Seedance 2.5 ember-colossus ritual in a fire wall: 2.4 s blackout in the middle (20 s, 21:9)
Ultra-wide anamorphic sequence of a rope-woven colossus with a glowing orb inside a wall of flame; between about 11 and 14 s the fire vanishes, leaving only a faint orb, then returns.
Task: A colossus conducting in a ringed clearing against walls of flame, shot as anamorphic cinema.
Outcome: succeeded
0.63 s: Wide: small colossus figure beside a charred post in a ring of fire.
4.39 s: Close on the colossus with a white-hot orb head and raised arms.
6.90 s: Arms spread wide; flame wall behind.
9.40 s: Wide again with fire still burning high.
10.66 s: Almost black; only a small orange orb is visible.
13.17 s: Still near-black; the orb flickers brighter at 14.42 s.
15.68 s: Fire has returned and the colossus has arms outstretched.
19.42 s: Wide matching the opening composition.
Intent vs result: Blackdetect flags 11.21-13.58 s; the sampled frames show a faint orb and floor line inside the dark, so it is not a full-black gap. Whether the dark lull was requested was not checked against the full prompt text.
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.

}Evidence claims
- [sourced_fact] Timestamped observations above come from viewing 20 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 mid-clip power-down lull with the orb as the only light is visually distinct and bookends the fire; check the prompt before treating blackdetect hits as defects.
