Prompt · Seedance 2.5

Storm trend recast

Put yourself in the lead of the Storm music video. The original clip goes in as a motion reference, so it drives the choreography; three images decide who's in it and where. One generation.

What you need

Reference order

  1. @Video1 the original clip (motion only)
  2. @Image1 your character sheet
  3. @Image2 your outfit
  4. @Image3 the crowd outfit

Example references (mine):

Frame from the original Storm clip
@Video1
Character sheet
@Image1
Lead outfit: orange shell jacket, black tee and trousers, cigarette
@Image2
Crowd outfit: black hoodie, grey joggers, lanyard
@Image3

Use References, not Edit Video: Edit keeps the original faces and only restyles the clothes. Keep the MOTION block word for word; rewrite only the three bracketed lines: your outfit, the crowd's, the place.

The prompt

Recreate the scene in @Video1 as a new shot, 30 seconds, 16:9. @Video1 is the motion reference only: copy its choreography, timing, camera and framing. Do not copy any of its people.

MOTION (keep exactly as @Video1): the same single continuous take, the same camera move, lens, framing and focus pulls, the lead's walk path and stillness, and the crowd blocking. From about 21.5 seconds the whole crowd moves in sync on the same beats as @Video1: convulse, bow, heads snap back, look to the sky, repeat. No cuts.

LEAD: The lead is the person in @Image1, a completely different person from the man in @Video1. Use only @Image1's face and hair in every frame. There is only ONE of them and they never appear in the crowd. They wear the outfit in @Image2: [YOUR OUTFIT, ONE LINE]. They are the only saturated colour in the frame. Bare hands, no tattoos. In the opening close-up they smoke the cigarette from @Image2 exactly as the lead does in @Video1: the same drag and the same exhale of smoke, on the same timing. They keep the lead's poses, gaze and stillness throughout.

CROWD: Every other person is a new adult in their mid-20s to 30s; none of the faces from @Video1 appear. They all wear the outfit in @Image3: [CROWD OUTFIT, ONE LINE]. Varied ethnicities, hairstyles and beards, a mix of men and women. No school uniforms, ties, crests or blazers. The crowd is as dense, still and tightly packed as in @Video1.

PLACE: [YOUR LOCATION: e.g. a modern tech-campus plaza, concrete and floor-to-ceiling glass, a large arched glass entrance behind the crowd], overcast flat daylight. Same camera height and perspective as @Video1. Desaturated, cool, soft contrast, 35mm film texture.

Swapping the cigarette? Change the close-up line to your prop (“takes a slow sip from a white takeaway coffee cup, on the same timing as the original hand-to-mouth gesture”) and put it in your outfit flat-lay.
