A girl at a desk stands and walks toward the camera, then the view swings over her shoulder as a man in a red graphic tee approaches and talks; she walks to a door.

Task: A school science room: a seated girl, a man in a red graphic tee entering, an exchange of looks and a move to a door.

Outcome: succeeded

0.75 s: Wide of a sunlit lab: girl at a desk, chin on hand; a man in a red tee and khakis walks at the back.
3.76 s: She stands and walks toward the camera.
5.27 s: Medium close on her as she passes a filing cabinet.
6.77 s: Over her shoulder (ponytail in frame): the man walks toward her.
9.78 s: He stands and speaks.
12.79 s: He gestures near a desk.
14.30 s: She walks toward a white door at right.

Intent vs result: The camera swings from a wide to an over-the-shoulder view; the man's printed circular emblem tee stays consistent in sampled frames (print text illegible at this size). The grey-peg input for this take was not separately viewed.

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 text-and-reference video generation with a grey-peg motion video (a rendered blocking pre-visualisation that fixes camera path and positions), several approved scene stills and per-character face/front/back reference photos, plus a long structured prompt (look statement, reference-use rules, cast, camera, ordered choreography, continuity, sound). Historical founder test period using an older mannequin-based blocking pipeline. Sampled inspection: 10 timestamped frames from 0.75 s to 14.30 s of a 15.05 s file, plus ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 and blackdetect.",

    "Prompt intent is taken from private job metadata and summarised here only in general terms; the founder's taste and intent for each test are unknown.",

Evidence claims:
- [sourced_fact] Timestamped observations above come from viewing 10 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] Costume graphic and identities hold through camera swings.
