Prompt (original, unmodified)
[PROSE & NARRATIVE ACTION LOCK]\nA 23yo Chinese-Indonesian woman, 165cm, French-bob with blue streaks, sits at an SCBD desk typing on a keyboard (0.0s-1.2s). Urgent pop-ups flood screen; she exhales, sipping iced latte as her watch flashes red alert (1.2s-3.0s). At 3.0s, [HARD CUT: SLAM SHOT], she slams the cup, kicks chair back, flicks off glasses (3.0s-4.8s). At 4.8s, [HARD CUT: DYNAMIC SPIN], she flings her blazer up, popping gum with a smirk as cyan-magenta bio-electricity crackles across fingers (4.8s-7.0s). At 7.0s, [HARD CUT: GROUND IMPACT], sneakers stomp the floor with an ionic wave; the airborne blazer morphs into a bio-neon jacket she catches and zips (7.0s-9.4s). At 9.4s, [HARD CUT: VISOR DEPLOY & ROOFTOP SHIFT], cyan visor locks on and copper bracers snap shut as she leaps through balcony glass into Jakarta sunset sky (9.4s-11.0s). At 11.0s, [HARD CUT: MONUMENTAL WIDE], she flips mid-air, fires a magenta energy whip, swings over Sudirman, and lands 3-point on a helipad at 12.8s kicking up glowing dust (11.0s-13.4s). At 13.4s, [HARD CUT: TIGHT 75mm CHOKER CLOSE-UP], she blows a pink gum bubble that pops, speaking strictly from 13.4s to 14.2s in fluent Indonesian Gen Z cadence: \"Deadline jam lima? Gue yang tentuin.\" From 14.2s to 15.0s, [SETTLE STANCE HOLD], standing upright, hands on hips, living chest breathing, 0% frozen frame.\n\n[ACTING, MICRO-EXPRESSIONS & BIOLOGICAL REALISM]\nAnya exhibits somatic realism: eyelid fatigue shifting to pupil dilation (AU5), laryngeal swallow, asymmetric Duchenne smirk (AU12+AU6), masseter jaw pulse upon landing, specular iris reflections of neon arcs, natural skin micro-pores with satin finish, 0% tears, 0% plastic smoothing.\n\n[CAMERA RIG, OPTICS & MOTION BLUR]\nPanavision DXL2 Large Format, Primo 70mm and 40mm Primes, 90-degree fast shutter on impact to 180-degree natural blur, snap-push zooms, tight 75mm prime on dialogue, Light Iron Color 3, cyan-magenta chiaroscuro against dusk, operator sway.

How this prompt compares
The techniques this prompt uses are more common in cyberpunk prompts than in the library overall:
| Technique | In cyberpunk | Library average | Lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| tracking | 53% | 41% | 1.28x |
| neon | 43% | 12% | 3.54x |
| rim light | 22% | 10% | 2.24x |
Across all 5,926 prompts, the techniques used here appear at: tracking 41%, close-up 40%, backlight 16%, neon 12%.
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.
