Prompt (original, unmodified)
Cinematic vertical 16:9 short video, ultra realistic live action style, gritty street fight, natural lighting, shaky handheld camera, highly detailed, photorealistic. A tough young man (athletic build, short black hair, wearing black hoodie and jeans, intense focused expression) stands in a narrow dirty urban alley at night. Suddenly, 4 aggressive street thugs (mixed ages, rough look, armed with knives and sticks) attack him from different directions. Extremely raw and realistic fight sequence: - He blocks a punch, counters with powerful elbows and knees to the body. - Grabs one attacker, slams him hard against the wall, then throws him into others. - Takes a hit but immediately responds with fast brutal combos hooks, uppercuts, and takedowns. - Uses environment: smashes head into dumpster, kicks one in the knee, disarms a knife and uses it to threaten. - Ends with him standing over the defeated group, breathing heavily, blood on his face, intense stare at camera. Dynamic shaky camera work, realistic impacts with visible force, sweat, blood, heavy breathing sounds, fast but grounded movements, no wirework or superhuman jumps. Brutal, messy, and authentic like real street fight. Fast-paced intense action, cinematic realism, masterpiece quality, viral short film style, no text on screen whatsoever, exactly 15 seconds duration

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.
