A character should remain recognizable when the shot changes. Wan 3.0 Prime combines multi-shot storytelling, reference guidance, and synchronized sound for connected video scenes.
Integrate Wan 3.0 Prime through Pollo API to turn approved characters and scene briefs into narrative video options within storyboarding, advertising, and creator applications.
Key Features of Wan 3.0 Prime API
Multi-Shot Narratives
Scene changes can serve a single story rather than separate visual ideas. Establish the action, move closer to a detail, and reveal a character’s response.
Reference-Based Continuity
Reference guidance helps carry a subject’s recognizable appearance into generated sequences. It provides a visual anchor when the framing, action, or surrounding setting changes.
Coordinated Audio and Action
Generated sound can accompany dialogue and visible events. Describe the moment a sound occurs to make it part of the scene’s narrative rhythm and atmosphere.
Flexible Visual Starting Points
Start from a written scene, an opening image, or reference material. Each approach lets a different part of the creative brief lead the result.
Use Cases of Wan 3.0 Prime API
Character Reveal Sequences: Move from a wide scene to a close reaction while anchoring the character with an approved reference.
Dialogue Storyboards: Explore how a short exchange works with reaction shots, pauses, and surrounding sound.
Illustrated Story Adaptations: Use existing character artwork to plan a scene with an introduction, discovery, and response.
Connected Campaign Scenes: Test related situations featuring the same referenced subject instead of inventing a new look for every concept.
Venue Mini-Stories: Follow one visitor through an arrival, an encounter, and a destination reveal.
Prop-Centered Narratives: Keep a distinctive item central while changing the framing to show how characters respond to it.

Prompting Best Practices for Wan 3.0 Prime API
Plan the cuts before describing decorative detail. Give each shot a purpose, and repeat the character or prop details that need to survive the transition.
A Simple Prompt Formula
Character reference + scene context + shot one + shot two + final reveal + continuity requirements + dialogue or sound
What You Should Notice
Useful Cuts: Introduce a new shot only when it reveals information, clarifies an action, or shows a reaction.
Recognizable Subjects: Keep the identifying wardrobe, facial features, and key props explicit throughout the brief.
Screen Direction: Describe where a character moves and where the next shot finds them to avoid ambiguous spatial instructions.
Short Dialogue: Use a compact exchange that leaves room for expressions, pauses, and the final visual beat.
Ending Composition: State what viewers should see last rather than letting the sequence end on an unspecified movement.
Example Prompts
The Umbrella Mix-Up
“Use the woman in the reference image, keeping her yellow raincoat. Wide shot of a station umbrella stand; close-up as she takes a tiny purple umbrella; reaction shot as its owner, a small child, taps her sleeve. She laughs and returns it. Gentle rain, no dialogue.”
The Museum’s Quiet Surprise
“An elderly museum attendant hears a ticking noise after closing. Show the empty gallery, then his approach to a glass case, then a close view of a toy bird beginning to move. Keep his green cardigan consistent. Footsteps stop as the mechanical chirping begins.”
A Chess Club Invitation
“A newcomer watches an unfinished chess game. Cut to a hand sliding an empty chair toward her, then to her relieved smile. Preserve the board’s location between shots. A player says, ‘Your move.’ Quiet cups clink in the background.”
