Coffee Commercial Sequence
Plan a coffee-focused commercial sequence around supplied visual inputs, using close details and shot progression for the product story.
Style: 8K photorealistic cinematic commercial, epic coffee montage. Ultra-shallow macro DOF (f/1.4), creamy bokeh, warm amber grade, forest-green + coral brand accents. Cine lens feel, 180° shutter motion blur. Edgar Wright-style kinetic editing. Speed ramps snap from fast motion to ultra slow-mo at impact points. Real physics and weight. Deadpan Hollywood acting. Characters, props and café identical in every cut. Audio: NO music anywhere in the film. The entire soundtrack is hyper-real, ASMR-level sound design — drawer roll, bean rattle, grinder crunch, kettle hiss, bloom fizz, liquid pours, drip plinks, ice rattle, cup slides — crisp, close-mic'd, frame-synced, layering louder as the cuts accelerate, then falling to near-silent café room tone (fan hum, distant dishes) at the presentation. Clean dialogue; slogan VO at the end. 24fps, no subtitles, no on-screen text.
Characters: barista — early-20s man, black curls under a black cap, white earbuds in BOTH ears the entire film, khaki tee, forest-green bib apron, black trousers. Performs the brew with the solemn intensity of a concert soloist — precise and ceremonial. skater — teenage boy, shaggy black hair, sage windbreaker over black hoodie, baggy grey cargos, skateboard under his arm. Total stone face, calm slow movements. worker — heavyset construction worker, navy jacket, tan work pants, yellow hard hat under his arm. Tired, second in line. woman — young woman with a shoulder bag third in line.
Scene: Café interior from [%#[image1]#%]cafe. barista runs a slow-drip pour-over station: glass carafe, filter cone, gooseneck kettle, grinder, and a counter drawer holding the bag from coffee-bag. The finished iced coffee is in [%#[image2]#%]caffee. Queue: skater first in line and worker and woman behind him.
CUT 1 (0:00–0:03) — Top-down tracking close-up: the counter drawer is pulled down toward the bottom of frame, camera tracking the pull; a single coffee-bag lies flat on its back inside the empty white drawer with nothing else in it. barista's hand grabs the bag and in a quick motion lifts it up toward the lens until dark fills the frame. TRANSITION: the cut hides inside the dark frame-fill.
CUT 2 (0:03–0:06) — Laowa probe lens macro dolly-out, pulling out of the bag's open mouth as beans cascade past the lens in ultra slow-motion into the grinder hopper below. TRANSITION: the camera whips DOWN with the falling beans.
CUT 3 (0:06–0:08) — Enters on the same downward plunge: macro on the grinder's spout as fresh ground coffee streams out of it like dark sand, backlit, piling into a soft mound in the dosing cup below — slow-motion on the flowing grounds, fine particles drifting in the light. TRANSITION: speed ramping orbit to the right.
Give a fox a restrained performance through breathing, blinking, and a small head turn from an opening image.
Use image 1 as the opening frame. The same fox breathes gently, blinks, and turns its head slightly toward the camera. Fine snow falls slowly. Keep the fox, scarf, body proportions and snowy setting consistent. One continuous shot, a subtle camera push-in, no new animals, no cuts, no text.
Animate a performer’s head and hand movements within the stage-screen scene established by the input image.
Use image 1 as the first frame. The performer on the stage screen turns her head slightly and makes a small natural hand gesture. Keep the pink stage lights, LED screen and audience silhouettes consistent. One continuous audience-view shot with a fixed camera. No new people, no cuts and no text.

PROMPT GUIDE
How to Direct Seedance 1.0 Pro with a Prompt
Learn from the actual instructions behind these results. Each example keeps its complete original prompt and available inputs. For a new request, replace its subject and reference assignments with your own.
Add Motion to the Environment
Identify the environmental element that moves while the composition remains recognizable. In this case: “A soft patch of window light moves slowly across the linen cloth while the camera makes a gentle push-in.”
Use image 1 as the first frame. Keep the blue teapot and two cups unchanged in shape, color and placement. A soft patch of window light moves slowly across the linen cloth while the camera makes a gentle push-in. One uninterrupted product shot, realistic shadows, no new objects, no cuts and no text.
Describe How the Framing Changes
Name the camera movement and the part of the subject or environment it should reveal. In this case: “One continuous shot with a gentle camera push-in.”
Use image 1 as the opening frame. The same illustrated character at the desk makes one small hand gesture and looks up briefly. Preserve the drawing style, face, glasses, clothing, desk and background. One continuous shot with a gentle camera push-in. No new people, no cuts and no text overlays.
Put the Events in Order
Describe what happens first and how the next action or reveal follows it. In this case: “The same dog in the chef outfit makes one small stirring movement at the kitchen counter, then looks toward the camera.”
Use image 1 as the opening frame. The same dog in the chef outfit makes one small stirring movement at the kitchen counter, then looks toward the camera. Keep the dog identity, clothing, vegetables and kitchen layout consistent. One continuous medium shot, a stable camera, no scene changes and no text overlays.
