Seedance 2.5 style test: 15 s dojo sparring in a 'minimalist hand-painted' look that reads as soft 3D
Curly-haired student against a bulky rival in a blue-lit dojo: coach from behind, a grip, footwork, a bright flare and a throw.
Task: Re-tell the same short dojo sparring story in a different character-design language, at 15 s.
Outcome: succeeded
0.63 s: Coach's head from behind and far-off sparring.
1.88 s: Two fighters in a dim hall.
4.40 s: Close grip two-shot, curly-haired student.
8.16 s: Feet in wide stances.
9.42 s: A bright flare fills the right side.
11.93 s: The rival lifts the student.
13.19 s: The rival tips over.
14.44 s: The rival on the floor, the student standing.
Intent vs result: The prompt asked for chunky brush strokes; in the sampled frames the picture reads as soft shaded 3D with little visible brushwork. The sampled frames reach the same throw arc as the other versions.
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.

"procedure": "Seedance 2.5, one reference still that defines character-design language only, a long structured prompt (one scene, a fixed cast and a shot-by-shot format), 15 s, audio requested, no seed set.

}Evidence claims
- [sourced_fact] Timestamped observations above come from viewing 12 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 named painting style may not show as visible strokes; check frames against the intended look.
