Prompt (original, unmodified)
Create a realistic 15-second vertical (9:16) handheld smartphone vlog . The video begins outside a modern supermarket in bright daylight. She holds the phone in selfie mode, smiles, and says, "Come grocery shopping with me!" She walks inside while pushing a shopping cart, naturally filming herself. She picks fresh strawberries, bananas, vegetables, milk, bread, cereal, and snacks, occasionally turning the camera to show what's going into the cart. Include close-up shots of products, authentic aisle lighting, and realistic interactions with the environment. She laughs after finding her favorite snack, then films herself using the self-checkout. The final scene shows her walking out of the supermarket carrying grocery bags and an iced coffee, smiling at the camera and saying, "Shopping done! See you in my next vlog!" Ultra-realistic, cinematic smartphone footage, natural facial expressions, smooth handheld camera movement, realistic lighting, 4K quality, shallow depth of field, no AI artifacts, lifestyle influencer aesthetic. Voiceover: > "Come grocery shopping with me! Today I'm picking up fresh fruits, snacks, and a few essentials. I even found my favorite treats! That's everything for today—see you in my next vlog!" Sound Design: Natural supermarket ambience Shopping cart rolling Footsteps Soft conversations in the background Product handling sounds Barcode scanner beeps Checkout bag rustling Outdoor city ambience at the end No background music

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.
