Workflow: (1) build assets first - character sheets on a plain grey background with one close-up and one full-body shot (he recommends GPT Image 2 at medium quality, 16:9, 2K; for his own likeness the prompt says preserve identity 100% and changes clothes); also object sheets (a vintage plane) iterated by prompt edits; (2) "meta prompting": paste a template prompt into ChatGPT with a short story idea and let it expand a detailed 30 s Seedance prompt; (3) in Seedance 2.5 select the sheets as references, set duration up to 30 s, and tag each reference to the matching role in the prompt (main character, companions, air...

He states generations still fail, details need fixing and serious production needs much control and human creativity. A generated dialogue line claims Seedance 2.5 supports up to 50 assets (30 images, 10 videos, 10 audio) - creator/ad copy, not verified against docs.

Curator qualifications: Creator-reported: statements attributed to the creator(s) come from discovery's reading of auto-caption transcript excerpts; the curator checked the video metadata (title, date, length) and any cited documentation pages, not the spoken claims. Nothing was tested; promotional or sponsored framing applies where stated. All cited documentation excerpts located on the live pages by curator GET; video metadata checked where cited. Creator video (auto-caption transcript excerpts read by discovery; promotional/affiliate); not curator-verified beyond video metadata.

Limitations: Sponsored; results not inspected; template prompt not captured (behind description/discount link).

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
