Seedance 2.5 grey-peg test: table-tennis game, rising camera reveal (15 s)
Fifteen seconds over a foreground boy's shoulder at a table-tennis rally that rises to a high view of the table; the girl in the opening group leaves frame early.
Task: Over-the-shoulder view of a rally between two players with a bystander, then a rising camera that reveals the table from above.
Outcome: succeeded
0.63 s: Foreground boy in white tee at left; a girl in grey tee and a player in a grey tank and blue cap stand behind a blue table.
5.64 s: Player in blue cap swings; the girl remains in place.
6.90 s: The girl turns and walks out of the sampled view.
8.15 s: Player in grey tank leans back with a raised arm as the ball action peaks.
10.66 s: Camera begins to rise over the foreground boy's head.
13.17 s: High angle shows the whole blue table and net; the boy now appears at frame left.
14.42 s: Boy in profile with glasses at bottom-left; table fully visible, no other players in the sampled frame.
Intent vs result: The 14.79 s peg video shows the same foreground figure, two background figures and a raised-arm beat near 11 s followed by a high view of the table at about 13.6 s; the output keeps those beats at about 8 s and 13-14 s, so retiming shifts the arm beat earlier.
Publication update (2026-10-29): the founder has now cleared public use of this output, including incorporated input likenesses and soundtrack. Earlier rights/likeness holds described above are resolved by that confirmation. Reference-input files remain private. Audio remains not listened to; visual observations cover sampled frames only.

"procedure": "Seedance 2.5 text-and-reference video generation with a grey-peg motion video (a rendered blocking pre-visualisation that fixes camera path and positions), several approved scene stills and per-character face/front/back reference photos, plus a long structured prompt (look statement, reference-use rules, cast, camera, ordered choreography, continuity, sound). Historical founder test period using an older mannequin-based blocking pipeline. Sampled inspection: 12 timestamped frames from 0.63 s to 14.42 s of a 15.05 s file, plus ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 and blackdetect.",

"Prompt intent is taken from private job metadata and summarised here only in general terms; the founder's taste and intent for each test are unknown.",
"Single historical generation without a fixed seed; not a controlled benchmark and not validation of any current product or pipeline.",

}Evidence claims
- [sourced_fact] Timestamped observations above come from viewing 12 sampled frames of the output (sampled visual inspection, not full playback).
- [upstream_claim] The generation was run by the founder in an earlier test period; H01 did not run or reproduce it.
- [inference] A rising-camera reveal is reproduced faithfully; with long takes, background characters can drop out as the camera moves away.
