Prompt (original, unmodified)
Use the attached THE WOK CHEF storyboard image as the exact visual reference. Create a 15-second 16:9 animated wok cooking sequence that follows the 8-shot storyboard exactly. Preserve the same Pixar-style young Chinese male chef, white jacket, red apron, intense expression, professional open kitchen with industrial gas burner throughout. Rules: •Follow the sequence exactly from 1 to 8 •One shot per panel, approximately 1.5 seconds each •No skipped steps, no extra ingredients beyond the storyboard •Maintain character and kitchen continuity throughout •Emphasize the fireball, the chop speed, the toss arc, and the final satisfied nod Shot sequence: 1.Chef slams wok onto industrial burner with both hands — blue flames roar up instantly around the base, wide kitchen establishing shot, fierce and locked in 2.Oil poured into screaming hot wok — violent sizzle on contact, white smoke explosion erupts upward, close-up on the wok surface shimmering with heat 3.Chef tilts wok toward the flame — massive fireball erupts upward filling the entire frame, orange and yellow, chef’s face lit from below, eyes fierce and focused. The hero moment 4.Chef at the board, knife blurring through vivid vegetables at high speed — bok choy, red peppers, orange carrots flying to the side, motion blur on the blade, fast and rhythmic 5.Chef flicks the wok — everything airborne in a full arc above the wok, vivid vegetables suspended mid-air, flames and steam beneath, chef watching the arc with total confidence 6.Dark glossy sauce poured in from above — hits the hot wok and sizzles and caramelizes instantly, dramatic steam cloud erupts, rich amber coating everything 7.Chef slides everything onto a white plate in one clean motion — steam rising, vegetables glistening, sauce coating perfectly, overhead beauty shot 8.Chef tastes from a spoon — eyes narrow slowly, slight satisfied nod. Done. Perfect. Burner still roaring orange behind him. Tight on his face. Camera: •Wide establishing shot for the wok slam •Close-up on the wok surface for the oil •Low angle dramatic for the fireball — flames filling the frame top to bottom •Side angle tight for the chop — knife blur visible •Wide angle for the toss — full arc of food visible mid-air •Close-up on the wok for the sauce pour •Overhead for the plate beauty shot •Tight on chef face for the final taste Style: •Fierce orange and yellow flame light throughout •Vivid jade green vegetables, glossy black wok, rich amber sauce, bright white steam •Pixar CGI vivid expressive animation — high energy, never dark •Motion blur on fast actions — chop, toss, wok slam •Every cut fast and punchy matching the pace of the cooking Sound design: Fast energetic Chinese kitchen music plays from the very first frame to the very last — continuous, uninterrupted, same track throughout all 8 shots without any breaks or silence. Underneath the music, punchy natural kitchen sound

How this prompt compares
The techniques this prompt uses are more common in 3D cartoon prompts than in the library overall:
| Technique | In 3D cartoon | Library average | Lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| warm tone | 24% | 17% | 1.39x |
Across all 5,926 prompts, the techniques used here appear at: tracking 41%, close-up 40%, wide shot 26%, warm tone 17%.
The 15s duration is not arbitrary: 71% of the prompts in this library that state a duration ask for exactly 15 seconds — Seedance 2.0 accepts clips up to 15 seconds, so 15s is the model's ceiling and the most common choice.
