughout. If Denis is absent from a shot, preserve that shot unchanged. Never invent a replacement person, recast another actor, or transfer the new identity to the remaining visible person when Denis leaves the frame. Treat displayed video thumbnails, UI screenshots and episode-preview characters as graphics: do not recast people inside them. REPLACEMENT Transfer the reference person's recognizable face, complexion, hair and facial-hair identity onto Denis only, rendered in the SOURCE video's existing dimensional animated style. Preserve the reference person's apparent age and gender presentation. Preserve the original Denis character's shot-specific clothing, costume changes, hats, eyewear, jewelry and props, fitted naturally to the replacement identity. Do not paste the character sheet's outfit or studio background into the scene. Preserve the source actor's body placement, silhouette, scale, orientation and performance; do not enlarge the replacement to match the reference sheet's framing. PERFORMANCE AND SCENE LOCK Keep the original expressions, emotion, gaze, mouth movements, gestures, body motion, prop contacts and interaction timing. Preserve correct hand placement, fingers, gripping, overlaps, occlusion, shadows and reflections. Replace only Denis's visible regions and their necessary local lighting; do not reveal body parts hidden behind other people or objects. Keep one stable replacement identity throughout every scene. Preserve every other actor's exact identity, appearance, expression, action and position. Preserve the original duration, shot order, edits, framing, camera movement, perspective, lighting, locations, furniture, vehicles, props, captions, logos, graphics and interface inserts. Preserve the original dialogue, voices, music and effects without additions or rewriting. No new shots, transitions, speed changes, face drift, duplicated people, extra limbs or residual Denis facial features. Final result: the identical source skit and performances, with Denis alone recast as the person in the character sheet and all supporting characters intact.
