Before and after are states
- Two looks, one face. The cleaner's uniform and the gala gown are states; the face stays hers. States.
- The lost object (a shoe, an earring, an invitation) is a prop. Props.
- The stepfamily each gets one clear mark; they will be in every episode. Same face.
- Original design. A blue gown and glass slippers in the famous cut will trigger the IP check; change the colour and the object. IP check.

FAQ
How do I make a Cinderella story with AI?
Give the heroine two states (everyday and gown), choose European Palace or Urban Opulence in Step 1, and make the lost object a prop.
Can I use the famous animated Cinderella?
No. That design is someone's IP. The fairy tale is public domain; your gown, shoes and characters must be your own.
How do I show the transformation?
Switch from her everyday state to her gown state between segments.
Can it be modern?
Yes. A hotel gala in Urban Opulence with Haute Couture works well.
Can I make a children's version?
Yes. Use Watercolor Storybook or Family 3D Animation as the visual style.
Which visual style suits a romance version?
Soft Glow or Digital HD.
Vertical or landscape?
9:16 Portrait for short-drama feeds.
How do I show a whole ballroom?
Background guests in the background line and a few named people up close.
