Recommended model: Seedance 2.5

Create a 15-second horizontal documentary moment at the end of a small poetry reading, using the two adults, room, and clothing colors in the user request. Use no recognizable poet, existing poem, event branding, or readable page text. Keep both people in one continuous medium shot, with their faces and clothing unchanged. Beat one (0–5s): the reader closes a plain notebook on a small lectern and says a quiet, natural "Thank you." The host waits to the right with open, relaxed hands; the audience begins a few soft claps off camera. Beat two (5–10s): the host steps forward and offers a right hand. The reader meets it for one brief handshake with two gentle pumps; slowly ease the camera closer while keeping both elbows visible and their hands anatomically clear. Beat three (10–15s): they release naturally, share a modest nod, and stand side by side as applause grows. Ease back to the original framing and hold the final two seconds. Retain warm room light, chair creaks, and believable room reverberation; no rapid cuts, dramatic aerial views, music, or subtitles. User request: An adult reader in an emerald shirt and an adult host in a tan cardigan finish a poetry evening in a small brick-walled library room, with a warm desk lamp and soft off-camera applause.

Prompting tips

  • Set 15 seconds and 16:9 in the generation controls; the prompt alone does not set these parameters
  • Use a generic thank-you and a blank notebook; keep both elbows visible during the handshake
  • Check that two right hands meet once, release cleanly and remain separate in the final frame

    No explicit reuse license for third-party prompts or sample media was found on the reference gallery. Its FAQ invites users to edit starters in CUTY Studio, but does not grant redistribution rights. Independently written workflow inspired only by the general idea; original author/source credit retained; no source prompt or media copied.

    Replaces the source frequent cuts and sweeping high angles with one continuous medium shot, notebook closure, one clearly staged handshake and a shared audience-facing pause. Uses new clothing and room details plus a generic thank-you; omits actual poems, named participants and reference-image identifiers. No source prompt or media copied. This is an independently written Seedance 2.5 workflow inspired by a Seedance 2.0 gallery topic, not a verified Seedance 2.5 generation.
