Looks like old camcorder footage from a beach trip, with a talking chimp punchline. Four stills lock every face, then one timed Seedance 2.5 prompt runs the whole take.
Reference Assets 4 used




The video prompt's reference map also names a man and chimp on surfboards frame; the thread has no prompt for that one.
Prompts: 5 Steps
Make the four stills in GPT Image 2.5 first, then upload them to Seedance 2.5 in reference mode with the video prompt. The thread's prompts cover the 16 second take; the beach and lounger shots at the end of the 23 second clip have no prompt.
01Woman character sheet
Four-panel character reference sheet on a seamless grey studio background, even soft lighting, photorealistic. Panel 1: tight face close-up. Panels 2 to 4: full-body front, side profile and back views, same pose and framing in each. Woman in her 20s with green eyes, thick brows, freckles, rosy blush and glossy lips. Long dark curly hair, slightly damp. She wears a turquoise bandana with a large orange-brown sunflower print, tortoiseshell sunglasses resting on top, gold starfish earrings, a white puka shell necklace, a thin gold bracelet and small rings. Outfit: black athletic racerback one-piece swimsuit with boyshort legs and a small white "arena" logo on the chest. Barefoot, sun-tanned skin with a light wet sheen. Neutral standing pose, relaxed arms, calm expression. Sharp focus, consistent identity and outfit across all four panels. Aspect ratio 16:9.
02Her first frame
Use the attached character sheet as the exact reference for the woman, her outfit and accessories. Keep everything identical to the sheet: her face, green eyes, thick brows, freckles, rosy cheeks, long dark curly hair, the turquoise bandana with the large orange sunflower print tied over her head, the tortoiseshell sunglasses resting on top of the bandana, golden starfish earrings, white puka shell necklace, thin gold bracelet and rings, and her black racerback one-piece swimsuit with boyshort legs and the small white logo on the chest. Do not change her clothing or accessories. Scene: a candid family-vacation snapshot. She sits on a white paddleboard floating in shallow, clear turquoise water, with sandy seabed and seagrass patches visible below. The calm ocean horizon sits high in the frame under a pale hazy sky. Pose and mood: relaxed and joyful. One hand is raised, adjusting her bandana. She is laughing with her eyes closed and her face tilted toward the sun, like she was just splashed by a friend. Small water splashes around the board. Camera: medium shot from slightly above, subject centered, taken on a cheap 2000s point-and-shoot or disposable 35mm film camera with on-camera flash in bright midday sun. Look and filter: authentic early-2000s vacation film photo. Warm golden-orange color cast, faded lifted blacks, low contrast, slightly overexposed highlights from the flash, muted teal water, visible film grain, slight softness and blur, faint color fringing on edges, soft corner vignette. Nostalgic, unposed and imperfect, like a scanned print from an old family photo album. Not editorial, not glossy, not studio lit. Aspect ratio 4:3, photorealistic.
03Man character sheet
character reference sheet on a plain grey studio background, 16:9, photorealistic. one large face close-up on the left, then front, side and back full-body views. man in his late twenties, tan, slim muscular build, short tousled dark brown hair, stubble and moustache, round gold-wire sunglasses with brown lenses, white cowrie shell necklace, red swim shorts with two white side stripes and a white drawstring, barefoot. real skin with pores and body hair. no text.
04Chimp character sheet
character reference sheet on a plain off-white studio background, 16:9, photorealistic. a huge close-up of the face across the top, then front, three-quarter and back full-body views below. an adult chimpanzee with dark coarse fur, a pale wrinkled face and chunky glossy yellow plastic sunglasses. real fur texture, real wrinkled skin, real moist eyes. no text.
