Examples

Preserve the exact handmade clay stop-motion style, the single purple one-eyed creature, peach stool, kitchen, cream plate and green jelly from the reference. In one locked four-second shot the monster makes ONE small gentle poke onto the top of the jelly using the fingertip already above it, then withdraws the hand. The jelly wobbles elastically in place on its stationary plate. The monster leans back a little in delighted surprise with its feet firmly planted and its one eye widening slightly, then holds. Keep exactly one eye and two arms, stable anatomy and clay texture. A soft funny plop at contact followed by two quiet gelatin jiggle sounds and gentle room ambience. No speech, music, camera cuts, text or logos.

Use the supplied images as the first and last frames of one continuous locked four-second botanical macro observation. Preserve the exact pot, sensitive-plant sprig, black bench, task lighting, probe and framing. The probe advances only a few millimeters, briefly touches the main open compound leaf, then withdraws slightly. The paired tiny leaflets progressively fold inward along their existing central midrib, matching the closed main leaf in the final image. Smooth small local motion, no new branches, no morphing plant, no camera movement or cuts. Subtle short mechanical servo sound for the probe and quiet indoor ventilation; no dramatic plant sound, speech, music, titles or logos.

Seedance 1.5 Pro Image to Video

Seedance 1.5 Pro Image to Video is developed by ByteDance’s Seed team to animate still images through joint audio-video generation. The first image anchors the opening scene, and an optional second image guides the ending frame, while text describes the movement, dialogue and atmosphere. This combination gives product demonstrations, character performances and visual storyboards a clear starting composition and a directed progression.
