Authentic Smartphone Morning Vlog with Locked Character Identity
A 15-second ultra-photorealistic smartphone-style vlog following a woman through a morning outing: bakery, tree-lined street, park, street market, riverside path, and a scenic viewpoint. The prompt locks her identity from a reference image and uses handheld shake, autofocus hunting, and natural lighting to mimic real phone footage across seven timed scenes.

Prompt (original, unmodified)
Keep the exact identity from @image1 locked throughout the entire video. Preserve the same face, hairstyle, skin tone, body proportions, clothing style, and natural expressions in every shot. Generate a 15-second ultra-photorealistic smartphone lifestyle vlog that feels like it was casually recorded on a real phone. Use authentic handheld movement, slight natural hand shake, realistic autofocus hunting, minor exposure adjustments, true smartphone stabilization, and natural lighting. No cinematic camera moves, no CGI look, no beauty filters, no slow motion, no text, no subtitles, no logos, and no watermarks. Scene 1 (0:00–0:02) Early morning outside a neighborhood bakery. She walks toward the entrance while holding a paper coffee cup, flips the camera to selfie mode, smiles naturally, and says, "Good morning!" Scene 2 (0:02–0:04) Inside the bakery, she records a display of fresh pastries before picking one, laughing softly as the camera briefly struggles to refocus. Scene 3 (0:04–0:06) She exits the shop and walks through a quiet tree-lined street, taking a sip of coffee while filming the peaceful surroundings. Scene 4 (0:06–0:08) She sits on a park bench, turns the camera toward birds, flowers, and people walking nearby, then smiles back at the lens. Scene 5 (0:08–0:10) At a small weekend street market, she casually browses handmade items, briefly holding one up to the camera before putting it back. Scene 6 (0:10–0:12) She walks beside a calm riverside path, filming the water, passing cyclists, and green scenery while enjoying the fresh air. Scene 7 (0:12–0:15) She stops near a scenic viewpoint, switches to selfie mode, gives a cheerful wave, smiles brightly, says, "See you next time!", then reaches toward the phone to naturally end the recording. Audio: Only authentic environmental sounds: birds, footsteps, light conversations, coffee shop ambience, distant traffic, bicycles passing, breeze through trees, water flowing, and natural city ambience. No background music, voice-over, captions, logos, or watermarks. The final result should look exactly like an authentic smartphone vlog recorded by a real person during a relaxing morning outing.

How this prompt compares
The techniques this prompt uses are more common in UGC prompts than in the library overall:
| Technique | In UGC | Library average | Lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| handheld | 78% | 24% | 3.22x |
| close-up | 64% | 40% | 1.6x |
| natural light | 64% | 28% | 2.26x |
Across all 5,926 prompts, the techniques used here appear at: tracking 41%, close-up 40%, 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.
