Seedance 2.5 live-action test: 15 s lawn table-tennis exchange, a capped man falls as a woman walks away, a man seen from behind
Over a man's white-tee shoulder, a blue table-tennis table on a lawn; a capped man in a grey sleeveless top holds a paddle, a woman in a dark tee stands on the path beyond, he falls backward and she walks away up the lawn.
Task: Stage a table-tennis exchange on a lawn: a capped man falls dramatically as a young woman walks away, watched by a man seen from behind as one continuous live-action take of 15 s.
Outcome: succeeded
0.63 s: A man's white-tee back at the near left, a blue table, a woman in a dark tee at the left beyond it and a capped man in a grey sleeveless top at the right.
1.88 s: Same.
3.14 s: The capped man holds a red paddle toward her.
4.39 s: Same.
5.64 s: She walks toward the left; he turns.
6.90 s: He leans back as she steps away.
8.15 s: He falls backward, the red paddle in the air; she stands at the left.
9.41 s: He lies on the ground behind the table; she walks away on the path.
10.66 s: She walks away; the near man's shoulder at the left.
11.91 s: She walks farther; the near man turns his head.
13.17 s: She is a small figure at the top of the lawn; the near man in profile with glasses at the left.
14.42 s: Wide: lawn, a bench at the top, the table; the capped man lies behind it.
Intent vs result: The sampled frames follow the order the prompt describes: a paddle gesture, a fall behind the table, a woman walking away and the near man turning his head. The near man never turns around. 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 fixed foreground shoulder gives a staged comic exchange a clear point of view.
