Reference Video Dance Recreation

Seedance 2.0· Video
@Video @FemaleLead @MaleLead Recreate all dance moves, camera work, and transitions from @Video, replacing the two original dancers with the character cards: replace the dancer on the left with @FemaleLead and the dancer on the right with @MaleLead. Keep the choreography, blocking, shot changes, and duration exactly the same as @Video. The appearance, clothing, and hairstyle of @FemaleLead and @MaleLead should match their character cards 100% without drifting throughout the video. Only these two main characters should be present; keep the background crowd blurred. Preserve the original retro nightclub atmosphere, warm spotlights, and film texture. No subtitles.

The Great Era 90s Hk Tv Drama Style Video Prompt

Seedance 2.0· Video
[Style] 90s HK TV Drama Style, Vintage Film Grain, High Contrast Warm Yellowish Tone, Wide-angle lens exaggerated perspective, extremely hysterical emotion, chaotic, noisy, desperate. [Scene] 1990s Hong Kong Stock Exchange hall, floor covered in waste paper, electronic screen is a depressing green (HK stocks drop is green/or use red to indicate crisis, depending on the generation model's interpretation, suggest writing "Plummeting Numbers"). [Character] The Speculator: Wearing a 90s wide-shouldered gray suit, messy hair, covered in sweat, eyes bloodshot and frantic, tightly clutching a "Brick Phone". [Shot Details] [00:00-00:05] Shot 1: The Great Crash - Moment of Madness Visuals: Wide-angle close-up on the face. The protagonist stands in the center of the trading floor, surrounded by blurred running and screaming crowds. Action: He roars hysterically into the "Brick Phone," veins popping, spitting saliva. [Dialogue/Subtitle]: "Don't be afraid! Technical adjustment! Give me more leverage!" (Maximum madness). Atmosphere: Numbers on the background electronic display flash wildly, red and green light interweaving, creating a suffocating sense of urgency. [00:05-00:10] Shot 2: A Moment - The Wind on the Rooftop Visuals: Jump Cut. The camera suddenly switches to the edge of a deserted skyscraper rooftop. Action: The protagonist faces away from the camera, his suit jacket thrown aside, tie loose. The strong wind messes up his hair and shirt. He clutches a crumpled stock certificate, his body swaying precariously. Atmosphere: Instant shift from extreme noise to Deafening Silence, only the sound of howling wind. [00:05-00:15] Shot 3: A Dream - Paper Snow Visuals: Low-angle shot. Action: The protagonist lets go, and countless white stock waste papers fall like snow from the rooftop, scattering onto the bustling yet indifferent Central streets. Close-up: The shot finally focuses on his desperate, hollow eyes (pupils losing highlight), a tear of regret tracing down his face. [Subtitle (Yellow Vintage Font)]: Stock market involves risk, caution is advised upon entry.

Retro Futuristic Robot Design

Midjourney· Image
Full body shot, photorealistic industrial design of a functional retro-futuristic bipedal robot. The robot's main central torso is box-shaped, resembling a vintage 1980s CRT television combined with a microwave, painted in glossy macaron mint green and butter yellow. Crucially, the robot has distinct, mechanical articulated blocky metal arms extending from its sides with visible joints, and sturdy robotic legs ending in small mechanical treads at the base. The front CRT screen displays 8-bit retro pixel art of large, extremely expressive and watery female eyes along with a pink glowing pixelated voice wave at the bottom. One robotic arm is holding a metallic frying pan. Cinematic lighting, hyper-detailed mechanical parts, 8k, Unreal Engine 5 render style. --niji 7