05Video prompt
=== REFERENCE MAP === <<<image_1>>> (woman on the paddleboard) → the EXACT FIRST FRAME and master reference for her face, hair, wardrobe, the lagoon, the light and the film look. Frame 0.0 matches it exactly: she sits on the white paddleboard with the black deck pad in shallow crystal-clear turquoise water over sand and dark coral, head tipped back laughing with her eyes closed, right hand in her hair, turquoise bandana with the big orange flower, tortoiseshell sunglasses pushed up on it, gold starfish earrings, white shell necklace, gold bangle, plain black scoop-neck one-piece swimsuit, wet curly dark hair, wet glistening skin. <<<image_2>>> (man and chimpanzee on surfboards) → the exact framing the whip pan lands on: <<<MAN>>> straddling the cream surfboard in thigh-deep clear water, gesturing with both hands, <<<CHIMP>>> sitting on the yellow surfboard to his right, the palm island on the left horizon, one small cloud on the right. Same lagoon, same sun. <<<image_3>>> (man sheet) → <<<MAN>>> identity lock: short tousled dark brown hair, stubble and moustache, round gold-wire sunglasses with brown lenses, white cowrie shell necklace, red swim shorts with two white side stripes and a white drawstring. Never changes. <<<image_4>>> (chimpanzee sheet) → <<<CHIMP>>> identity lock: adult chimpanzee, dark fur, pale wrinkled face, chunky glossy yellow plastic sunglasses. Never changes. === EMOTIONAL CORE === She is magnetic, soft and soulful. Not selling, not performing. She is letting one person she adores in on a secret, slowly, like she enjoys watching them fall for it. Every look lingers. The smile starts in her eyes, spreads slowly to her lips and stays. Her gaze is warm, a little dreamy, a little knowing, with slow blinks and lashes lowering and lifting. Her lips part softly before she speaks. On "my skin" she is tender and almost in awe of herself. On "the whole environment" she is free and glowing, like she is breathing the place in. Beautiful, alluring and real, never posed, never exaggerated. <<<MAN>>> is relaxed, smooth and confident, backing her up like it's obvious, until the chimpanzee's stare breaks him. Then comes a sweet, awkward backtrack, and he recovers his charm on the CTA. <<<CHIMP>>> never overacts. A slow head turn, a long unblinking stare, one deadpan look at the lens. Stillness is the joke. Every face stays alive between words: breath in the chest and shoulders, blinks, tiny eye drifts off the lens and back, micro-reactions at the mouth and brows. Nobody is ever frozen. === FILM LOOK (match <<<image_1>>> and <<<image_2>>>) === Real late-1990s holiday footage shot on an old consumer camcorder, transferred from tape. 4:3 frame with soft dark rounded corners like an old film gate. Warm, faded, sun-bleached colour, glowing turquoise water, slightly yellowed whites, milky lifted blacks, low contrast. Strong, coarse, organic film grain over the whole frame at all times. Faint dust specks and thin hairline scratches flick past now and then. Soft creamy highlights blooming on the water glitter, gentle halation around wet skin, hair and the edges of the bandana, slight overall softness with sharp eyes, mild barrel distortion at the edges, slight tape compression. Hard, constant midday tropical sun from above, with real hard shadows under her chin and arms and bright speculars on wet skin. A warm summer memory pulled off an old tape: candid, amateur, intimate. === REALISM (THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE) === Skin is never smooth. Visible pores, fine texture, faint freckles across the nose and shoulders, sun flush on the cheeks and nose, peach fuzz glowing in the sun, faint tan lines at the swimsuit straps, water droplets beading, sliding and dripping off her shoulders, collarbones and chin, a wet sheen with bright speculars, small natural unevenness, tiny marks, natural asymmetry. No retouching, no beauty filter, no waxy or plastic skin. Eyes are wet and alive: real catchlights from the sun and water, visible iris texture, fine lashes clumped with seawater. Lips are natural, slightly glossy, with fine lines and a soft texture. Hair is wet and real: heavy curls, salty flyaways drying lighter at the tips, strands stuck to her neck and shoulder, moving in the breeze. Fabric is real: the wet black swimsuit has a matte sheen and creases where she leans, and the bandana silk shifts in the wind. The chimpanzee has real coarse fur, wet in clumps, real wrinkled facial skin, real moist eyes and real fingernails. Real water physics: refraction over the sand, ripples spreading from the boards and from her fingers, droplets catching the sun. Correct anatomy: five fingers on every hand, natural joints. === CAMERA (REAL, VISIBLY SHAKY HANDHELD) === One continuous 16-second handheld take. The whip pan is the only transition and it happens in camera. Filmed one-handed by a friend standing waist-deep in the water close to her, who is never seen and never speaks. They shift their weight, take