Café Romance Scene: Character Prompt Maps + Seedance

Create 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.

Create a three-panel character reference sheet of the man in @image1 in one wide 16:9 image. Preserve his
exact face, eye color, skin tone, facial proportions and hairstyle from the reference, including the natural
swept-back waves and the loose strand near his forehead.
The left half of the image contains two full-body figures side by side: a straight-on front view and a complete
back view, identical in scale, both visible from above the hair to below the shoes. The right half contains one
large head-and-shoulders portrait looking directly into the camera, with his entire hairstyle inside the frame.
All three views share one continuous neutral mid-grey studio backdrop.
On the full-body front figure, replace the facial features with a smooth, softly blurred skin-toned oval,
retaining the head silhouette and hair. The large portrait on the right is the single detailed face reference.
He is tall, approximately 188 cm, with broad shoulders, a lean athletic build, a defined waist and long legs. His
proportions remain natural and identical across all three views.
Dress him in an elegant camel-colored wool-and-cashmere overcoat reaching just below the knees. The coat
has broad notched lapels, softly structured shoulders, a single-breasted three-button front, discreet welt
pockets and a single center-back vent. He wears it fully unbuttoned, its front panels hanging naturally to
reveal the clothing underneath. The fabric is substantial, softly brushed and richly textured, with realistic
weight and long vertical folds.
Under the overcoat, he wears a dark chocolate-brown tailored wool blazer with a two-button front, worn
unbuttoned, over a pale-blue cotton shirt with a pointed collar and the top button undone. The shirt is tucked
neatly into high-waisted charcoal-grey wool trousers with a single pleat on each side, a relaxed straight leg
and a slight break over the shoes. A dark-brown leather belt with a small brushed-metal buckle completes the
waist.
His shoes are polished dark-brown leather penny loafers with matching dark socks. A slim rectangular gold
wristwatch on a dark-brown leather strap sits on his left wrist, partly visible beneath the cuff. The styling has
the understated elegance of a wealthy young man in a romantic film set around 2000.
In both full-body views, he stands upright with shoulders level, weight evenly balanced and arms relaxed
slightly away from his sides so the coat silhouette remains readable. His hands are empty. The back view
shows the coat's full length, center seam, vent and natural drape.
In the large portrait, his face is strictly frontal, head upright, chin level and both eyes directed into the lens.
His lips are relaxed and closed. Preserve the exact facial structure, subtle beard shadow and natural skin
texture visible in @image1. The portrait includes the camel coat lapels, brown blazer and pale-blue shirt
collar.
Soft, even studio lighting keeps his face and all clothing details clearly readable, with gentle facial shading,
broad highlights on the wool and soft contact shadows beneath both pairs of shoes. The backdrop is plain and
continuous, with clean empty space separating the three views.
Maintain warm late-1990s to early-2000s 35mm film color: natural warm skin, rich camel wool, deep
chocolate tailoring, soft pale-blue cotton and readable charcoal shadows. Fine organic film grain and
restrained highlight glow give the image a tactile cinematic finish while the face, hair and garment
construction remain clearly resolved.

Create a cinematic location reference photograph of an intimate, elegant neighbourhood café in the year 2000, shortly before closing on an autumn evening. One wide horizontal 16:9 image showing a single coherent interior, photographed at eye level from the customer side, looking diagonally toward the service counter. A natural 28mm lens perspective with straight architectural lines and clearly readable room geography.

A long service counter occupies the right half of the composition, running from the foreground toward the back wall. It has a polished dark walnut front with recessed wooden panels and a warm ivory stone countertop. The central serving section is a broad, clear, uninterrupted surface, ready for a pastry box and a conversation between a standing customer and the waitress behind the counter. This section of the counter is bare, with the stone surface fully visible.

Behind the counter is a comfortable working aisle. The rear service wall contains dark wooden shelves, neatly arranged porcelain dishes, a stainless-steel espresso machine and a small period-appropriate cash register at the far end. A wooden doorway in the back wall leads to the kitchen. A small glass pastry display stands at the far end of the counter, leaving the main serving area open.

On the left side of the room, three small dark wooden tables stand beside burgundy leather banquette seating along the wall. Each table has two bentwood chairs and a small glass sugar dispenser. Above the banquette hang framed botanical prints and warm brass wall sconces with ivory shades. The walls are painted creamy butter yellow above dark wooden wainscoting. The floor is laid with small cream and muted terracotta tiles.

