Seedance 2.5 sequence run with one linked image: 20 s cobalt-violet drowned road, ghostly mist figures, a swordsman and a pale pointed-ear woman
A cobalt-violet drowned road under black trunks: translucent violet figures at the sides that grow larger and billow, a dark-haired man with a sword and a pale pointed-ear woman wading through the mist, a close of the man with ember lights, a close of the woman, and the pair walking in mist before a lone small figure.
Task: Render a dark swordsman and a pale pointed-ear woman wading a drowned road through mist as a cobalt night painting, at 20 s.
Outcome: succeeded
0.84 s: A cobalt-violet drowned road under black trunks: translucent violet figures at the sides, a dark man with a sword and a pale pointed-ear woman.
2.51 s: The violet figures are larger.
4.18 s: They billow.
5.85 s: Mist rises, the two wade through.
7.52 s: Same.
9.19 s: Close: a dark-haired man, stern, ember lights at the right.
10.86 s: Same.
12.53 s: Close: a pale blue-skinned pointed-ear woman, lips parted.
14.20 s: Same.
15.87 s: The two walk in mist.
17.54 s: Same.
19.21 s: A lone small figure in mist.
Intent vs result: The sampled frames follow a wide, a close-up of each of two characters at about 9.2 to 14.2 s and a closing two-shot at about 15.9 to 19.2 s. The closing frame shows one small figure. One linked image input is recorded; its disclosure and rights basis are unconfirmed. At this size the palette and medium read as consistent with the linked reference image (compared locally by H01; the image is not reproduced).
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, one linked image input (a style reference; the prompt asks to take only its medium, palette and light), a long structured prompt with one scene in four parts (a wide of about 8 s, a close-up of each of two characters of about 4 s requesting spoken lines, and a closing two-shot) and a stated look target (a cobalt night painting), 20 s, 16:9, audio requested, no seed set. One of a set of sequence runs on 31 August 2026 (UTC). Whether the requested lines were spoken was not checked (audio not listened to). 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] Violet ghosts that grow with the mist make the wide a slow reveal.
