Seedance 2.5 reference-anchored test: 30 s walkthrough of a beachfront house from aerial to a dark car gallery
A 30 s tour: aerial of a seaside house at sunset, pool and facade, a numbered entrance wall, dining hall, lounge, infinity pool, long hall, kitchen, two bedrooms, then a dark glass-walled car gallery.
Task: A walkthrough of a luxury beachfront residence moving through its exterior and interior spaces.
Outcome: succeeded
1.25 s: Aerial: a modern house on a beach spit at sunset.
3.76 s: Facade beside a still pool and lawn.
6.26 s: Plain stone wall with a dark door and the numeral 1.
8.76 s: Dining room with a long table and glass wall to the sea.
11.27 s: Lounge with two sofas and a low table.
13.77 s: Infinity pool edge meeting the sea.
16.27 s: Long timber-ceilinged hall with a chandelier and a long table.
18.78 s: Kitchen with a stone island and pendant lamps.
21.28 s: Bedroom with a courtyard tree through glass.
23.78 s: Second bedroom with a sea view at dusk.
26.29 s: Dark glass-walled room with parked cars.
28.79 s: Dark showroom with ceiling light strips and cars along the walls.
Intent vs result: The sampled frames show about twelve distinct spaces in order, each in a consistent warm stone-and-timber finish. Whether the rooms stay geometrically consistent between shots cannot be judged from one frame each.
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] A 30 s clip can carry a room-by-room tour, with each space shown for roughly 2.5 s in the sampled frames.