At the far left, tall street-facing windows and a glazed wooden entrance door reveal a quiet city street at dusk. Soft, cool evening light enters through the windows, balanced by warm pools of light from the wall sconces and three opal-glass pendant lamps above the counter. The entrance, seating area, service counter and kitchen doorway are all clearly visible within the same spatially consistent room.

The café feels established, lovingly maintained and slightly worn: subtle patina on brass fittings, gentle wear on the leather seats, fine scratches in the wooden furniture and realistic texture in the plaster walls. The tables are neatly reset for the end of the evening. The room is unoccupied so its layout and furnishings are fully visible.

The visual atmosphere is a romantic feature film from 1999-2000, captured on 35mm film: warm amber practical lighting, creamy highlights, rich walnut brown, muted burgundy and natural shadow detail. Fine film grain, subtle halation around glowing lamps and soft highlight roll-off. Maintain enough depth of field to clearly describe the counter, seating and rear service wall. Photorealistic materials, believable proportions and an inviting, lived-in atmosphere. A clean cinematic location photograph filling the entire frame.

SCENE CONTEXT A 30-second scene in a neighbourhood café in the year 2000, near closing time. A headstrong waitress packs her handmade pastries. A wealthy customer approaches to pay, interrupts her work with questions, tastes a sample and asks her to pose as his girlfriend at dinner.  Play this as a lively romantic dramedy with friction, humour and unexpected attraction. She wants to finish her work and refuses to entertain his casual charm. He wants to keep her attention and finds himself having to earn it. Their reactions evolve naturally as they listen to each other.  ACTIVE REFERENCES @image1 - the waitress. Use the detailed portrait for her exact face and the full-body views for her work outfit and high loose bun. @image2 - the customer. Preserve his exact face, hair and clothing, including the unbuttoned camel overcoat. @image3 - the café architecture, counter, furnishings and dusk outside. @image4 - one ivory pastry box and its six chocolate novelty pastries. Preserve their shapes, chocolate glaze, gold decoration and individual gold boards. The panels show two states of the same box.  SPACE AND PROPS She stands behind the counter; he approaches on the customer side. In shared shots he is screen-left, she is screen-right. Keep the camera on the same side of their dialogue axis, maintaining matching eyelines.  The box begins open with five pastries inside. She is placing the sixth into the remaining space, holding its gold board. Beside the box is a small ivory plate with an additional matching dessert cut into two portions and a dessert fork. He samples this separate dessert; the six boxed pastries remain whole.  He carries a folded banknote in his left hand, ready to pay. His right hand is free. The central serving surface contains the box and tasting plate. Cups stay on the background shelves.  CAMERA AND EDITING 16:9, 30 seconds, real-time action. Film coverage with foreground depth, deliberate camera movement, expressive changes in shot size and motivated focus pulls. Hard cuts at the listed boundaries. Stable focal length within each shot. Let performances flow inside the shots, with natural listening and gestures overlapping speech.  0.0-3.0 SECONDS 63° FOV. A short lateral tracking shot moves along the customer side of the counter with the approaching man, revealing the waitress already at work beyond him. The polished counter creates a strong diagonal into the frame. She places the final pastry into the box. He stops opposite her, notices the contents and suppresses a laugh. She remains occupied with packing.  HARD CUT - 3.0-5.5 SECONDS 47° FOV. Low oblique view across the open box: the pastries are sharp in the foreground, his face visible beyond them. Pull focus from the chocolate shapes to his amused expression as he looks up at her. MAN: “Is this the new menu?” He is teasing, expecting an easy smile in return.  HARD CUT - 5.5-10.5 SECONDS 47° FOV. Side-on medium shot of the waitress, her face and hands visible, his coat softly framing one edge. WOMAN: “Test batch for a bachelorette party. My coworkers approved.” She answers with dry impatience while straightening the paper inside the box. She gives him a pointed look on “approved,” then slides the tasting plate toward him with a brisk, controlled gesture: he can taste it and let her finish. The plate stops within his reach. Her delivery has bite and personality; her attention moves naturally between him and her work.  HARD CUT - 10.5-14.5 SECONDS 47° FOV. Counter-height three-quarter medium shot of the man, showing his face and right hand, with the box edge in the foreground. He takes a small forkful from the cut dessert. As he tastes, his teasing manner gives way to spontaneous appreciation. He finishes the bite and lowers the fork onto the plate. She is visible at the edge of frame, briefly watching to see whether he likes it before returning to her work. The banknote remains in his left hand.  