I am trying to produce a working T2I prompt for a robotic dance i.e. 80s style break-dance a-la Herby Hancock or SYTYCD Robert Muraine e.g. something similiar to this (e.g. between 15 and 25 seconds): https://elements.envato.com/robotic-dance-1-HYLDNZS .

However, unable to do so, since it always ends up with just a regular smooth style dance.

Below is an example of one of simple prompts I've tried (I've tried significantly more involved ones too) just to illustrate the idea.

I've tried with different models e.g. Veo, LTX, Wan, but the result is the same.

BTW, excluding 'dance' related words from the prompt, or rather replacing it with move/motion relation words doesn't help either.

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to make this work?

Thanks

Positive prompt: robot humanoid figure, performing robot dance,

mechanical isolated limb movement, stiff joints,

hard stop between each movement, stroboscopic,

stop motion puppet, industrial automation,

chrome metal body, neon lit stage, 8fps,

shot on twos, each pose locked and frozen

Negative prompt: smooth, fluid, flowing, motion blur, graceful,

human movement, easing in, easing out,

organic, soft, continuous motion, cinematic

Just curious - has anyone come across a project that required connecting your social media account as part of the work?

Is this common on the platform? And was it always presented as optional, or did it feel like you had to do it to get work?

Thanks.

Just going through the Appen onboarding documents and noticed the consent form requires facial images, videos, and biometric data collected through a third-party vendor for identity verification.

I'm fine with a one-time ID check, but wanted to ask the community before I proceed:

Does any ongoing project require the camera to stay on during work sessions?

Is there any screen recording or periodic screenshot monitoring while you're doing tasks?

Has anyone had issues with how their biometric data was handled by Appen or their third-party vendors?

The consent form mentions third-party vendors processing facial recognition data, but doesn't specify what's collected beyond the initial verification.

Would appreciate any insight.

Being primarily Java dev, I was thinking of applying for either Senior or Junior dev position, but neither of the position explicitly states Java as one of the required languages

The Junior Software Engineer position ad says:

'web development, and technologies such as Python, React and TypeScript'

Then down below in the requirements there's also this mention:

'Familiarity with at least one programming language'

The Senior position ad says:

'a wide range of technologies and programming languages, including JavaScript, Python, Go, C++, Ruby, and more.'

So wondering if there's an intake test on Java?

Would appreciate any feedback
