Prompt

Create a cinematic, photorealistic 30-second live-action video set inside a modern American high school gymnasium during a busy afternoon. A beautiful young female student with long dark-brown hair tied in a ponytail, wearing a white athletic jacket, black leggings, running shoes and a backpack, walks across the gym while students practice basketball around her. Start with a natural medium tracking shot of the girl moving through the gym. Use realistic handheld camera movement, shallow depth of field, soft indoor lighting, natural skin texture, realistic facial expressions and authentic high-school atmosphere. Suddenly, a basketball flies toward her at high speed. She stops it effortlessly with one hand. A strange crimson energy begins glowing around her palm. Small luminous particles and sparks float through the air as the energy slowly spreads across her arms. Transition smoothly into an intense superhero-style action sequence. Several students rush toward her in confusion, and one male student attempts to tackle her. She quickly dodges, spins and counters with powerful energy-enhanced martial arts movements. Show fast footwork, realistic punches, sweeping kicks and controlled movements with crimson energy trails. Use cinematic slow motion during a powerful counterattack, followed by fast-paced cuts. Students move away from the court as basketballs roll across the floor. Crimson light realistically reflects across the polished gym floor, bleachers and characters, with subtle smoke, sparks, dust and motion blur. Include a dramatic moment where she jumps onto the basketball court, performs a powerful spinning kick surrounded by crimson energy and sends the opponent sliding backward across the floor. Near the end, the gym becomes quiet. The energy disappears and she calmly picks up the basketball and walks toward the exit. End with a close-up of her face showing a confident, serious expression. Visual style: photorealistic Hollywood superhero movie, cinematic color grading, realistic teenage/high-school environment, detailed faces, natural skin, realistic clothing and hair physics, realistic lighting, subtle film grain, shallow depth of field, professional cinematography, dynamic camera movement, high-detail VFX, realistic particle effects, 4K cinematic quality. Camera: handheld tracking shots, medium shots, close-ups, low-angle action shots, smooth whip-pans, controlled motion blur, occasional slow motion during attacks. Aspect ratio: 16:9. Duration: approximately 30 seconds. No text, no subtitles, no logos, no watermark, no distorted faces, no extra fingers, no unnatural anatomy.

Make it yours

  • 30 seconds is the Seedance 2.5 maximum. To cut cost, drop the middle fight paragraph and keep catch, energy glow and the closing close-up, then set duration to about 15.
  • The prompt already ends with exclusions (no text, no extra fingers, no distorted faces); keep that line, and add a sentence for the same face and outfit across shots so she does not change between cuts.
  • For a vertical cut, switch 16:9 to 9:16 and replace the wide gym tracking opener with a chest-up follow shot, since a tall frame loses the background crowd.
