Prompt

A 30-second ultra-realistic live-action melodrama scene in 16:9 on the platform of a modern underground subway station: glass platform screen doors, cream tiled round pillars, yellow safety lines on a polished floor, rows of cool ceiling lights and scattered commuters. All three characters are original fictional people and keep the same faces, hair and clothes in every shot. The woman: early twenties, long straight dark hair with soft face-framing strands, a fitted light-blue short-sleeved cropped top with a square neckline, high-waisted light-blue jeans, white sneakers, small silver hoop earrings, a thin silver necklace with a small pendant and a slim watch on her wrist. The boyfriend: early twenties, short dark hair, a charcoal-grey jacket over a black T-shirt, black trousers and white sneakers. The other woman: long wavy light-brown hair, a cream long-sleeved blouse with a tie at the neck, a short black skirt, black heels and a small cream shoulder bag on a chain strap. 0-4s, one continuous shot: the camera tracks backward as the woman walks along the platform toward the camera, a takeaway paper coffee cup with a white lid in one hand and her phone in the other, smiling at the screen. Behind her, beside a pillar, the boyfriend is kissing the other woman; she has not seen them. The camera pushes in to a close-up of her face as she glances up and the smile fades. 4-5s: low insert at floor level beside the pillar: her paper cup lies on its side with her phone in a splash of spilled coffee, a few steps from his white sneakers and the other woman's black heels. 5-7s: extreme close-up, eyes wide and lips parted in disbelief; a single tear runs down her cheek. 7-21s, one continuous handheld take: from behind her, she walks toward the pillar where the couple are still kissing, empty-handed, past the coffee splash. The camera circles into a three-shot as the boyfriend breaks away and turns, shocked; the other woman shrinks back against the pillar, hands clasped. The woman faces him and asks in a shaking voice, "What is this? Who is she?" He stammers, "Wait... I can explain," and reaches for her arm. Around 12s she pulls free and slaps him hard across the cheek in one quick, blurred swing. He freezes with a hand pressed to his cheek. Tears streaming, she stares at him and says, voice breaking, "I trusted you... I never thought you could do this to me." The other woman watches in silence while commuters along the platform turn to stare. Near 20s she wipes her eyes with the back of her hand and turns away. 21-27s, one continuous shot starting low beside the spill: she bends down and picks her phone out of the coffee, leaving the cup behind as he lifts a hand toward her; the camera rises and follows her from behind as she walks down the long platform, phone in hand, crying quietly past staring passengers; the headlights of an approaching train glow at the far end of the platform. 27-30s: close-up of her tear-streaked face moving through a blurred crowd; her wet eyes drift toward the lens for a moment, then she turns away into the crowd and the scene cuts to black. Handheld camera with natural imperfections, cool fluorescent station light, shallow depth of field in the close-ups, realistic tears and believable object physics. Sound: subway ambience, distant platform announcements, footsteps, the cup and phone hitting the floor, murmuring passengers, the trembling dialogue, a sharp slap echoing off the tiles, her uneven breathing and distant train brakes; a soft piano may enter during the final walk. No narration. Keep the frame free of on-screen text, captions and watermarks.

Run it with an AI agent

  1. Create an API key with its own spend limit.
  2. Copy the agent brief and paste it into Claude Code, Codex or another coding agent.
  3. The agent quotes first and waits for your OK, then creates with an Idempotency-Key and polls until the video is ready.

Why it's adapted

The creator's prompt relies on uploaded photos to fix the three faces; this adaptation removes that dependence and writes every outfit and hairstyle in words, so it runs as plain text-to-video. The finished clip mostly follows the written story but changes the order and a few details: the opening shot already shows the couple kissing behind her as she walks past, the moment the cup and phone fall is never shown and only a floor insert of the aftermath appears, the other woman stays pressed against the pillar instead of stepping back, the boyfriend does not visibly follow or call after her, and in the last close-up her gaze only drifts near the lens. The adaptation follows the clip, keeps the creator's sound plan and most of the dialogue, folding two lines into one, and renders as one 30-second Seedance 2.5 text-to-video at 16:9 and 720p; the prompt asked for 1080p and the published file is 1280×720.

