Seedance 2.5 text-only look test: 20 s night road, a gothic cathedral, a bicycle with white feathers and a red-haired man with a torn drawing
A misty night road with a street lamp and a distant gothic cathedral: a white mound and a bicycle on the grass, a street-name sign, a bicycle beside a heap of white feathers, a red-haired man holding a torn drawing with an amber-lit eye and a standing figure before the cathedral.
Task: Render a night road before a gothic cathedral with a bicycle beside a heap of white feathers, a street sign and a red-haired man tearing a child's drawing as an anime character design look given real volume and light, at 20 s.
Outcome: succeeded

"procedure": "Seedance 2.5, text-only prompt (no linked image inputs recorded in the job metadata), a long structured prompt that fixes a look target (anime character design kept intact, given real volume and light, composed like film) and a scene with a shot-by-shot format, 20 s, 16:9, audio requested, no seed set. One of a set of look-target runs on 27 August 2026 (UTC). Sampled inspection: 12 timestamped frames from 0.84 s to 19.21 s of a 20.04 s file, plus ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 and blackdetect.",

}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 toppled bicycle next to feathers carries the story without a face in frame.
