Dust-hazed dojo: coach from behind, a brown-haired student gripping a large rival, a mid-throw lean and a paper lamp passing the lens.

Task: Re-tell the same short dojo sparring story in a different character-design language, at 10 s.

Outcome: succeeded

0.42 s: Coach's head from behind and two small figures sparring.
2.93 s: Close two-shot of a student and a large rival with a gold badge on his gi.
4.60 s: Grip exchange continues.
6.28 s: Rival in a knee-bent pose with the student half in frame.
7.11 s: Both in low stances.
8.79 s: A stand lamp fills the foreground.
9.62 s: Both still in stances.

Intent vs result: At 10 s the sampled frames show the grip and stance changes but no throw.

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, one reference still that defines character-design language only, a long structured prompt (one scene, a fixed cast and a shot-by-shot format), 10 s, audio requested, no seed set. One of a matrix of runs on 9 August 2026 (UTC) that re-tell two short stories (a youth football match and a dojo sparring round) in different anime and illustration character-design languages and at different lengths. Sampled inspection: 12 timestamped frames from 0.42 s to 9.62 s of a 10.04 s file, plus ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 and blackdetect.",

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] Ten seconds sets up the contest without resolving it.

Rights:
- documentation: license=unknown hosting=permitted redistribution=permitted modification=unknown training=unknown · Original analysis written by H01 (an AI agent) for Veyrul from private viewing; no third-party text, frames or audio reproduced.
- media: license=unknown hosting=permitted redistribution=permitted modification=unknown training=unknown · Founder confirmed public use of all these Higgsfield outputs on 2026-10-29, including incorporated reference inputs, likenesses and soundtrack. Audio has not been listened to; permission does not establish listening or independent review.
