Claymation diner cook

A round-cheeked short-order cook in a stop-motion clay world cracks an egg onto a griddle and it spreads and bubbles at the edges, then he flips it in a neat arc that lands back in the pan. A locked-off medium shot eases into a gentle push toward the sizzling surface. Warm tungsten diner light, chunky fingerprinted clay, felt booths and a tiny handmade ketchup bottle. Aardman-style stop-motion, visible frame-by-frame motion. <griddle sizzle, a happy hum, a spatula scrape>.

Edit prompt

Muscle car, desert highway

A matte-black muscle car tears down an empty desert highway, the tail stepping out slightly as it powers through a shimmer of heat haze and kicks a rooster-tail of grit off the shoulder. A low tracking shot runs parallel to the front wheel, the car holding frame center-left. Blazing midday sun, bleached sky, warm asphalt shimmer, a flat endless horizon. Anamorphic car-commercial look, lens flare. <deep V8 rumble, tyre roar, wind buffeting>. No music.

Edit prompt

Anime rooftop, golden hour

A young woman in a casual denim jacket stands at a rooftop railing as a gust lifts her hair and scarf and sends a few loose papers tumbling past, the city sprawling gold behind her. A slow pan follows her gaze across the skyline. Warm golden-hour light, hand-drawn 2D cel shading, soft lens bloom, drifting clouds. Studio-anime style, clean linework, gentle parallax. (warm ambient synth pad) <wind gust, distant city hum, a train far below>.

Edit prompt

Watch movement macro

Extreme macro into the exposed movement of a luxury mechanical watch, the balance wheel oscillating and a jeweled gear turning as light rakes across the polished bridges. A slow rack focus travels from the balance wheel to the winding barrel. Warm directional key, a deep black surround, gold and steel with tiny ruby jewels, precise controlled reflections. Luxury product macro, 100mm macro, ultra-sharp. (a soft ambient tone) <the faint tick of the escapement>.

Edit prompt

Latte art, overhead

Directly overhead, a barista pours steamed milk into a dark espresso and a white rosetta blooms and feathers open across the crema, the last flick drawing the stem. The camera holds straight down with a slow push-in as the pattern forms. Soft window light from the left, warm cafe tones, a folded linen and a brass spoon beside the cup. Clean food-commercial look, 50mm, shallow focus. <the soft pour, a low cafe murmur, a spoon clink>. No music.

Edit prompt

UGC: pet toy

A person on a couch films a selfie holding up an unbranded rope dog toy mid-sentence when their scruffy dog lunges in and grabs it; they laugh, genuinely caught off guard, as the dog tugs it away. Handheld phone, cozy living-room daylight. They say, half-laughing, in a warm accent: {So this is the toy that finally— hey! Okay, review over, he loves it.} Raw UGC style, natural light, authentic chaos. <a dog's playful growl, a laugh>.

Edit prompt

Bioluminescent surf

Waves curl and break along a black volcanic beach at night, each crest igniting electric blue with bioluminescence as it topples and the foam scatters glowing across the wet sand. The camera holds a low steadicam push toward the breaking line, spray drifting past the lens. Moonless starlit sky, deep indigo palette, the only light the blue-green glow of the water. Anamorphic, 35mm film grain, one continuous take. (low ocean drone) <waves breaking, hiss of retreating foam>. No music.

Edit prompt

Sushi plating, overhead

Straight overhead, a chef's hands set the final piece of nigiri onto a dark slate board lined with neat rows of sushi, then draw a soft brush of glossy glaze across the fish so it catches the light. The camera holds down with a slow push-in. Soft directional light, deep slate and rice-white contrast, a single green shiso leaf. Premium culinary look, 50mm, shallow focus. <a faint knife tap, a quiet restaurant hum>. No music.

Edit prompt

Aerial mountain reveal

A slow aerial pull-back over a snow-capped mountain range at golden hour, opening tight on a single sunlit ridge line and drawing back to reveal a sharp peak and range after range fading into blue haze behind it. Warm low sun raking the snow, deep shadowed couloirs, a faint wind lifting snow off the ridge. Cinematic aerial cinematography, anamorphic, one continuous reveal. <high mountain wind, a distant echo>. No music.