small steps through the water and fight the gentle swell, so the frame is never still: constant bob and sway from the water, micro-shake, small dips and lifts, late corrections, horizon rolling 3-6 degrees and never level for long, a slight lag behind every move she makes. There is NO ZOOM anywhere. Every change in framing comes from the operator physically stepping closer, stepping back, leaning in, turning or tilting by hand. Autofocus hunts softly after big moves, then locks, silently. Auto-exposure breathes with the water glare, slow and silent. Real time throughout, no slow motion. === TIMELINE === 0.0-0.6s, FRAME 0 Frame 0.0 is exactly <<<image_1>>>. She is at the end of a soft laugh, head back, eyes closed, hand in her wet hair. The frame is already bobbing with the water. Sound: water lapping the board, a light breeze, the soft tail of her laugh. 0.6-2.0s, "OKAY, QUICK QUESTION." Her laugh fades into a soft smile. Her hand slides slowly down out of her hair and her curls fall over her shoulder. Her eyes open slowly and find the lens, and the smile stays in them. "Okay, quick question." Said softly, almost playfully, with a slight lift of her brows on "question." The operator drifts a little and recorrects late. For a moment she sits off-centre, near the right edge of the frame. 2.0-4.0s, "IF I TOLD YOU NONE OF THIS IS REAL..." She leans slowly toward the lens, forearms resting on her knees, and holds its gaze, eyes soft and knowing, voice dropping to a velvety near-whisper: "If I told you none of this is real..." Gentle stress on NONE, with a slow, barely-there head shake. The "..." is a real, lingering beat: lips softly parted, a small audible inhale, one slow blink, a private smile starting at one corner of her mouth. The operator leans in a few centimetres with her. Focus breathes once and settles on her eyes. 4.0-5.0s, "ME," SHOW HER "...me," She eases back onto both hands on the board, tilts her head, and gives a slow, warm smile, letting you look at her. Her shoulders open and her hair falls back. The operator takes one step back through the water and tilts down a little by hand to take her in seated on the board, then drifts back up to her face, a beat late. Autofocus breathes and locks. 5.0-6.8s, "MY SKIN," SKIN CLOSE-UP "...my skin," Her voice goes tender, soft and breathy. Her right fingertips trace slowly along her wet shoulder and down across her collarbone, water beads gathering and rolling ahead of her fingers. She looks into the lens from under her lashes. The operator leans the camera in by hand until the lens is about 30 cm from her. For over a second the frame holds her cheek, jaw, shoulder and collarbone in hard sun: visible pores, freckles, peach fuzz glowing, water beads sliding, wet sheen, a curl stuck to her skin, the shell necklace resting in the hollow of her throat. The focus breathes softly and settles crisp on the skin texture. The frame keeps shaking this close. Her voice sounds suddenly intimate and close to the mic. 6.8-8.8s, "THE WHOLE ENVIRONMENT..." WIDE "...the whole environment..." She leans back and sweeps her right arm slowly out across the horizon, palm open and fingers relaxed, travelling away from her body, and turns her face into the breeze with her eyes half closed, breathing it in. The operator steps back about two metres through the water and turns left by hand, following her arm across the open lagoon: glittering turquoise water, coral shadows under the surface, the hazy horizon and the bright sky, with her small at the edge of the frame. The turn is a little late and a little uneven. Auto-exposure reacts to the glare, the blown highlights slowly recovering into real sky and water detail, and a soft milky sun bloom touches the top corner. Then the operator swings back to her as she looks over her shoulder into the lens with a slow, glowing smile. A gust lifts her hair and the ends of the bandana. 8.8-9.5s, WHIP PAN RIGHT EFFECT: a hard in-camera whip pan to the right across the open water, about 0.7 seconds, a real body turn. At peak speed the whole frame is a horizontal smear of turquoise, white glitter and sky, nothing readable. The blur builds and releases progressively, with only a small roll in the horizon. Sound: an air rush across the mic and a splash from the operator's turn. 9.5-9.9s, LANDING ON <<<MAN>>> AND <<<CHIMP>>> The whip lands on the exact framing of <<<image_2>>>, overshoots by a few degrees and corrects back. Autofocus hunts for half a second, then locks on <<<MAN>>>. 