Set up the first draft
Choose original characters and locations. Describe one environmental motion rather than requesting an entire action sequence.
A possible starting point is Seedance 2.5. This is an editorial workflow suggestion, not a measured quality ranking. Confirm model availability, plan access and the current quote.
Three copyable shot briefs
Public-source guide. Briefs are original and untested; paid generation, render-time and authenticated MCP tests are not included.
ORIGINAL BRIEF / 01
The floating garden
Intended composition: One impossible feature gives the environment a clear identity.
ORIGINAL BRIEF / 02
The lantern harbor
Intended composition: A familiar small motion grounds the imagined setting.
ORIGINAL BRIEF / 03
The glass desert
Intended composition: A stable arch makes scale and motion easier to judge.
Change one thing next
| Observed problem | Next change to try |
|---|---|
| The world changes between frames | Choose one impossible feature and keep the rest still. |
| The scale is unclear | Add one simple stationary foreground object. |
| Too many effects compete | Remove secondary creatures, weather changes and camera moves. |
Before publishing
- The world follows one consistent visual rule.
- Scale stays readable.
- The setting and characters are original rather than copied from a franchise.
Keep the first run and every rejected run in your notes. Record the model, selected settings, reference files, quoted credits and the reason an output failed. If there are no acceptable outputs, leave cost per usable clip undefined.
