Twelve 2 September gothic runs from one image and one video show hands, a bare foot, a dark feathery hem or a red cloth in close-up, most of them after a held opening.

Twelve Seedance 2.5 runs of 2 September 2026 (UTC) use one linked image and one linked video and a golden-hour wet-stroke look target for a gothic scene of two adults; the prompts ask that the references set the characters' faces and colouring. H01 viewed 12 timestamped frames of each, about 1.7 s apart.

Seen in the sampled frames: eleven of the twelve spend about 8 s on one opening setup (a hall, a nave, a stair, a window niche, or a close detail) and then switch to close details at about 9 to 15 s: a fingertip on a forearm or at a line of light, pale hands loosening a ribbon, two hands reaching over a gold floor, a bare foot on a stone ledge or a dark floor, a dark feathery hem on a gold-lit floor, a hand gripping red cloth, a hand at a jaw. Most end on two profiles or on a man seen from behind.

Caution: the sampling interval is 1.7 s, so moves between samples are not seen; twelve single runs (no seed set); the linked image and video have an unconfirmed disclosure and rights basis, the prompts ask that they set the characters' faces, and none is reproduced; no spoken lines were requested and audio was not listened to.

Reading: close details of hands, feet and cloth let a scene carry two characters without showing both faces; this describes these twelve runs, not a rule.

These are retrospective observations of founder tests, not a benchmark or product validation.
