Chaos in the Market

Seedance 2.0· Video
Generate a Video: SCENE 10 — THE LAST RECORDING Attachments: CITY ANOMALY (Environment Reference), MAIN CHARACTER (Character Appearance) Duration: 10 seconds Audio: Heavy breathing. Running footsteps. People screaming. Car alarms. Deep distant rumbling. Concrete collapsing. Wind. No background music. Prompt Source images are only used as visual references. Maintain the colossal anomaly exactly as shown in the reference image. Transform into fully photorealistic live-action footage. Ultra realistic. True live action. Authentic found-footage. Real handheld recording. Grounded cinematic realism. One continuous shot. Natural handheld instability. Strong motion blur during running. Natural autofocus hunting. No cuts. No teleportation. No CGI look. No visual effects. The recording begins in unstable accidental selfie view while the operator continues sprinting through the crowded city. Only part of the operator's terrified face is visible as the camera violently shakes with every step. Heavy breathing dominates the audio. The operator gasps, "No... no... keep going!" The camera suddenly jerks downward as the operator trips and falls hard onto the pavement. The recording tumbles across the ground before coming to rest on its side, pointing upward toward the skyline. The operator scrambles back to their feet and runs out of frame, leaving the camera behind. For a brief moment, only the sky and surrounding skyscrapers are visible. Then the impossibly colossal organic hand, exactly matching the attached reference image, slowly descends through the storm clouds in the distance. The enormous hand slams into the skyline far away, sending a massive shockwave through the city. Buildings disappear behind towering clouds of dust and debris as thick smoke rapidly fills the horizon. Orange firelight flickers deep within the expanding dust cloud while the sky darkens. The camera remains abandoned on the ground, trembling slightly from the distant impact. Dust begins drifting toward the lens. The image becomes increasingly obscured by smoke and airborne debris. The recording abruptly cuts to black, as if the device stopped recording or lost signal at the worst possible moment.

Found-Footage Style Superpower Fight

Seedance 2.0· Video
[IMAGE REFERENCES] No external references. Maintain perfect visual consistency for both fighters' exact appearance, hair, body type, clothing and proportions throughout the entire 15-second continuous clip. 0-3s: [Continuous Shaky Handheld] The shaky phone captures a bald fighter with a third eye on his forehead, white headband and green gi facing a tall athletic woman with long black hair in a high ponytail and red battle armor. They circle each other. The woman dashes in with fast kicks. The bald fighter blocks and counters with precise palm strikes. The camera shakes with every exchange. 3-6s: The bald fighter fires a bright triangular energy blast from his forehead. The woman dodges at the last second and the blast explodes against the ground. She immediately counters with a spinning kick to his side. The handheld footage shakes hard from the explosion. 6-9s: The woman grabs the bald fighter's arm and throws him over her shoulder. He flips and lands on his feet, then fires a rapid volley of energy blasts from both hands. The woman weaves between them with incredible agility. The camera pans and tilts constantly with heavy natural shake and motion blur. 9-12s: The bald fighter charges and they clash in close combat again. The woman lands a powerful knee to his stomach and follows with an elbow to the back of his head. The shaky camera moves in closer, the operator clearly excited and breathing hard. 12-15s: The bald fighter staggers but recovers and fires one final powerful blast. The woman crosses her arms and blocks it, the energy pushing her back several meters and kicking up dust. The continuous footage keeps rolling as the dust settles and both fighters catch their breath, the camera still shaking naturally. Style & quality boosters: Raw consumer found footage aesthetic, heavy handheld instability and micro-shakes, natural motion blur from camera movement, realistic lens flare and slight overexposure on energy flashes, coherent superhuman physics and impacts visible through dust and debris, amateur recording feel with no stabilization, no text, no overlays, no watermarks, continuous single shot, documentary raw video style.

