Pairs Skating Throw Past The Arena Lights

Action · Seedance 2.5 · Karmi · 2026-09-02

A very short timecoded prompt of four moments, 2 seconds apart, in lowercase script style: a pair skate, he throws, she flies far beyond a normal throw and hangs in the air. The text ends at the hang, so the model decides the rest.

The prompt ends at 00:06, so 8 seconds leaves two seconds for the landing; extend to 10 and add one line for the fall.
Lowercase short sentences work here because each timecode is one image; keep the format and add beats rather than longer sentences.
To get a believable ending, add the catch or landing explicitly; otherwise the model may cut away.
