Duration: 15s | 16:9 Landscape | Native 4K UHD | 24fps Genre: Cinematic Slice-of-Life Fantasy Comedy Target: Ultra-realistic premium live-action fantasy cinema REFERENCE LOCK — @<image1 Use @<image1 as the sole identity reference. Preserve Character A exactly as shown. Exactly one Character A. No redesign, duplication, morphing, identity drift, outfit change, or hairstyle change. CORE CONCEPT Inside an old witch’s cozy kitchen, Character A tries to pour tea from an enchanted silver teapot. The teapot is sitting too far away on a wooden counter. Character A uses one wand to magically pull it closer, but the spell is far too strong. The teapot rockets across the kitchen, flies directly toward Character A, then stops inches before impact and gently pours tea into a cup by itself. SHOT 1 — 0s–4s | THE PROBLEM Wide cinematic kitchen shot. Character A reaches toward a silver teapot positioned far across the wooden counter. The hand clearly cannot reach it. Character A tries once, fails, then gives a tired annoyed look toward the teapot. Slow push-in. Warm morning light through dusty windows. Steam from an old kettle. Natural fabric movement and realistic hand anatomy. SHOT 2 — 4s–7s | THE SPELL Medium profile shot. Character A slowly raises one wand. Extreme close-up of wand tip. Silver-blue magic activates with a restrained glow. Cut to an aligned side angle showing: WAND → OPEN KITCHEN SPACE → TEAPOT At 6s, a thin blue-white magical tether directly connects to the teapot handle. Contact spark. The teapot immediately begins moving. SHOT 3 — 7s–11s | TOO MUCH POWER The teapot suddenly launches across the counter with realistic inertia. Low tracking camera follows it. Tea inside visibly sloshes naturally. Character A's eyes widen slightly but expression remains restrained. At 9.5s, teapot rapidly enters foreground. Character A instinctively leans back. At 10s, teapot stops suddenly just inches from Character A's face. No collision. A brief silence. SHOT 4 — 11s–15s | PERFECTLY USELESS MAGIC Character A slowly looks at the floating teapot. The teapot gently rotates itself. Tea pours perfectly into a waiting cup. Character A watches silently. One tiny exhausted blink. Character A takes the cup and walks away. End while moving. No smile, no camera look, no victory pose. AUDIO + MUSIC Cozy room ambience, wood creaks, ceramic movement, wand ignition, magical hum, rushing air, tea sloshing, pouring tea and footsteps. Music: acoustic guitar, muted piano, soft pizzicato strings, playful clarinet and brushed percussion. Music remains below SFX. No dialogue, vocals, boing, circus music, laugh track or meme sounds. CAUSALITY TEAPOT TOO FAR → HAND FAILS → WAND RAISES → MAGIC CONNECTS → TEAPOT LAUNCHES → RAPID APPROACH → SUDDEN STOP → TEA POURS → CHARACTER A LEAVES. NEGATIVE PROMPT Extra characters, duplicate teapot, duplicate wand, floating objects

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.
