Seedance 2.5 live-action test: 10 s camera dips behind a table-tennis table and rises to a low close-up of a young man against trees
A camera behind a blue table-tennis table with a man's arm and red paddle at the left edge and a young man with glasses and a white tee beyond it holding a black paddle, which dips, moves toward the table and rises to a low close-up of his face and shoulders against trees and sky.
Task: Stage a camera that starts behind a table-tennis table with a paddle at the edge of the frame, dips, pushes forward and rises to a low close-up of a young man against trees and sky as one continuous live-action take of 10 s.
Outcome: succeeded
0.42 s: A blue table-tennis table in the foreground with a man's arm and a red paddle at the left edge; the young man with glasses in a white tee stands beyond it holding a black paddle.
1.26 s: Same; a person in red moves behind the fence at the left.
2.09 s: Same; the paddle is held toward the left.
2.93 s: Same.
3.77 s: The camera dips and moves toward the table; he stands behind the net.
4.60 s: He stands, arms at his sides, the table's edge at the bottom.
5.44 s: The camera rises; he stands before trees and sky.
6.28 s: Low angle: he stands before trees and sky, a fence post at the left.
7.11 s: Low angle, closer: he looks forward, a chain-link fence at the upper left.
7.95 s: Same; closer.
8.79 s: Same; his face is lowered toward the camera.
9.62 s: Close: his face and shoulders against trees and sky.
Intent vs result: The sampled frames follow the plan: a table foreground, a dip and push, a rise to a low angle against trees and sky and a close finish on his face. The red paddle leaves the frame after about 3 s. 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, 10 s, 16:9, 480p 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 rising camera finish turns a plain standing figure into a heroic low-angle close-up.
