Prompt (original, unmodified)
Main Subject: Young Korean woman in her early 20s with a natural everyday appearance. She wears a faded charcoal-grey sleeveless crop top, loose high-waisted light-wash jeans, black canvas sneakers, and a black cord necklace. Her black wavy hair is tied in a messy side ponytail with wispy bangs. Realistic skin texture, minimal makeup, warm and approachable personality. Maintain identical identity, clothing, hairstyle, and facial features throughout the entire video. Style: Ultra-realistic smartphone home video footage. Natural mobile phone camera quality with slight authentic handheld shake, casual framing imperfections, smooth natural motion, and unpolished weekend home-video aesthetics. No cinematic polish or professional effects. Location: Small Korean home courtyard during a peaceful weekend morning with soft natural sunlight, potted plants, fallen leaves, and subtle ambient breeze. 0–3s: She casually sweeps fallen leaves from the concrete courtyard while the handheld camera gently sways, capturing a candid moment. 3–6s: The camera accidentally frames only half of her body as the autofocus briefly hunts before naturally correcting itself, preserving the authentic smartphone-recording feel. 6–9s: She waters several potted plants while smiling softly as sunlight reflects naturally from the leaves and watering can. 9–12s: She wipes sweat from her forehead, laughs naturally at the person filming, and briefly brushes loose strands of hair from her face. 12–15s: She picks up the watering can and walks back inside the house as the recording abruptly ends like a genuine weekend memory. Audio Design: - Soft morning birdsong. - Gentle breeze moving through leaves and plants. - Natural footsteps on concrete. - Water pouring softly from the watering can. - Subtle clothing movement and ambient courtyard sounds. - Quiet candid laughter and realistic smartphone audio characteristics.

How this prompt compares
The techniques this prompt uses are more common in vlog prompts than in the library overall:
| Technique | In vlog | Library average | Lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| handheld | 55% | 24% | 2.29x |
| natural light | 56% | 28% | 1.97x |
Across all 5,926 prompts, the techniques used here appear at: natural light 29%, handheld 24%.
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.
