Seedance 2.5 live-action test: 15 s tight handheld close-up of a young woman with a flying disc on school steps, looking up, then over a railing
A tight handheld close-up of a young woman with a ponytail looking down at a yellow flying disc before red brick, then lifting her face and eyes upward with parted lips, ending as she goes over a white railing above a lawn.
Task: Stage a young woman on school steps who looks at a flying disc, looks up and then goes over a railing, in a tight handheld close-up as one continuous live-action take of 15 s.
Outcome: succeeded
0.63 s: Close: a young woman with a ponytail looks down at a yellow flying disc at the lower right, red brick behind her.
1.88 s: Same; eyes narrowed, looking down.
3.14 s: She looks off to the right, the disc out of view.
4.39 s: Closer; her face tilts, brow furrowed, warm light at the left.
5.64 s: Closer still.
6.90 s: Her chin lifts and her face tilts up.
8.15 s: Close: her eyes look upward, mouth closed, soft green background.
9.41 s: Same.
10.66 s: Her mouth is slightly open, eyes up.
11.91 s: Same; lips parted.
13.17 s: Same; lawn and trees behind her.
14.42 s: Her legs and torso go over a white railing, a lawn behind.
Intent vs result: The sampled frames show one person throughout, the disc in the first two to three samples only, and the closing climb over the railing. The throw itself is not seen at the sampled times. 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, 480p label, audio requested, no seed set. One of a set of live-action school-scene runs on 23 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 face held tight while it follows something out of frame makes the unseen object the subject.
