Seedance 2.5 live-action test: 11 s school-hallway take, a man seen from behind at a trophy case turns, smiles and leaves right
A slightly elevated view of a man in a red tee standing with his back to us before a lit trophy case, holding the pose for about seven seconds, then turning his head and shoulders toward the camera, smiling, and leaving at the right edge.
Task: Stage a man in a red tee seen from behind at a trophy case who turns toward the camera and leaves at the right edge as one continuous live-action take of 11 s.
Outcome: succeeded
0.46 s: A man in a red tee seen from behind stands before a lit trophy case.
1.38 s: Same; he stands still.
2.30 s: Same.
3.22 s: Same.
4.14 s: His head turns slightly.
5.06 s: Same.
5.98 s: Same.
6.90 s: He stands still, weight on one leg.
7.82 s: He turns his head to the left, cases at the right.
8.74 s: He turns toward the camera over his shoulder, smiling.
9.66 s: He faces the camera, smiling.
10.58 s: He leaves at the right edge.
Intent vs result: The sampled frames hold the back view for about seven seconds and then show the turn and exit the plan describes; no second person appears, as the prompt asks. 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.

}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 long held pose followed by a late turn makes a short take feel paced.