Early-2000s Korean Neighborhood Home Video

Seedance 2.0· Video
Main subject: young Korean woman, early 20s, natural everyday appearance, faded charcoal-grey sleeveless crop top, loose high-waisted light-wash jeans, black canvas sneakers, black cord necklace, black wavy hair in a messy side ponytail with wispy bangs. Realistic skin texture, minimal makeup, warm and approachable personality. Maintain consistent identity, clothing, hairstyle, and appearance throughout the entire video. Location: Authentic Korean residential neighborhood during a calm late morning. Narrow concrete alleys, low-rise homes, small terraces, potted plants, laundry lines, bicycles, utility poles, overhead wires, mature trees casting moving shadows, quiet residential atmosphere. No stores, advertisements, cafés, crowds, or commercial activity. Visual Style: Ultra-realistic documentary realism. Genuine candid behavior. Natural body language. Unscripted slice-of-life feeling. Strong environmental authenticity. Rich real-world details and believable human motion. Camera Style: Early-2000s consumer DV camcorder aesthetic. Friend casually recording everyday moments. Heavy handheld shake, imperfect framing, frequent autofocus hunting, lens breathing, exposure pumping when moving between sun and shade, occasional motion blur, subtle rolling shutter, mild digital compression artifacts, faded colors, soft contrast, slight sensor noise. No stabilization. No cinematic camera moves. No modern color grading. 00:00–00:02 Outside a small house entrance. She sits on a low concrete wall adjusting her ponytail with both hands raised. A light breeze moves loose strands of hair. She smiles naturally while the camera struggles to hold focus. 00:02–00:04 The camera follows her into a narrow alley lined with potted plants and concrete walls. She notices a stray cat approaching and crouches down. Framing drifts off-center as the operator tries to keep up. 00:04–00:06 She gently pets and feeds the cat. Autofocus repeatedly shifts between her face and the animal. Morning sunlight flickers through leaves overhead. 00:06–00:08 Small front yard beside her house. She hangs laundry on a clothesline while fabrics sway in the breeze. Exposure changes as clouds briefly pass overhead. 00:08–00:10 On a quiet terrace with a ceramic coffee cup. She sits comfortably watching the neighborhood, occasionally brushing hair behind her ear. Loose handheld side angle with natural camera drift. 00:10–00:12 Close side profile. Someone off-camera greets her. She turns, raises her hand, smiles warmly, and casually says, “Annyeong.” The camera catches the moment slightly late. 00:12–00:15 Walking slowly down a tree-lined residential lane holding her coffee cup. She notices the camera, gives a small genuine smile, then looks away and continues walking. Recording cuts abruptly to black mid-motion as if the camcorder was switched off. Audio: Natural ambient sound only — morning birds, distant motorcycles, light wind, leaves rustling, faint neighborhood chatter, cat sounds, footsteps on concrete, fabric moving on clotheslines, subtle residential ambience. No music. No sound design. No narration. Goal: Authentic Korean neighborhood life captured like a forgotten home video from the early 2000s — candid, imperfect, realistic, warm, and deeply believable.

Wong Kar Wai Style Melancholy Phone Booth Scene

Seedance 2.0· Video
[Film Style]: 90s Hong Kong Art Cinema style, retro film grain, High ISO Grain, ambiguous Yellow-Green Tint, Step-printing effect, melancholic atmosphere. [Core Dialogue (for emotional control)]: “If memory were a can of food, I hope it would never expire.” [Video Duration]: 10 seconds [Storyboard]: [00:00-00:04] Shot 1: Through the Glass. Scene: A red public telephone booth covered in rainwater. Character: A man (or woman) wearing a khaki trench coat, tightly gripping the receiver, not speaking, just listening. Emotional Performance: Through the refraction of the glass, their eyes appear hollow yet deeply emotional. Rain runs down the glass, distorting their face like an oil painting. Subtitle/Narration Feel: The scene seems frozen, with only the sound of rain. [00:04-00:07] Shot 2: Extreme Close-up & Micro-expression. Scene: Focuses on the character's lips and half of their face. Action: He/She whispers softly into the receiver. The lips tremble slightly, seeming to want to say something but holding back. Lighting: Neon light bokeh from the street flows across their face, flickering on and off. Dialogue Emotion Mapping: Expresses extreme restraint and loneliness, like “wanting to touch but pulling the hand back.” [00:07-00:10] Shot 3: Signature Smeary Slow Motion. Scene: The character hangs up the phone, turns, and walks into the crowd in the rainy night. Visual Effects: Uses a Step-printing effect (Stop-motion feel), the character's silhouette becomes blurred and has Motion Blur, as if their soul remains in place while only their body moves. Environment: The background features flowing city car lights, forming elongated light trails. [Technical Parameters]: Simulated Handheld Camera, shallow depth of field, color shift, intense emotion.

