Prompt (original, unmodified)
Epic fantasy survival sequence set on a vast frozen tundra beneath storm-filled northern skies. Endless snowfields stretch to the horizon. Winds whip across the landscape. Visibility constantly shifts as snow blows through frame. High-action chase with huge scale and relentless momentum. Sound: pounding footsteps, mammoth calls, werewolf roars, cracking ice, screaming wind. ⸻ 0–3s — HOOK A young hunter sprints across an open snowfield. Animal furs wrapped around his shoulders. A hunting spear gripped tightly in one hand. His breath freezes in the air. Behind him— A colossal white werewolf bursts over a ridge. Nearly nine feet tall. Massive muscles visible beneath thick frost-covered fur. Blue eyes glowing through blowing snow. The creature immediately locks onto him. It charges downhill. Fast. Much too fast. ⸻ 3–6s — ESCALATION The hunter pushes himself harder. Snow explodes beneath every stride. The werewolf rapidly closes distance. Its powerful legs launch it through deep drifts effortlessly. Every leap covers huge ground. The hunter glances back. The beast is only seconds away. Its jaws snap. Its roar echoes across the tundra. ⸻ 6–9s — BUILD Ahead— Movement. A gigantic migrating herd of woolly mammoths crosses the frozen plain. Dozens of them. Towering bodies. Massive curved tusks. The ground vibrates beneath their weight. The hunter changes direction and runs directly toward the herd. The werewolf follows without hesitation. ⸻ 9–12s — THE PLAN The hunter reaches the mammoths. He darts between enormous legs and charging bodies. Snow and ice spray into the air. The werewolf enters the herd moments later. Now completely surrounded by mammoths. The hunter plants his feet. Turns. Throws his spear. Bullet time. The spear spins through the air. Strikes a mammoth’s flank. ⸻ 12–15s — PAYOFF The injured mammoth bellows. The herd panics instantly. Dozens of mammoths turn simultaneously. Thousands of pounds of muscle and tusk begin charging directly toward the werewolf. The beast tries to stop. Too late. The stampede slams into it. Tusks. Snow. Fur. Ice. Chaos. The werewolf disappears beneath a wall of charging mammoths. The hunter watches from a rocky outcrop as the herd thunders past. Snow fills the air. The creature is gone. Only the sound of the stampede remains.

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.