@AIwithSynthia · 3,795 characters
Create a 30-second, 1080p ultra-realistic emotional Korean drama scene inside a modern Seoul subway station. Use the uploaded reference images for exact character identity and appearance. Maintain consistent faces, hairstyles, outfits, and body proportions throughout. MAIN CHARACTERS Woman: Beautiful young adult Korean woman in her early 20s, long straight black hair, fitted pastel-blue crop top, high-waisted blue jeans, white sneakers, and delicate silver jewelry. Natural makeup, expressive eyes, and realistic skin texture. Boyfriend: Young Korean man in his early 20s, short black hair, wearing a dark casual jacket, black trousers, and white sneakers. Other woman: Young adult Korean woman with long brown hair, wearing an elegant cream-colored top and a short black skirt. — THE DISCOVERY The young woman walks down the subway platform carrying a takeaway coffee in one hand and her smartphone in the other. She looks relaxed, occasionally checking her phone while waiting for the train. As she approaches the platform entrance, she suddenly notices her boyfriend standing near a pillar, passionately kissing another woman. She stops immediately. Her smile disappears. Her eyes widen in disbelief, and her entire body freezes. Her smartphone slips from her fingers and crashes onto the platform. At the same moment, her coffee cup falls, spilling coffee across the floor. She watches them silently, unable to believe what she is seeing. Her eyes begin filling with tears. — THE CONFRONTATION She slowly walks toward them, her hands trembling. Her boyfriend notices her and immediately pulls away from the other woman. His expression changes from happiness to complete shock. She stares directly at him and asks in a trembling voice: "What is this? Who is she?" He struggles to respond, saying: "Wait… I can explain." She interrupts him, her voice breaking: "Explain what? I trusted you!" The other woman awkwardly steps backward while nearby passengers begin noticing the confrontation. — THE EMOTIONAL BREAKDOWN Her boyfriend reaches toward her arm, trying to stop her from leaving. She pulls away and delivers one sudden, realistic slap across his cheek. The sound echoes through the station. He freezes, holding his cheek, completely speechless. Tears begin rolling down her face. She looks at him with heartbreak and disappointment, struggling to control her breathing. She whispers: "I never thought you could do this to me." She looks away, wipes her tears with the back of her hand, and refuses to listen to his excuses. — WALKING AWAY She bends down, picks up her smartphone from the floor, and leaves the spilled coffee behind. Her boyfriend takes a few steps after her, calling her name, but she doesn't turn around. The camera follows her from behind as she walks down the long subway platform, crying silently. A train approaches in the background. She wipes her face, takes a deep breath, and keeps walking. FINAL SHOT: Close-up of her tear-filled face as she briefly looks toward the camera. A tear rolls down her cheek. She turns away and disappears into the crowded station. Cut to black. AUDIO: Natural subway ambience, distant train announcements, footsteps, coffee cup hitting the floor, phone dropping, quiet passenger conversations, trembling dialogue, the slap echoing through the station, emotional breathing, and distant train brakes. Subtle emotional piano may begin during the final walk. No narration. VISUAL STYLE: Ultra-realistic live-action Korean melodrama, natural facial expressions, realistic tears, emotional close-ups, handheld camera imperfections, cinematic subway lighting, authentic passenger reactions, natural body movement, believable object physics, and award-winning film-level emotional storytelling.

Shot breakdown

Subject
Three original characters told apart by clothes: the heroine in a light-blue cropped top, high-waisted jeans and white sneakers with small silver jewellery; the boyfriend in a charcoal jacket, black tee and black trousers; and the other woman with wavy light-brown hair, a tie-neck cream blouse and a short black skirt. The station is a clean, modern platform lined with glass screen doors and tiled pillars.
Action
Discovery, aftermath, confrontation, exit: she walks past the kissing couple unaware, sees them, and the spilled coffee and dropped phone are shown after the fact; she marches over, argues, slaps him when he grabs for her arm, wipes her tears, retrieves her phone from the puddle and walks off down the platform as a train approaches.
Camera
Six shots, most of them long: a backward-tracking walk that pushes into a close-up as she looks up, a floor-level insert of the spill, an extreme close-up of the first tear, then one unbroken handheld take of about 14 seconds that moves from behind her into a three-shot for the argument and slap, a low shot by the puddle that rises into a follow from behind, and a closing close-up in a soft-focus crowd.
Style
Glossy live-action drama under cool fluorescent light, with shallow focus on faces, natural crying and a handheld feel that stays readable. The commuters react but stay in the background, so the emotion sits on the three leads.
Sound
Station ambience and distant announcements, the clatter of the cup and phone, three short exchanges of trembling dialogue, a slap that echoes off the tiles, uneven breathing, train brakes and an optional soft piano as she walks away.

Make it yours

  • If the three characters start to blend, lean harder on the clothing contrast in the character lines (light blue versus charcoal versus cream) rather than adding facial detail; inside the long handheld take, colour is what keeps them apart.
  • The slap reads best as a short, clearly separated beat, as written around 12s; if it gets swallowed by the argument, trim the dialogue before it rather than stretching the slap.
  • To make it less intense, swap the slap for her pulling her arm away and stepping back, and remove the slap echo from the sound line so the audio still matches.

FAQ

Do I need photos of the actors to keep the three characters consistent?

No. This version describes each person's hair, clothes and accessories in full, so it works in text-to-video mode on its own. If you do want to supply your own photos, Seedance 2.5 has a reference-to-video (r2v) mode that accepts up to 16 images; trim the written character lines there so the words and the photos agree.

Which resolution should I choose for the tear close-ups?

Seedance 2.5 renders at 480p, 720p, 1080p or 4K, and this page uses the 720p default. Tears and wet eyes hold up better at 1080p or 4K, so test a short cut at 720p first, then render the full 30 seconds at the higher setting.

Can I split this into two shorter scenes?

Yes. Each Seedance 2.5 run can be 4 to 30 seconds, so you could generate the discovery and slap (0-13s) as one clip and the aftermath and walk-away (13-30s) as another, renumbering the timecodes from zero in the second prompt and keeping all three character lines word for word in both.