9.9-11.4s, "SHE'S RIGHT. IT'S ALL AI." <<<MAN>>> sits straddling the cream surfboard, water to his thighs, gesturing loosely with both hands toward the lens, a relaxed half smile: "She's right. It's all AI." His hands open easily on "all AI." Water drips off his forearms, the shell necklace sits on his wet chest, the sun glints off his round lenses. <<<CHIMP>>> sits beside him on the yellow board, gazing off to the side, calm. 11.4-13.2s, THE STARE <<<CHIMP>>> slowly turns its head toward <<<MAN>>>. With one finger it slides the yellow sunglasses down its nose, revealing its eyes, and stares at him, completely unimpressed. One soft huff through its nose. The operator takes a step closer and leans toward <<<CHIMP>>> by hand, so its face grows larger in the frame and the yellow frames and wrinkled brow dominate. Focus hunts, then settles: wrinkled skin, coarse wet fur, moist eyes over the lenses, a water droplet on the brow ridge. The frame shakes more this close. 13.2-13.6s, STEP BACK, THE FREEZE The operator eases back to the two-shot. <<<MAN>>> feels the stare, glances sideways at <<<CHIMP>>> and freezes mid-gesture, hands hanging in the air. 13.6-15.4s, THE CTA <<<MAN>>> turns back to the lens with a sheepish, charming smile, lowering his hands slowly: "...okay, except him. The prompt's in the comments." A small soft laugh on "except him." On "the prompt's in the comments" his charm comes back and he gives one easy point down toward the bottom of the frame. He gives <<<CHIMP>>> one gentle pat on the shoulder. 15.4-16.0s, HARD OUT <<<CHIMP>>> slides the sunglasses back up its nose with one finger and turns its face straight to the lens, deadpan. Behind the camera the operator lets out one soft wordless laugh and the frame jiggles with it. Cut at that instant, mid-motion. No hold, no fade, no black. === DIALOGUE (spoken exactly once, exactly as written, in this order) === HER: "Okay, quick question. If I told you none of this is real... me, my skin, the whole environment..." <<<MAN>>>: "She's right. It's all AI." <<<MAN>>>: "...okay, except him. The prompt's in the comments." <<<CHIMP>>>: no words, only one soft huff through its nose during the stare. No added words, repeats or extra lines. Exact lip-sync with natural mouth shapes, visible tongue and teeth on the right sounds, and breath between phrases. === VOICE === HER: a beautiful, smooth, velvety young American female voice in a warm low-mid register. Soft, breathy and intimate, like speaking quietly to one person very close to her. Unhurried, melodic phrasing with gentle rises and falls. You can hear the smile in it. Delicate breaths between phrases. No vocal fry, no rasp, no harshness, no nasal tone. Clean, pure and soothing, almost a hushed whisper on "none of this is real" and "my skin," opening up warm and glowing on "the whole environment." <<<MAN>>>: a smooth, warm, relaxed male baritone with a slight Australian accent. Easy and confident, rich and clear. A soft natural laugh on "except him," then smooth and charming again on the CTA. === AUDIO === The voices are recorded clean and close: clear, warm, full-bodied, natural and perfectly intelligible, with no distortion, no robotic or synthetic tone, no echo and no clipping. They sit clearly on top of the ambience. Her voice gets even more intimate on the skin close-up from mic proximity. Underneath at a low level: soft water lapping on the boards, the operator's legs moving through the water, drips off her fingertips, a gentle breeze, distant waves on the reef, the air rush on the whip pan, the chimpanzee's soft huff, the operator's soft laugh at the end. Camera moves, focus and exposure changes are silent. No music. === ALLOWED CAMERA / LENS BEHAVIOUR (nothing else) === Continuous visibly shaky one-handed handheld with water bob from 0 to 16s. One frame-edge drift with a late correction (the hook). A small lean in (on "none of this is real"). One step back with a hand tilt (on "me"). A physical lean-in skin close-up (on "my skin"). A step back with a late left turn across the lagoon, then a swing back to her (on "the whole environment"). One whip pan right. One step closer to the chimpanzee and one step back. Soft autofocus hunts after each move. Auto-exposure adaptation on the wide. One soft sun bloom. One laugh jiggle at the end. Hard cut on motion at 16.0s, the only cut. NEVER: zoom of any kind, crash zooms, punch-ins, crops, digital moves, stabilisation, gimbal smoothness, other cuts, slow motion, speed ramps, transitions other than the whip pan. === HARD RULES === Exactly 16 seconds, one continuous real-time take. Frame 0.0 is <<<image_1>>> exactly. The whip pan lands on the framing of <<<image_2>>>. Identity lock: she always matches <<<image_1>>>, <<<MAN>>> always matches <<<image_3>>>, <<<CHIMP>>> always matches <<<image_4>>>. Faces, hair, sunglasses, necklaces, swimsuit, shorts and boards never change or morph. SKIN IS NEVER SMOOTH, above all in the skin close-up. This is the single most important rule. Strong, coarse film grain on every frame. The light never changes. Every brightness shift is the camcorder's auto-exposure, slow, gradual and silent. Every movement has a visible beginning, middle and end. Nobody teleports. Her movements are slow, soft and graceful, never sudden. === NEGATIVES === The person filming is never seen and the camera is never visible. No extra people. No plastic skin, no beauty filter, no lip-sync drift, no frozen faces between lines, no extra fingers.

