Prompt (original, unmodified)
A 15-second photorealistic smartphone selfie vlog that looks exactly like a real mobile phone recording. A young woman (image = her face and hair) is exploring the quiet streets of Kyoto, Japan on a bicycle during a sunny afternoon. She films herself in selfie mode with natural handheld movement, subtle hand shake, realistic smartphone autofocus, authentic stabilization, and true-to-life colors. Smiling at the camera, she says, "Let's explore Kyoto today!" She happily rides through narrow traditional streets lined with wooden houses, then notices she's taken a wrong turn and laughs, saying, "I think I'm lost!" Continuing down a peaceful path, she unexpectedly discovers a beautiful hidden Japanese shrine surrounded by tall trees and red torii gates. She parks her bicycle, walks toward the shrine with a surprised smile, captures a few quick shots of the peaceful scenery, then turns the camera back to herself and says, "Getting lost was worth it!" She gives a warm wave, smiles brightly, and says, "See you next time. Bye!" before reaching toward the phone to end the recording. The video should feel exactly like a genuine smartphone vlog with natural human movement, consistent facial features, realistic bicycle riding, authentic Kyoto atmosphere, no beauty filters, no CGI, no AI-plastic appearance, no subtitles, no logos, no watermark, and no background music—only birds, bicycle sounds, soft wind, footsteps, and natural outdoor ambience.

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.
