Seven runs end on a glowing-eyed face filling the frame

Seven Seedance 2.5 runs of 26 August 2026 (UTC), from text alone with a premium cinematic 3D look target, each close on a face with lit eyes. H01 viewed 12 timestamped frames of each. Seen in the sampled frames: the settings differ (a field before a glowing city, a dusk street, a wet terraced street, a dim bedroom, an ice bridge, an ice nave, a birch forest), but in each the final three or four samples are a close-up of a face with red, orange or amber eyes, and in several the face is larger in the last sample than in the first close-up one. In every one the first five samples are a wide of the setting before any character close-up. Caution: the sampling interval can miss motion; H01 did not play the clips in full. Reading: in these single runs (no seed set) the pairing of a wide opening and a lit-eye closing portrait recurred across settings; this describes this set, not a rule. These are retrospective observations of founder tests, not a benchmark or product validation. Audio was not listened to.
