Full Seedance 2.5 prompt revealed: 20-second animated short with 19 hard cuts
socialwithaayan · x · 2026-10-25
Blogger socialwithaayan shared the complete workflow and full prompt for generating a 20-second animated short (a squirrel retrieving its acorn from a crocodile river) with Seedance 2.5.
Key steps:
- Lock characters before any video: separate reference sheets for the squirrel, acorn, crocodiles and forest to prevent mid-film character drift;
- One-sentence idea: Claude broke it into a 20-shot breakdown, picked camera angles, built the sound map, and generated everything via MCP;
- One timed prompt carries the film: 20 seconds across 19 hard cuts, every beat pinned to a tenth of a second with its angle, move and speed;
- Dedicated blocks for physics, lighting and color grade, plus positive locks to stop morphing.
The prompt includes SCENE CONTEXT and ACTIVE REFERENCES sections (@NUTTY/@ACORN/@CROC) and is ready to reuse.
