Prompt (original, unmodified)
Scene: Young man, early 20s, messy hair, plain white tee, sitting at a minimal wooden desk by a bright window. Smartphone in hand, ceramic coffee mug beside an open notebook. Bookshelf softly out of focus in background. Style: Daylight vlog aesthetic, warm natural morning feel, muted beige and cream tones, gentle handheld rhythm. Lighting: Soft diffused morning window light from the left, even and warm, subtle shadow on right side of face. Audio: Soft ambient city morning sounds, espresso hiss, gentle paper rustle. [0-3s] Camera: Handheld wide establishing shot of the desk setup, gentle settle. Action: He picks up his coffee with one hand while scrolling his phone with the other, relaxed and unhurried. Lighting: Clean window light floods the desk. [3-7s] Camera: Slow push-in to medium chest shot. Action: He pauses his scroll, double-taps the screen, and corners of his mouth lift into a small quiet smile. Lighting: Soft side window light, gentle shadow shaping. [7-11s] Camera: Hard cut to close-up of the phone screen glowing, hand tilting slightly. Action: His thumb scrolls slowly through a social feed, then stops on a video. The screen light shifts slightly. Lighting: Screen glow cold against warm desk ambient. [11-15s] Camera: Pull back to medium, he sets the phone down and picks up his pen to write in the notebook. Action: He writes a quick note, glances back at the phone, then exhales and leans into his work. Lighting: Warm window light, soft and clean. Avoid: Jitter, identity drift, staged ad feel, overexposed window.

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.