Seedance 2.0· Video
Third-person skateboard rear low-angle view, ultra-wide-angle strong perspective, the camera slowly tilts synchronously with the road's left curve, slight camera shake simulates the feeling of following the ride, low speed entering the curve → rapid acceleration. 【@Image 1】leans left to carve the curve, the hem of the top and hair violently stream backward in the wind; the road's high-brightness white/yellow markings begin to show motion blur, extremely green roadside vegetation and bright red flowers appear as horizontal dynamic blur; distant sea reflections refract light along the curve, high-speed shutter freezes the wheels showing initial afterimages, slight edge blurring, retaining high-saturation pure color contrast between the road surface and flowers/grass, film grain begins to appear. The camera tilts violently left and right following continuous S-curves, closely following the subject in a rapid dive, ultra-wide-angle perspective maximized, small vertical camera bumps enhance the realistic feeling of sliding. Camera locks onto the 【@Image 1】subject throughout, 【@Image 1】continuously shifts weight left and right, body shakes significantly downhill, clothing and hair are completely pulled into streamlined shapes by the strong wind; high-speed rotating wheels pull out long afterimages, road markings turn into dense speed lines, roadside flowers and trees are compressed into colorful blurry color bands; Strong light reflections on the sea surface distort and dissipate with speed, global strong dynamic blur + edge blurring, high-noise film texture maximized, layering in dark areas highlighted, extreme impact from pure color high contrast (green mountains / red flowers / bright markings / blue sea). As the road exits the curve, the camera slowly straightens, the perspective slightly lifts, the follow speed slightly slows but still maintains a high-speed trajectory, ending the violent tilting. 【@Image 1】straightens the body, stabilizes the posture, clothing and hair still retain residual movement; wheel afterimages and speed lines gradually fade but retain dynamic lingering effect, road markings become clear again but edges still retain slight blur; flower and grass blurry color bands converge, sea reflections return to soft light, dynamic blur weakens, retaining the texture of high-speed photography, ending with the back view of 【@Image 1】diving + high-saturation scenery of mountains and sea, maximizing layering and atmosphere.

What Are Retro AI Prompts?

Retro prompts are AI prompts for quickly shaping nostalgic content and vintage media aesthetics. In Carat, you can generate images or video with models like GPT Image 2, then keep going with follow-up work such as editing the result, changing the aspect ratio, removing the background, upscaling, or converting to video.

Where You'll Use It

  • Retro magazine covers
  • Nostalgic social posters
  • Digicam-style portrait images
  • Collage-style campaigns
  • Old fan-page and scrapbook visuals

Why This Tag Is Useful

With retro work, the purpose matters more than simply making something that looks good. Retro isn't just an old feel—it's about recreating the graphic language of a specific era. Pinning down magazine layout, digicam flash, old web UI, and collage texture gets you closer to the nostalgic mood searchers want. When choosing a prompt, look first for examples that show the subject, composition, style, text placement, and intended channel.

Tips for Building Your Prompt

  1. Decide the channel and aspect ratio the result will be used in first.
  2. Spell out the key subject, background, lighting, and camera composition.
  3. If needed, separate out the brand name, product name, character traits, and color palette.
  4. After generating, check for text errors, logo accuracy, and likeness/copyright issues.

In Carat, once you run a prompt you can refine from the result you like, or continue with follow-up work like changing the aspect ratio, removing the background, upscaling, or converting to video.
