Seedance 2.5 live-action test: 15 s school-hallway take, a camera follows a woman and a man to a trophy case, he turns to her
A school hallway in which a man in a red tee walks away from the camera toward a trophy case and a woman's ponytail and shoulder enter the near left; he reaches the case, turns, faces her and speaks, and the take ends as she passes the lens at the right.
Task: Stage a school hallway in which a camera follows a woman behind a man to a trophy case, the man turns to her and she passes the lens as one continuous live-action take of 15 s.
Outcome: succeeded
0.63 s: A hallway: a man in a red tee walks away from the camera toward a trophy case at the far end.
1.88 s: A woman's ponytail and shoulder enter at the left foreground.
3.13 s: She walks behind him toward the case; he is small.
4.39 s: Same; she is near-left, the man at the case.
5.64 s: Same.
6.89 s: He stands at the case, turning slightly.
8.15 s: He turns to face the camera at the case.
9.40 s: He stands facing her at the case.
10.65 s: He is closer, mouth open.
11.91 s: He faces the camera; a faint second figure beside him that may be a reflection in the case glass.
13.16 s: He stands facing her, closer.
14.41 s: She passes the lens at the right; an empty hallway.
Intent vs result: The sampled frames follow the plan: a follow from behind, the man's turn at the case and the woman's pass at the right. A faint figure beside him at about 11.9 s is probably a reflection in the case glass. 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, 15 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 follow from behind keeps the audience in the walker's position until the turn.
