First-Person Squad Advance Through a Ruined City

3D animation · Seedance 2.5 · Build Fast with AI · 2026-08-21

A very short prompt asking for a continuous 30-second first-person shooter sequence at night in a war-torn city. It states only the setting, the viewpoint and the squad; everything else is left to the model.

Prompt

Try it on Seedance 2.5

Create a continuous 30-second cinematic AAA military first-person shooter game sequence set in a war-torn urban city at night. A modern special forces soldier in full tactical gear advances through the destroyed city with an assault rifle in hand, accompanied by squad members moving tactically behind him.

Shot breakdown

Subject: A special-forces soldier in tactical gear with an assault rifle, followed by squad members, in a destroyed urban area.
Action: The soldier advances through the ruins while teammates move tactically behind him; no specific events are scripted.
Camera: Continuous first-person game view with no cuts, as the prompt asks for a single unbroken sequence.
Style: AAA military game look at night, with ruined buildings as the backdrop.
Sound: No sound direction; the model will add ambient audio.

Recommended settings

Model: Seedance 2.5
Duration: 30 s
Aspect ratio: 16:9
Resolution: 1080p

Make it yours

Because nothing is scripted, add two or three beats with time codes, such as 0-10s advance, 10-20s contact, 20-30s breach, to get a real arc.
Add one lighting line (for example 'fires and distant flares as the only light') to keep the night scene readable rather than uniformly dark.
If the 30 seconds drift, cut duration to 15; the single-sentence structure still works at that length.