Vintage Fisheye Fashion Film in a Parking Garage

Seedance 2.5· Video
Create a 15 second cinematic underground fashion film in 16:9 inside a real concrete multilevel parking garage at night. Two stylish adult women are the central subjects. One has long straight black hair with blunt bangs, narrow dark futuristic sunglasses, a distressed silver and black sleeveless graphic top, layered metallic necklaces, stacked bracelets, fingerless black gloves, loose dark trousers, chunky black footwear and a large worn black shoulder bag. The second has long pale blonde hair under a fitted black beanie, oversized rectangular black sunglasses, a fitted white top, oversized black jacket slipping casually from her shoulders, a short dark skirt, black thigh high socks, chunky shoes, silver jewelry and a large textured handbag. Use an extremely wide vintage fisheye lens with visible barrel distortion and strong perspective stretching. The camera should feel like a real person holding a small early digital camcorder at arm length. Preserve tiny framing mistakes, slight horizon drift, natural hand vibration, physical footsteps, unpredictable body proximity, realistic autofocus breathing and occasional motion blur. Never make movement perfectly stabilized or mechanically smooth. Open extremely close to both women crouching beside a black motorcycle, staring calmly into the lens while a fluorescent fixture blooms above them. Rapidly orbit and tilt around them as they adjust sunglasses, move their hair and casually interact with the camera. Cut to a dramatic floor level detail of the motorcycle engine, rear wheel, frame, dark metal and chrome reflecting harsh ceiling light. Show both women crouching over an open bag with believable personal objects scattered on the concrete. Insert a brief near black rhythmic cut. Return with an intimate overhead fisheye angle while they search through the bag. The blonde woman raises a tiny silver compact camera toward the lens. One woman stands and crosses the painted white pedestrian stripes while the other collects her bag. Follow them through the garage with loose handheld backward movement. Include concrete pillars, curved driving lanes, yellow curb paint, white directional markings, a black parked car and a white van deep in the background. Around the middle create one very brief three image editorial collage of the dark haired woman from different close perspectives, then immediately return to natural live action. Show her walking away carrying the heavy black bag before both women turn and confidently walk back toward the camera. As they approach, allow the fisheye perspective to enlarge their faces, hands and clothing naturally. Finish by returning to the motorcycle where they crouch close to the camera again, creating a seamless visual loop to the opening shot. Lighting must come almost entirely from practical cold fluorescent garage fixtures with slightly green white color, blown highlights around lamps, deep soft shadows under eyes and clothing, subdued concrete colors

Bigfoot Forest Found Footage

Seedance 2.5· Video
Ultra-realistic amateur cryptid sighting footage. Cheap handheld camcorder look, low-quality image, unstable zoom, bad autofocus, heavy digital grain, compression artifacts, shaky framing, harsh breathing close to the microphone, accidental overexposure through the trees, raw found-footage realism. No polished cinema look. One unseen camera operator only, frightened adult hiker breathing heavily behind the camera. One massive Bigfoot-like forest creature: tall, broad, covered in dark matted hair, humanlike posture, heavy natural movement, never cartoonish. Dense forest in daylight, uneven ground, wet leaves, tree trunks, foggy depth, broken branches, deep natural shadows. Authentic low-grade camcorder texture, believable forest sound, realistic creature anatomy, limited but clear reveal, unstable autofocus, strong viral payoff, natural movement, terrifying realism, no comedy, no clean digital polish. 0-5s: Shaky handheld POV - The camera moves through the forest, breathing loud, branches hitting the lens. The operator whispers in French: “Attends… attends… c’est quoi ça là-bas ?” The image struggles to focus between trees. 5-10s: Messy zoom-in - Through the trees, a huge hairy figure is barely visible in the distance, half-hidden behind a trunk. The operator mutters: “Non… non… c’est pas possible…” The creature slowly steps forward into a small patch of light. 10-15s: Unstable push and panic reframing - The Bigfoot-like creature turns its head toward the camera. Clear view for only a second: massive shoulders, long arms, wet dark fur, heavy breathing. The operator gasps and whispers: “Oh mon Dieu…” 15-20s: Violent shake, partial loss of frame - The creature suddenly lets out a deep roar and takes two fast steps toward camera. The operator panics, stumbles backward, drops the camera toward the ground. The last image catches the creature rushing closer through the trees before the footage cuts to black.79:T7b3,Ultra-realistic amateu

