Seedance 2.5 text-only look test: 20 s tiered amphitheatre with a woman at a table, glowing red gems and two armoured men
A tiered amphitheatre around a pale disc: a woman in a dark suit at a table with glowing red gems, red light and swirls along a floor edge, a spiky grey-haired man with a spiked collar and a long-haired pointed-ear man.
Task: Render a woman at a round table with glowing red gems in a tiered amphitheatre, then a spiky grey-haired armoured man and a long-haired pointed-ear man as an anime-influenced look given real volume and light, at 20 s.
Outcome: succeeded
0.84 s: Wide: a tiered amphitheatre ring around a pale disc with a small octagonal object.
2.51 s: Same.
4.18 s: Same.
5.85 s: A woman in a dark suit at a table with glowing red gems in her hands.
7.52 s: Same.
9.19 s: Red light along a floor edge.
10.86 s: Red swirls along the edge.
12.53 s: A spiky grey-haired man in armour with a spiked collar, red-lit.
14.20 s: Closer, scowling.
15.87 s: A long-haired pointed-ear man, frontal and red-lit.
17.54 s: Same.
19.21 s: Same.
Intent vs result: The sampled frames follow the same beats as the sibling table runs; a tiered ring replaces the plain dark hall. The first three or more sampled frames show nearly the same picture.
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, text-only prompt (no linked image inputs recorded in the job metadata), a long structured prompt that fixes a look target (anime-influenced character design kept intact, given real volume and light, with negatives against photoreal skin and a live-action look) 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.",

"limitations": [
"Sampled visual inspection from timestamped frames (contact sheets), not full real-time playback; motion smoothness, micro-timing and lip-sync are unrated.",
"Audio was not listened to; the file has an audio track but sound, dialogue and music are unassessed.",
"Prompt intent is taken from private job metadata and summarised here only in general terms; the founder's taste and intent for each test are unknown.",
"Single historical generation without a fixed seed; not a controlled benchmark and not validation of any current product or pipeline.",
"Request vs picture: the prompt asks for stylised faces and excludes photographic skin, but the people in the sampled frames read as photographic faces at this size."

}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] Tiered seating adds depth cues to a hall that is otherwise dark.
