Seedance 2.5 two-armies parley under a dead tree, bookended wide and black tail (20 s)
Painterly-realistic fantasy standoff: a lone kneeling figure between two armies, riders on either side of a dead tree, a blade cross and a repeat of the opening wide before a 1.25 s black tail.
Task: A kneeling figure between two massed armies, a parley under a dead tree and a blade encounter.
Outcome: succeeded
0.63 s: Wide: two long ranks of soldiers frame an avenue; a dead tree stands in the distance and a lone figure kneels in the foreground under a stormy sky.
3.13 s: Low shot at the base of the dead tree in front of a rank of spears and banners.
5.64 s: A cloaked horseman between round shields and banners.
8.15 s: A knight in pale armour on a white horse holds a helmet.
10.66 s: Two riders face each other on either side of the tree.
13.17 s: Wide again with both riders at the tree and the kneeling figure unchanged.
15.68 s: Extreme close-up of crossed blade and hilt.
18.18 s: Back to the opening wide; fade to black from 18.75 s.
Intent vs result: Detector counts 7 cuts. The final shot returns to the opening composition, so the clip is bookended; the black tail is 1.25 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 19 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 bookended wide gives a 20 s clip closure; the black tail after it is dead time.
