Seedance 2.5 red-curtain corridor, torches ignite and the hero closes in (20 s)
A near-dark corridor of red curtains where a figure walks in, torches flare, the hero is shown in close frontal shots and a long corridor wide ends the clip.
Task: A long red-curtained corridor with torches and the central character approaching.
Outcome: succeeded
0.05 s: Very dark corridor with red curtains converging; no character visible.
1.88 s: A red-haired figure appears at the foot of the frame, then walks away down the corridor by 3.13 s.
4.66 s: A fire bowl flares at the left edge.
6.90 s: Torches line both sides; reflections on a glossy floor.
9.40 s: The red-haired, spike-armoured character fills the lower frame, facing camera.
14.42 s: Wide down the corridor with a faint figure at the end.
19.44 s: Torch-lined corridor held to the end.
Intent vs result: blackdetect flags 0.00-4.71 s, but the opening frames show a faint corridor; it is dark picture, not black. No detector cuts at 0.30 despite the clear reframes at about 9 and 14 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 slow reveal from very low light is flagged as black; the real content starts about 1.9 s in.
