Seedance 2.5 grey-peg test: frisbee close-up pulls back to a railing vault (15 s)
Close-up of a girl studying a yellow disc, a whip pan, a speaking beat, then a pull-back to a railing and a vault; identity is stable but the output's later geography only partly follows the peg video.
Task: Close performance beat with a prop, a whip pan, dialogue to an off-camera listener, then a physical exit over a railing.
Outcome: partial
0.63 s: Close shot of a ponytailed girl in a dark tee examining a yellow disc against a brick wall.
3.14 s: Disc fills the right of frame; her expression is focused.
4.39 s: Whip pan: yellow disc smears in the foreground and her head turns.
5.64 s: Looking up and off-camera with a worried expression; mouth moves from 8.15 s.
10.66 s: Camera has pulled back to waist-up in front of lawn and white railing.
13.17 s: She reaches an arm out to the railing.
14.42 s: Body bent over the railing in a vault; face not visible, black leggings now visible.
Intent vs result: The peg video (12.7 s vs 15.05 s output) shows a head-and-shoulder peg against the brick facade, then a long pan toward trees and sky; the output follows the facade opening but ends on a lawn and railing rather than trees and sky, so the later camera path only partly follows the peg.
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.",

}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] Close, expressive opening beats are strong; late-shot camera geography can diverge when the peg video changes view faster than the performance requires.
