Every one of the eight scenes needs the same hero, so the first move is locking his look before anything else gets built.
The keyframe: Soul Cinema, four generations, half a credit
Soul Cinema handles the character because it's the strongest model for this job. The prompt stays simple — a cartoon man waking up in a bedroom — and a batch of four generations costs only half a credit, so there's room to run several batches and pick the one that lands. The keeper here uses a paper-cutout look with soft morning light.
Turn on Soul Cinema's enhancer and type something as plain as "cartoon style man waking up in the bedroom," then let it run wild. It's incredibly creative and pushes toward styles you'd never have thought to ask for directly.
If a batch comes back close but not quite right, that image doesn't get thrown out — it goes to Nano Banana Pro to swap only what's off, instead of re-rolling the whole generation.
Locking the watch with a prop sheet
The watch appears in all eight scenes, so it can't drift in look between them. Rather than prompting for it blindly, the hero keyframe gets uploaded to Claude with a request for a prop sheet in the same exact style — Claude writes the prop-sheet prompt, and Nano Banana Pro renders it.
The sheet covers the material breakdown, the internals, and — critically — multiple angles. Seedance needs to know what the watch looks like from every direction to keep it consistent across all eight shots.
Handing both references to Claude for the shot
With the character and the watch locked, both images go back to Claude along with the scene description: he wakes up, panics, sees a message from Anna, gets dressed, checks the watch, and finds two route options plus a mystery third one — ultra fast. He taps it and teleports. Claude turns that into a full Seedance prompt, shot by shot, rather than one flat description.
Seedance would already produce something decent from that basic a description — but spending the extra couple of minutes to build the prompt properly is what pushes the result from decent to something that actually blows past expectations.
Every scene in this film runs under 15 seconds as a single Seedance generation — one style, one generation, multiple camera angles and cuts inside it. That cap isn't a style choice, it's an editing shortcut: shorter generations are simpler to cut together later, and Seedance 2.0 can hold a full scene's worth of camera movement inside that window.
