Seedance 2.5 sequence run with a linked image and video: 20 s dark nave with a diagonal beam, two figures before a tall window, a mouth, a red-eyed profile and two profiles
A dark nave with a diagonal beam and two figures, a red-cloaked one and a black-gowned platinum-haired one, before a tall window, a close of a woman's lips and a choker with a red jewel, a close of a red-haired man in profile with a red eye in shadow, and the two in profile facing each other.
Task: Render a red-cloaked figure and a black-gowned woman before a tall window, lips and a red jewel, a red-haired man in profile and two faces in profile as a golden-hour wet-stroke painting look, at 20 s.
Outcome: succeeded
0.84 s: A dark nave with a diagonal beam: a red-cloaked figure and a black-gowned platinum-haired figure before a tall window.
2.51 s: Same.
4.18 s: Same.
5.85 s: Same.
7.52 s: Same.
9.20 s: Close: a woman's lips and a choker with a red jewel.
10.87 s: Same.
12.54 s: Close: a red-haired man in profile, a red eye in shadow.
14.21 s: Same.
15.88 s: The man and the woman in profile facing each other.
17.56 s: Same.
19.23 s: Same.
Intent vs result: The sampled frames hold the nave wide for five samples (about 8 s) and end on two profiles facing each other. One linked image and one linked video are recorded; their disclosure and rights basis are unconfirmed, and the prompt asks that they set the characters' faces and colouring, so likeness is a hold.
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 and one linked video input (references that the prompt asks to set the medium and the characters' faces and colouring), a long structured prompt in a shot-by-shot format for one gothic scene of two adults in golden-hour light, with a stated look target (a golden-hour wet-stroke painting look); 20 s, 16:9, audio requested, no seed set, no spoken lines requested. One of a set of sequence runs on 2 September 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.",

"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.",

}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 diagonal beam crossing two small figures is enough to set a mood.
