Seedance 2.5 Prompt Guide

Example Prompt

A young East Asian woman in a grey sleeveless top with thin silver hoop earrings, soft overcast light, blurred coastal background, and subtle handheld camera drift. Her hair moves gently in the wind. 1. She holds back a cry, lips pressed tight, chin trembling, tears filling her eyes. 2. She breaks into a sob. Tears roll down her cheeks as she closes her eyes and lowers her head. 3. Her shirt collar is pulled upward from below frame, covering her chin, mouth, and nose with realistic fabric deformation. No hands or arms appear. 4. The fabric falls back naturally. She looks downward, exhausted, breathing heavily with tears still on her face.

Example Prompt

Use @Image1 as the opening keyframe and @Image2 as the final keyframe. Maintain the little girl's character design and the warm, dreamy 3D animated style throughout. Create a 30-second fantasy animated short film with smooth cinematic transitions, continuous character motion, and a warm, fairytale-like atmosphere. 0–3s — Bedroom Start from the overhead bedroom composition in @Image1. Slowly push toward the little girl sitting on the carpet with a toy airplane. She stands, turns left, and throws the airplane forward. As it flies toward the camera, the sound transforms from a toy airplane into a real engine, with gentle cheerful music beginning underneath. 3–8s — Fantasy Sky The airplane carries the girl into a magical sunset sky. The camera follows from the side and slowly orbits around her. She flies through glowing clouds alongside strange birds, a white dragon, a winged horse, and a flying whale, with floating islands in the distance. 8–19s — Underwater to Space The airplane dives toward the ocean and the girl falls underwater in a burst of bubbles. Wearing a bubble-shaped oxygen helmet, she swims deeper until a manta ray carries her through a colorful underwater world. Ahead, a huge space-time rift appears like shattered mirrors surrounding a glowing galaxy. She is pulled through it into a fantasy universe. 19–23s — Fantasy Universe Her outfit transforms into a spacesuit. She jumps between small planets, reaches forward, and catches a glowing star. 23–28s — Return to Bedroom The fantasy world flips and dissolves into the overhead bedroom from @Image1. The girl is now asleep on the carpet, still holding the star-catching pose. A toy airplane and space-themed picture book lie beside her. Her father enters and gently covers her with a blanket as the lighting shifts from warm dusk to cool moonlight. 28–30s — Final Frame The camera slowly pushes toward the picture book. Her father gently closes it with his right hand. Transition naturally into the exact final composition of @Image2, then hold on the final frame. Style & Consistency: High-quality 3D animation, dreamy fairytale atmosphere, cinematic color, soft volumetric lighting, smooth camera movement, natural long-take transitions, consistent character proportions and appearance, expressive but natural emotions, and continuous motion throughout. Avoid abrupt cuts, character drift, flickering, or inconsistent visual style.

Example Prompt

References @Image1 = 9-panel storyboard for shot order, framing, and camera rhythm. @Image2 = dusk grassland rocket-launch site, environment, composition, and lighting. @Image3 = guardian robot appearance. @Image4 = elderly grandmother appearance. Subjects Guardian robot: follow @Image3. Tall weathered retro-futuristic robot with blue-green metal, rust, domed head, red camera eyes, antennas, and slender limbs; about twice human height. Grandmother: follow @Image4. Frail elderly woman with silver hair in a low bun, deep wrinkles, and a bright gold floor-length embroidered dress. She reaches roughly the robot's chest. Environment & Style Follow @Image2: vast grassland at dusk, warm golden sunset fading into cool blue twilight, distant launch tower and white rocket, steam rising, tall grass moving in the wind. Photorealistic live-action cinematic look, color 35mm film grain, rich grading, IMAX feel, shallow depth of field, subtle handheld movement, drifting grass, sparks and ash. Emotional disaster-film atmosphere: quiet, tragic, protective. Avoid black-and-white, illustration, animation, storyboard/sketch style, miniature/toy look, plastic CG, or glossy CGI. 9-Shot Timeline — ~30s 0–3s — Extreme Wide Ultra-low ground-level shot across the grassland. Foreground grass sways out of focus as warm lens flare crosses the frame. 3–6s — Medium The robot supports the elderly woman. 6–10s — Close-Up The grandmother looks toward the rocket, reluctant and sorrowful. Dialogue: "Fly safe, my child. Come back to me." 10–14s — Extreme Wide The rocket launches, leaving a thick white smoke trail. Dialogue: "There he goes... there he goes." 14–18s — Extreme Wide The rocket suddenly explodes and breaks apart in the sky. Dialogue: "No... no, no—" 18–22s — Extreme Close-Up Her pupils contract and tears fall. Dialogue: "...he was almost there." 22–25s — Close-Up She breaks down crying. Dialogue: "Bring him back! Please—bring him back!" 25–28s — Low Angle The robot wraps around her protectively. Robot: "Don't look up. I've got you." 28–30s — Extreme Wide Rear Shot They embrace in silhouette beneath the darkening sky. Robot: "I'm still here. I'll stay... as long as you need."

Example Prompt

Preserve the composition, camera position, lighting, and performance rhythm of @Video 1. Only modify the female lead's appearance and expression: let her naturally age from her twenties to around sixty. The restraint in her eyes gradually softens, tears slide past the corners of her eyes, and the corners of her mouth slowly lift until she finally smiles through her tears. The entire video should be a continuous one-shot, with no jump cuts and no flickering. Her facial features should gradually age without drifting or changing identity.

Example Prompt

Extend @Video 1 by 5 seconds. A bee flies in and lands on the flower. Then, in a macro close-up, its legs and abdomen are covered with golden pollen particles. The bee flaps its wings and takes off, and the camera follows it as it flies toward another flower of the same species. In slow motion, pollen shakes loose from the bee's fine hairs and falls precisely into the flower's stamen, magnifying the moment of pollination.
