Three AI-animated shorts in, character consistency is still the hardest part (MiniMax H3 / LTX / ComfyUI)

The creator of the AI-animated comedy series QUiBBLE shares production lessons after three shorts built with MiniMax H3, LTX, and ComfyUI, aiming for a repeatable series framework.
Key observations:
- Experimented with reference images, character sheets, multiframe generation, and start/end frames;
- H3 works better for restrained acting and dialogue/voice consistency; LTX tends to exaggerate expressions;
- Character consistency is improving but subtle facial drift persists between shots;
- Costume details are surprisingly hard to hold — the lead's patterned coat changes every generation; simpler costumes would help;
- Environment continuity isn't guaranteed either; close-ups and compositing can hide inconsistencies.
The takeaway: borrow from traditional limited animation — fixed camera positions, recurring backgrounds, established character references, and reusable compositions — to sustain an ongoing series.
