Seedance 2.5 live-action test: 12 s science-room take, a woman rises at the edge, then a close-up of a man in a red tee smiling
A wide science room with a woman seated at the right edge and a man in a red tee crossing; she rises, her blurred shoulder crosses the foreground, and the take holds a close-up of the man smiling, grinning and tilting his head before a filing cabinet.
Task: Stage a science-room exchange in which a seated woman rises at the right edge and the camera settles on a close of a man in a red tee smiling as one continuous live-action take of 12 s.
Outcome: succeeded
0.50 s: Wide: a woman seated at the right edge, a bookshelf, a filing cabinet and a window wall.
1.51 s: A man in a red tee walks across behind the shelf; she turns her head toward the left.
2.51 s: He stands at the centre; she leans forward at the right edge.
3.51 s: He stands with arms down; she rises at the right edge.
4.52 s: He stands behind her at the window; she stands at the right.
5.52 s: Her blurred shoulder crosses the left; he steps forward.
6.52 s: Close: he looks up with a slight smile, a cabinet behind.
7.53 s: Same; chin raised.
8.53 s: Same; smiling.
9.53 s: Same; grinning with his head tilted.
10.54 s: Same; head tilted to the side.
11.54 s: Same; he turns his head.
Intent vs result: The sampled frames match the plan: a woman at the near-right edge rises, her shoulder crosses the foreground and the take moves into a close-up of the man. The close-up holds for the last six samples. The linked inputs are recorded by count only; their disclosure and rights basis are unconfirmed, and the prompt asks that they set the faces and wardrobe of the people shown, so likeness is a hold. Spoken lines were requested and not heard.
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, linked reference inputs recorded in the job metadata (images that set the place, light, wardrobe and the people and one blocking video), a long structured prompt in a shot-by-shot format for one continuous live-action take with spoken lines requested, 12 s, 16:9, 720p label, audio requested, no seed set. One of a set of live-action school-scene runs on 25 September 2026 (UTC).

}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 crossing shoulder is an efficient way to move from a wide into a close-up.
