Seedance 2.5 colonnade throne scene, fourth take: darker spiral and 0.75 s tail (20 s)
Colonnade throne scene with sun shafts, a golden throne dissolving into sparks, a long face close-up and a dark spiral before the descent.
Task: Same sequence in a sunlit colonnade.
Outcome: succeeded
0.63 s: Sun shafts through a colonnade; a small figure on steps before a throne.
4.38 s: Hero with long red hair at a gold slab.
8.14 s: Throne glows gold, then bursts into sparks (9.39 s).
11.90 s: Close-up of the face with embers.
15.66 s: Dark spiral staircase; near black through 17.7 s.
17.90 s: Boots descend lit stairs.
19.30 s: Fade; black from 19.25 s.
Intent vs result: blackdetect flags 16.25-17.75 s (dark spiral) and 19.25-20.0 s.
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 23 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] Across four takes the dark spiral between the close-up and the stairs is the consistent weak point (1.4-1.5 s of near-black).
