Seedance 2.5 golden-column throne hall with a 1.4 s dark spiral dip and fade out (20 s)
Golden version of the throne scene: hero at a golden table, throne dissolving into sparks, a close eye, a nearly dark spiral then steps and a fade to black.
Task: Same throne-room sequence in a gold-and-black palette.
Outcome: succeeded
0.63 s: Gold columns with a bright central floor reflection and a small throne.
4.38 s: Hero in black armour with a violet star on the chest rests a hand on a gold surface.
6.89 s: Hand ripples the gold surface.
8.14 s: Throne glows and breaks into sparks.
10.65 s: Eye close-up behind flame-coloured hair.
14.40 s: Concentric golden spiral on black.
15.66 s: Spiral fades to near black; stays dark to 17.74 s.
17.94 s: Feet descend steps lit by gold edges; fades by 19.35 s.
Intent vs result: blackdetect flags 16.375-17.79 s (the dark spiral) and 19.5-20.0 s (end fade). Mid-clip dip is a transition between the close-up and the stairs.
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] A dark spiral works as a transitional bridge but costs 1.4 s of near-black.