HARD CUT - 14.5-20.5 SECONDS 47° FOV. A layered two-shot looking diagonally along the counter, both faces readable. The camera makes a gentle lateral move that settles as their eyes meet. MAN: “You make these yourself?” His interest is genuine now. WOMAN: “After my shifts. I'm saving for my own bakery.” She answers firmly, with pride beneath the impatience. For a moment she engages fully because her bakery matters to her. Then she returns her attention to the box. He watches her and considers his next words.  HARD CUT - 20.5-24.0 SECONDS 29° FOV. Medium close-up of the man from beside her shoulder. A slow, restrained dolly inward makes the conversation feel more personal. MAN: “Have dinner with me tonight?” He attempts an easy invitation, but there is a real question in his eyes. Allow a short listening beat after the line.  HARD CUT - 24.0-30.0 SECONDS 29° FOV. Close-up of the waitress from his eyeline, her face in three-quarter view and his blurred shoulder at the edge. Begin with a very slight forward camera move. She looks up from her work and gives him a brief, sceptical half-smile, amused by his nerve. MAN, naturally offscreen: “With my family. As my girlfriend.” His voice hesitates briefly between the two phrases.  Stay on her throughout his clarification so the audience sees it land. Her half-smile disappears; she stops what she is doing and looks directly at him with an immediate, incredulous reaction. She lets out a short disbelieving breath and settles her right palm on the counter. The camera settles with her. Hold the final moment as she silently sizes him up, ready to challenge him. End after the hand movement is complete, on her living reaction.  ACTING Give the actors room for spontaneous conversational behaviour. She is spirited, quick and proud, with dry humour and a short tolerance for being patronised. Her annoyance changes with the conversation: she dismisses his teasing, briefly cares about his response to her baking, defends her ambition and finally reacts to the audacity of his request.  He starts charming and self-assured, adjusts when she gives him little encouragement, becomes genuinely impressed by the dessert and risks the invitation. His confidence becomes less certain as he waits for her response.  Use connected reactions, natural breaths, shifts of attention and expressive vocal rhythm. Each person listens while the other speaks. Movements arise from packing, tasting and trying to hold or end the conversation. Keep their faces recognisable and their physical behaviour grounded.  LIGHTING AND COLOUR Preserve the café's amber pendant lamps, brass sconces and cool dusk windows. Soft directional side lighting shapes their faces, with darker shadow cheeks and gentle reflected fill preserving their eyes. Photograph from the shadow side. Loose hair, camel wool and chocolate glaze catch warm highlights.  Fixed 4000K white balance. Rich walnut browns, burgundy leather, creamy practical highlights and deep textured shadows. Natural skin colour beneath the warm light. Consistent lighting across all angles.  AUDIO - FIXED CHARACTER VOICES WOMAN VOICE: Adult woman in her mid-twenties; medium pitch, warm clear mezzo speaking voice with a lightly husky lower register, neutral General American accent, natural conversational rhythm, crisp intelligible consonants and restrained expressive inflection. MAN VOICE: Adult man in his early thirties; medium-low pitch, warm resonant baritone with a subtle dry rasp, neutral General American accent, measured conversational rhythm, clear articulation and understated playful inflection.  Preserve these vocal identities. Her delivery is dry, spirited and impatient, becoming firm when discussing her bakery. His delivery moves from playful confidence to sincere curiosity and slightly hesitant persuasion.  Use the written English dialogue exactly. Clear turn-taking and accurate lip synchronisation for visible speakers. His final clarification is heard offscreen while the camera stays on her reaction.  Quiet café room tone, distant traffic, paper rustle, a soft plate scrape, the fork touching porcelain and her final palm contact. Keep dialogue clear and foregrounded.  FILM LOOK Late-1990s theatrical romantic dramedy captured on visibly textured 35mm film. Organic moving grain is clearly perceptible across midtones, skin and shadows at normal playback size. Warm halation surrounds the glowing lamps; bright reflections bloom gently. Rich film-print contrast, creamy highlight roll-off and natural optical sharpness with restrained edge enhancement. Preserve readable eyes, realistic skin and fabric detail beneath the film texture. Natural motion blur and 24 fps cinematic cadence.  CONTINUITY After packing, all six boxed pastries remain whole and in place. The separate tasting dessert retains its missing bite. The box stays open on the same section of counter. After the slide, the tasting plate and fork remain on his side. His banknote stays in his left hand. Maintain exact faces, hair, clothing, screen direction, café geometry and dusk throughout. Reference sheets guide appearance; the output is full-frame cinematic footage.
