Seedance 2.5 style test: 10 s football story in cinematic manhwa digital painting
Dusk-lit painted pitch: spectators in grey and blue hoodies, a long shot of a number 10, the ball in the sky, a slide tackle by a maroon-27 rival.
Task: Re-tell the same short youth football story in a different character-design language, at 10 s.
Outcome: succeeded
0.42 s: Two spectators from behind at a fence under a dusk sky.
3.78 s: Number-10 player under a high ball at sunset.
5.46 s: Player controls the ball with the sun behind.
6.30 s: Boot and ball in long grass.
8.82 s: A rival's leg slides in with a red shirt number in view.
9.66 s: The slide tackle continues, ball between the players.
Intent vs result: At 10 s the story stops partway through the opening tackle in the sampled frames; the goal, keeper and ending beats of the 20 s versions are not shown.
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 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] Dusk colour and a lens-flare sun are used to set mood in the sampled frames.
