Seedance 2.5 text-only look test: 20 s blue arched hall, an ice anvil and hammer strikes, a pointed-ear portrait and a bearded man
A blue arched hall with an ice anvil: a pale figure at the left raising a hammer and a stout bearded figure at the right, hammer strikes on the anvil with sparks and snow, a close of a blue-skinned pointed-ear person frowning, a close of a bald bearded man in white fur, and a closing wide with the hammer raised.
Task: Render a blue arched hall with an ice anvil, a hammer strike with snow, a pointed-ear portrait and a bearded man's portrait as a severe-faced, designed-never-photographed look, at 20 s.
Outcome: succeeded

"procedure": "Seedance 2.5, text-only prompt (no linked inputs recorded in the job metadata), a long structured prompt that fixes a look target (severe, adult, angular faces with narrow heavy-lidded eyes, everything designed and never photographed) 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 29 August 2026 (UTC). Sampled inspection: 12 timestamped frames from 0.84 s to 19.23 s of a 20.06 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] Snow and sparks on a strike read clearly even at a small size.
