Seedance 2 video prompt by LadyWasabi // LouieVerse · original post
A character-lock prompt for image-to-video generation that defines a young woman by her outfit and hair from a reference image. The camera is constrained to never reveal her face, keeping it hidden through angle, hair, and framing.
the prompt
CHARACTER LOCK: = <image> Young woman from reference image. Long flowing black hair, pink cat-ear cap, black jacket with pink accents, pink plaid skirt, pink boots. Camera NEVER reveals her face. Face always hidden by angle, hair, framing, silhouette, or rear perspective. SCENE: A peaceful summer afternoon after rainfall in the Japanese countryside near a railroad crossing. Wet pavement, reflective puddles, wildflowers, utility poles, train tracks, distant town skyline, enormous towering cumulonimbus clouds filling the horizon. The atmosphere is nostalgic, magical, emotional, dreamlike, and deeply cinematic. OPENING SHOT: Ultra-low camera angle only inches above the ground. Camera slowly tracks behind her pink boots as she walks through shallow rain puddles. Every footstep creates beautiful high-detail slow-motion water splashes. Tiny droplets explode into the air with physically realistic water simulation. Golden sunlight passes through suspended droplets, creating sparkling highlights, rainbow refractions, lens glints, and prism effects. The wet ground acts like a mirror, reflecting the sky, clouds, power lines, and railroad crossing. Foreground water droplets occasionally pass directly across the lens. SLOW MOTION EMPHASIS. CUT TO: Side tracking shot moving parallel with her. Warm summer breeze gently animates her long black hair, jacket straps, ribbons, skirt, and clothing details. Hair flows naturally with layered motion. Cloth simulation feels soft, weighty, and realistic. Wildflowers bend softly in the wind. Soap bubbles drift through the air. Tiny floating particles sparkle in sunlight. Power lines stretch endlessly toward the horizon. Atmospheric depth creates strong sense of scale. CUT TO: Large cinematic orbit around her from behind. Camera slowly circles while always keeping her face hidden. The sky dominates the composition. Massive towering summer clouds rise into the atmosphere. Sunlight breaks through cloud openings. Powerful god rays flood the scene. Volumetric lighting fills the air. Light scatters through moisture. Water droplets suspended around her glow like floating diamonds. Lens flares bloom naturally as the camera crosses the sunlight. Soft anamorphic streaks. Subtle bloom. Beautiful cinematic glare effects. MOMENT: She begins lightly skipping home. Playful, carefree, joyful movement. Each hop sends water erupting into the air. Huge slow-motion splash arcs. Thousands of droplets fill the foreground. The camera follows from low angles, side angles, rear angles, and sweeping orbit movements. The sunlight shines through the airborne water. Prismatic rainbow effects. Magical sparkle highlights. Dreamlike atmosphere. CINEMATIC B-ROLL INSERTS: Macro shot of raindrops striking puddles. Extreme close-up of pink boots splashing water. Reflection shot showing her silhouette rippling across puddles. Close-up of flowing black hair illuminated by golden backlight. Close-up of wildflowers dancing in the breeze. Soap bubbles floating through sunbeams. Sunlight passing through droplets creating miniature rainbows. FINAL SHOTS: Camera cranes upward. The girl becomes small against the landscape. The railroad crossing. The reflective road. The fields. The distant town skyline. The endless clouds. The massive sky. She continues skipping home toward the horizon. The wind carries her hair behind her. Water glows beneath her feet. Sunlight floods the scene. The entire world feels peaceful, magical, nostalgic, and alive. VISUAL PRIORITIES: Ultra-detailed water physics. High-end splash simulation. Mirror-like puddle reflections. Cinematic lens flares. Golden-hour backlighting. Volumetric god rays. Floating particles. Soap bubbles. Dreamlike atmosphere. Natural hair simulation. Natural cloth simulation. Environmental storytelling. Emotional visual narrative. Dynamic cinematic camera movement. Large-scale cloud formations. Strong atmospheric perspective. Magical realism. Anime feature film quality. STYLE: Premium anime feature film. Painterly anime realism. Studio-quality animation. Breathtaking cloudscapes. Highly detailed environments. Cinematic composition. Golden-hour lighting. Dreamlike summer nostalgia. Emotional storytelling. Masterpiece quality. 4K. Ultra detailed. NEGATIVE PROMPT: face reveal, visible face, looking at camera, front view, dialogue, talking, crowd, busy city, action combat, dark horror atmosphere, gloomy mood, stiff animation, stiff hair, stiff cloth, poor splash simulation, weak reflections, low detail clouds, low quality water physics, shaky camera, handheld camera shake, washed colors, overexposed image, blurry puddles, CGI plastic look, video game rendering, photorealistic human skin, low detail environment, static character, frozen hair, weak lighting, flat composition