Pixar-Style Otter Beach Rescue
by @TopviewAIhq
3D animated CGI in the style of a modern Pixar film. A cute, expressive fluffy brown sea otter wearing a light blue neckerchief. Scene 1: floats on its back in a turquoise tropical ocean, holding a white shell. Scene 2: on a white sand beach, startled as a red hermit crab approaches. Scene 3: dives in and swims fast, chasing a floating half coconut shell carrying a tiny baby hermit crab. Scene 4: pops up with green seaweed draped over its eyes like a blindfold. Scene 5: overhead tracking shot swimming to the coconut. Scene 6: stands in shallow water holding the coconut with the baby crab inside. Scene 7: on the beach, sets the coconut down next to the adult crab. Scene 8: a wave splashes its face, it winks at the camera. Bright sunny cinematic light, photorealistic water and fur, lush palm trees.

Café Romance Scene: Character Prompt Maps + Seedance
by @ivanka_humeniuk
1 assetCreate a three-panel character reference sheet of the woman in @image1 in a single wide 16:9 image. Preserve her exact facial identity, blue eyes, dark espresso-brown hair color, skin tone and natural facial proportions from @image1. The left half contains two full-body views side by side: front and back, identical in scale, with both figures completely visible from above the bun to below the shoes. The right half contains one large head-and-shoulders portrait, facing directly into the camera. All three views share one continuous neutral mid-grey studio backdrop, matching soft lighting and the same warm film color treatment. In the full-body front view, replace the facial features with a smooth, softly blurred skin-toned oval. Keep the hairstyle and head silhouette intact. The large portrait on the right is the only detailed face reference. Restyle her exceptionally long, thick hair into a high, generously sized, loosely sculpted bun at the crown. Preserve the fullness of her hair, with lifted roots and soft volume around the head. Two delicate curved tendrils fall beside her temples toward her jaw, framing the outer edges of her face. Her eyebrows, blue eyes and cheekbones remain clearly visible. The back view shows the gathered hair and the substantial rounded shape of the bun. The hairstyle feels elegant and practical, like a beautiful café waitress in a romantic film from around 2000. Dress her in a fitted ivory fine-knit top with short sleeves and a modest scoop neckline, tucked into a high-waisted black tailored pencil skirt ending at the knees. The skirt has a small functional back vent. Over it, she wears a short deep-burgundy cotton waist apron, extending from the waist to mid-thigh, with two discreet rectangular front pockets. Narrow apron ties wrap around her waist and form a neat bow at the center of her back, clearly visible in the rear view. Her shoes are simple black leather ballet flats with gently rounded toes and low flat heels. Small plain gold stud earrings complete the outfit. Her figure is tall and slender, with a defined narrow waist, long legs and a graceful neck. The clothing follows her natural proportions, with realistic knit texture, tailored seams and soft cotton folds around the apron ties. The same outfit, fit, hem lengths and hairstyle appear in all three views. In the front view she stands upright, square to the camera, shoulders level, weight evenly balanced, arms relaxed at her sides and hands empty. The back view shows the identical stance turned fully away. In the portrait her head is upright, chin level and both eyes look directly into the lens. Her lips are gently closed with a faint, relaxed smile. Preserve the recognizable face from @image1, with natural skin texture, visible pores and fine facial hairs. Soft frontal studio lighting keeps her features and clothing clearly readable, with gentle shading under the chin and soft contact shadows beneath the shoes. The grey backdrop remains plain throughout the image. The composition consists entirely of the three views and the seamless backdrop. Maintain a glamorous late-1990s to early-2000s 35mm film publicity look: warm natural skin, creamy ivory fabric, rich burgundy cotton, deep readable blacks, fine organic grain and restrained highlight glow. Her face, blue eyes, hair strands and garment details remain clearly resolved. Clean presentation with uninterrupted backdrop between the views.