Found-Footage POV Forest Horror

Seedance 2.5· Video
POV found-footage horror scene in an original forest-lost-survival horror aesthetic. The entire scene is from first-person perspective, as if filmed on an old handheld consumer camera. Low-quality image, unstable autofocus, dirty digital grain, compression artifacts, low dynamic range, weak exposure, occasional glitch flicker, raw amateur camera texture. Deep forest at night, wet ground, dead branches, distant wind, then inside a decaying abandoned wooden house hidden in the trees. Mood: extreme tension, suffocating dread, oppressive silence broken by panicked breathing and quiet sobbing. 0–5s: shaky POV moving through dense dark forest with flashlight beam trembling. Heavy breathing close to the microphone. The person whispers through tears: "I don’t know where I am… please… please..." Branches scrape the lens, footsteps crunch on wet leaves. 5–10s: the camera stumbles toward the old house. Fast unstable push through the doorway into a rotten interior. Floorboards creak. The breathing becomes more frantic. The person starts crying harder and says: "Someone is in here… I heard it…" 10–15s: slow pan across the dark room, filthy walls, broken furniture, hanging fabric moving slightly. The camera catches a childlike bundle of sticks hanging in a corner. A faint noise comes from upstairs. The person gasps, starts trembling, and whispers: "No… no… don’t do this..." 15–20s: the POV turns toward a doorway. In the far corner of the room, a motionless human figure stands facing the wall. The camera freezes, breathing turns into sobbing. The person whispers: "Why are you standing there?" The figure slowly tilts its head without turning around. Hard camera glitch, violent drop in the frame, instant blackout. Authentic raw POV horror, realistic panic breathing, crying voice, unstable handheld motion, oppressive forest and house atmosphere, no cinematic polish, viral terrifying payoff, normal proportions without stretch.3f:T7b3,POV found-footag

Realistic Paparazzi Tabloid Footage

Seedance 2.5· Video
Ultra-realistic low-quality tabloid footage from a staged paparazzi-style scene. Old handheld consumer camera with cheap long zoom, heavy compression, unstable autofocus, rolling shutter, blown highlights, digital noise, accidental reframing and muffled wind audio. Bright humid Miami afternoon. Raw amateur look, no cinematic polish. Authentic low-grade tabloid texture, fictional adults, staged consent, imperfect focus, realistic sunlight and water reflections, natural body proportions, no nudity, no logos, no readable text. One fictional adult female celebrity, glamorous, wearing an elegant swim outfit and sunglasses. One fictional adult man in an open linen shirt and swim shorts. Both are consenting performers in a staged scene, with no resemblance to real public figures. Luxury Miami villa terrace with infinity pool, palm trees, white stone, glass walls and ocean skyline. Camera hidden behind leaves and a distant balcony railing. 0-5s: Shaky extreme long shot - The camera searches through palm leaves, loses focus, then catches the woman walking barefoot beside the pool. The operator whispers: “Wait… is that her?” 5-10s: Unstable digital zoom - The man approaches. They laugh, stand close and exchange a brief romantic kiss. Autofocus pulses between leaves and their faces. 10-15s: Crash zoom + bad reframing - She suddenly looks directly toward the lens. The operator lowers the camera in panic, showing only the railing, pool reflections and part of the terrace. 15-20s: Messy handheld recovery - The camera rises again. Both performers are now staring straight at the lens. The woman smiles, waves and says: “You really thought this was leaked?” Abrupt cut to black.41:T6a8,Ul

What Are Found Footage AI Prompts?

These prompts recreate the look of raw footage shot by someone caught in the moment. They are used to portray disasters, creatures, or incidents with documentary-style realism.

Where You'll Use It

  • Disaster scenes of a massive creature attacking a city
  • Superpower fights shown from a bystander's viewpoint
  • Creature-feature style teaser clips
  • Breaking-news style on-the-ground footage
  • Opening scenes for horror or suspense content

Why This Tag Is Useful

Found footage works through camera shake and rough image quality alone to create tension and a sense of realism. It can make an event feel like it's really happening without any complex CG work.

Tips for Crafting Prompts

  1. Include style keywords like "raw handheld camera" or "found footage"
  2. Specify the viewpoint, such as first-person or someone filming while running
  3. Describe the scale of the event, like a giant hand or a creature
  4. Add details like image degradation or shake for extra realism

Just nailing down the viewpoint and situation is enough to produce footage that feels like a real eyewitness account.
