Seedance 2.5 reference-anchored test: 20 s winged cyclist riding through a daisy field under pylons
Side tracking: a man in a white shirt and tie with white wings cycling through daisies, pylons and wires behind, and an empty field at the end.
Task: A daisy field under power pylons.
Outcome: succeeded
0.84 s: A man in a white shirt and tie with white wings rides a bicycle through a daisy field, pylons behind.
4.18 s: Closer: the wings spread behind him.
9.20 s: Wings and tie blow back as he rides.
14.21 s: Wings and bike seen from the side.
17.56 s: He rides toward the camera.
19.23 s: The rider has left; only a wing tip shows at the right edge.
Intent vs result: The sampled frames follow a tracking ride across the field; the detector found no transitions. Wings and bicycle stay consistent across samples.
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 side-tracking ride keeps a surreal prop (wings) in view; the ending leaves an empty frame.
