r/seedance

One thing that still frustrates me with most AI video models is that they can produce a beautiful shot while completely ignoring one or two important instructions.

Camera movement, exact actions, object placement, character behavior… there’s usually something that gets lost.

Seedance 2.5 has been the big exception for me.

It’s honestly surprising how literally it can follow a detailed prompt, especially when the scene has multiple actions happening in sequence. It’s not perfect, obviously, but in terms of actually doing what I wrote, it has been noticeably more consistent than most models I’ve tested.

Curious if anyone else has had the same experience, or if there’s another model you think follows prompts even better.

About how it was created:
After you have your script it was broken down in to a shot list.
At the shot list process we determined how many characters, props and locations were needed.
We created characters with Soul Cinema and Locations with Soul Location.
When we had faces that we liked we took the face generation and created Character Sheets with Seedream Pro and Prop Sheet (3 angles) with the same engine.
Voices were made with Eleven Labs.
In the video process i made a Grouped Shot list, that means all the action outside and the dialogues, all the action inside the building etc.
Here the only issue we had was when we started generating the outside scenes separately, we had issues with continuity so we grouped the outside together and used the previous generation to hold only the position of the actors + we avoided racor by typing as an example in the prompt "no dirt on them after explosion"
The biggest issue was the movement of the hands in the close ups and the binocular shots, The binocular shot was kinda achieved by creating a 3d app to make the angle and camera frame as we wanted and gave it as a reference, and the hand gesture was mostly changes in the wording of prompt and reference video to understand the movement.

Overall only the gesture and the camera angle of 2 shots was the biggest problem, the rest we were well prepared to achieve them in one try mostly.
The project will be public in a few days after we short the folders a little better.
