The Smalltown Boy AI Dance Prompts

You do not need this: the one-tap studio above runs it automatically. We provide the full prompt for AI researchers and creators.

Seedance 2.5·2 photos · 10 s · 720p · 9:16 · 168 credits
Image 1 replaces the grey cat with folded ears who grabs its head with both paws and screams in front, in every shot, and opens its mouth wide exactly when that cat screams. Image 2 replaces the spotted brown cat who dances on its hind legs behind it and then beside it, in every shot. Keep the face, ears, fur colors and markings of each pet from its own image, on the whole body, the head, the legs and the tail, not the folded ears or the spots of the cats in the video. Each pet keeps the natural body volume and proportions of its own animal: never flattened, squashed, stretched or merged with anything. Each pet keeps its own face from the first frame to the last, also in the lunge at the camera at the end; never swap the two faces. If an image shows a dog or another animal, that animal takes the same place, standing upright on its hind legs and doing the same moves. Keep the white living room, the marble floor, the warm ceiling light, the motion, the cuts and the camera exactly as in the video.
