Seedance 2.5 live-action test: 17 s table-tennis exchange, a capped man gestures, clutches his chest and drops out of frame
A view at a blue table-tennis table where a man in a grey sleeveless top and a blue cap with a red paddle points, crouches, smiles at the camera, widens his eyes, presses a hand to his chest and looks up, then drops out of the lower edge of the frame, leaving a young man in a white tee beyond the table with a court and fence behind.
Task: Stage an over-the-shoulder view at a table-tennis table in which a man in a cap reacts and clutches his chest, then drops out of frame, ending on a young man in white as one continuous live-action take of 17 s.
Outcome: succeeded
0.71 s: At a blue table: a man in a grey sleeveless top and a blue cap holds a red paddle at the left; a young man in a white tee holds a black paddle beyond the net; a court and fence behind.
2.13 s: The capped man points his paddle toward the left.
3.55 s: He crouches over the table, the red paddle raised.
4.97 s: He smiles broadly, turning toward the camera.
6.39 s: Same; he stands with his hand on the table.
7.81 s: He looks up with an open mouth, wide-eyed.
9.23 s: He presses his hand to his chest, looking up.
10.65 s: Same; his face tilts upward.
12.07 s: He is out of frame; the young man in white stands beyond the table, people far behind.
13.49 s: Same; a figure is low at the right edge.
14.91 s: Same; a figure is low on the grass at the right.
16.33 s: Same.
Intent vs result: The sampled frames follow the plan: a capped man's exaggerated reactions, a chest-clutching moment and a drop out of the lower edge, finishing on the young man in white. 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, 17 s, 16:9, 480p label, audio requested, no seed set.

}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 comic collapse out of frame leaves a still figure to finish the shot on.
