Prompt (original, unmodified)
Characters: CEO is a fluffy orange tabby cat wearing a fitted navy suit and tie, seated at the head of a long glass conference table. Human employees in business attire fill the seats around the table. Scene: Luxury corporate boardroom, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a city skyline, framed charts and graphs on a large display screen behind the cat. Style: Prestige drama film tone, dry deadpan comedy, warm amber-mahogany palette, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Lighting: Warm overhead pendant lights, soft golden rim light on the cat, cool blue daylight spilling from the city windows. Audio: Tense orchestral underscore with low brass swells, sharp SFX punctuation on each cat action, muffled office ambiance, AC hum. [0-3s] — Establishing Camera: Slow wide push-in from the back of the boardroom. Action: The orange cat in a suit stands at the head of the table, raising one paw and tapping a bar chart on the display screen behind him. Lighting: Warm amber overhead wash, screen glow backlighting the cat. SFX: Low orchestral swell, soft pointer tap on screen. [3-6s] — Employees React Camera: Fixed medium shot across the table, facing the employees. Hard cut from previous shot. Action: Six nervous employees begin clapping stiffly, eyes wide, smiles strained and hollow. Lighting: Even cool overhead office light, slight shadow under each face. SFX: Slow, uncertain applause, a throat-clear, shuffling papers. [6-10s] — Laptop Incident Camera: Low tabletop angle, fixed. Hold. Action: The cat slowly turns, locks eyes with an open laptop at the edge of the table, then swipes it cleanly off with one deliberate paw. Lighting: Warm side light on cat, deep shadow behind. SFX: Sharp laptop crash on floor, echoing in the silent room. Gasps from employees. [10-13s] — Dramatic Zoom Camera: Slow push-in to extreme close-up on the cat's face. Action: The cat's eyes narrow. Its mouth opens in a wide, silent, furious meow — jaw fully extended. Lighting: Single warm overhead spot, deep dramatic shadow framing both cheeks. SFX: Orchestral sting, dead silence — then a single low bass hit on the meow. [13-15s] — Title Card Beat Camera: Static wide shot, full boardroom. Hold. Action: The cat sits back down calmly, adjusting its tie. The employees stare frozen. Dialogue: "Quarterly profits are down." Lighting: Room dims slightly, cool blue from the windows takes over. SFX: Low cello note sustains. Silence. Avoid: Identity drift on the cat between shots, jitter, temporal flicker, chaotic composition

How this prompt compares
The techniques this prompt uses are more common in character prompts than in the library overall:
| Technique | In character | Library average | Lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| static/fixed | 11% | 8% | 1.3x |
Across all 5,926 prompts, the techniques used here appear at: close-up 40%, wide shot 26%, warm tone 17%, backlight 16%.
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.
