Quick answers
What tools do you need?
Claude (anthropic's ai assistant for writing, products and building small tools); Vidfield (ai creative workspace for images, video and 3d with 50+ models); Seedance (ai video model (in capcut/dreamina)).
How much does it cost?
You can start for $0: Claude has a free plan. Vidfield, Seedance are paid or trial-based. Check each tool's site for current prices.
Is it allowed?
X allows original content; deceptive synthetic media likely to cause harm can be labeled or removed, and paid posts must be disclosed. Source.
Try it yourself
Create a premium character-design reference sheet on a clean light cream studio background for an entirely original young [ANIMAL] named [NAME], like an official 3D animated feature-film model sheet: front, side, 3/4, rear and head views, an expression strip, three action poses and a labeled color palette. Key details: [MARKINGS], [PROPORTIONS], [SIGNATURE FEATURE]. Seedance: Create an exactly 30-second 3D animated adventure-comedy short. Use the attached [NAME] character sheet as the exact visual reference. Keep one fixed location: [PLACE]. Story: [GOAL] → [FIRST FAIL] → [SECOND TRY] → [FUNNY PAYOFF], with timed beats. (Our template. Workflow by @HeyAbhishek; his full prompts are in his thread.)
Starter tools
Your first step
Open Claude, paste the prompt above and swap the [brackets] for your own niche.
Full write-up & sources
More detail: In the thread he shares a character sheet prompt for an original red panda, "Koda", then one 30-second Seedance 2.5 scene prompt that uses the sheet as the exact visual reference, and says it was created using Vidfield. In his words: "Chaotic amateur first-person phone footage shot by a standing passenger during rush hour"
Worth knowing: One locked sheet keeps a new character consistent for a full 30-second scene.