Edit prompt

Pixel-art wuxia

A pixel-art swordswoman leaps between rooftops in a moonlit 8-bit wuxia village, her cloak snapping behind her as tiles crumble under each landing. A vertical side-scrolling track follows her run. Cool moonlit blues and lantern-orange accents, crisp chunky pixels, a parallax skyline scrolling behind. Retro 8-bit pixel-art animation, a consistent pixel grid. (Chinese-style 8-bit chiptune) <pixel footfalls, a blade swish>.

Edit prompt

VHS beach, 1990s

A 1990s home-video shot of a family flying a red kite on a windy beach at sunset, the kite yanking and diving as they chase it across the sand and laugh. A loose handheld sway drifts to follow the kite, framed soft in 4:3 with a timecode ticking in the corner. Warm faded sunset color, VHS scanlines and chroma bleed, blooming highlights, grainy tape texture. Nostalgic camcorder aesthetic. <wind buffeting the mic, distant laughter, tape hiss>.

Edit prompt

Pixar-style robot

A small round-bellied robot with big glowing eyes waves shyly and rocks on its heels in a cozy sunlit workshop, a little antenna bobbing with the motion. A gentle push-in settles at its eye level. Warm window light, soft global illumination, candy-bright toy colors, soft rounded 3D forms. Polished 3D animated-feature style, shallow depth. (a warm playful ukulele) <a soft servo whir, a cheerful beep>.

Edit prompt

Fashion turn, studio

A model in a flowing crimson gown pivots sharply so the fabric sweeps out in a wide arc and her hair trails a few frames behind the motion before falling back. A vertical push-in holds on the swirl of the dress. One soft key with a subtle rim, a seamless black backdrop, deep saturated red against the dark. High-fashion editorial, 85mm, crisp slow motion. (a low fashion-house beat) <the whoosh of the fabric, heels settling>.

Edit prompt

Street dancer, neon corner

A street dancer spins across a wet city corner at night and snaps into a hard freeze, jacket flaring wide a beat behind the body before it settles. A vertical orbit sweeps halfway around him and lands as he locks the pose. Motivated magenta and teal light from a diner sign, hard backlight haloing his silhouette, light drizzle catching the glow. Music-video energy, 35mm, crisp motion. (deep bass beat) <sneaker squeak on wet concrete, a sharp exhale>.

Edit prompt

UGC: serum skeptic

A woman in her late 20s films a selfie video in a sunlit bathroom, holding up a plain frosted serum bottle with no label, one eyebrow raised, then dabs a drop on her cheek. Handheld phone framing with a natural little shake, soft morning window light, an honest bare-face look. She says in a dry, conversational American accent: {My skincare routine used to have twelve steps. Now it's just this. I'm as suspicious as you are.} Raw UGC selfie style, natural light, no color grade. <a light bathroom echo, a small laugh>.

Edit prompt

Lava river aerial

A bright orange lava river snakes down a black volcanic slope at night, crusting into dark rock at its banks as gouts of sparks lift and die in the heat. A high drone drifts forward and slowly descends toward the glowing flow, heat shimmer warping the air above it. Pitch-black surroundings, intense emissive orange, drifting ash. Aerial documentary, high dynamic range, one steady descent. <low volcanic rumble, hiss of cooling rock>. No music.

Edit prompt

Clay model to finished car

A grey clay design model of a sports car sits on a turntable, then a wave of glossy deep-red paint washes over it from nose to tail, chrome and glass resolving as the wave passes until a finished car gleams under the lights. A slow orbit arcs around it through the change. Dark studio, controlled softbox reflections sweeping the panels, a black-and-red premium palette. Product-commercial transformation, 50mm, precise reflections. (a low cinematic swell) <a soft synth shimmer as the paint sweeps>.

Edit prompt

Sea turtle reef

A green sea turtle glides through a vivid coral reef, small fish scattering and re-forming in its wake as its flippers sweep slow and deliberate. The camera drifts alongside at the turtle's pace, keeping it frame-right. Clear turquoise water, god-rays fanning down from the rippled surface, saturated coral pinks and oranges, tiny particles catching the light. Nature-documentary clarity, 50mm, crisp focus. <muffled underwater ambience, soft bubble trail>. No music.

Edit prompt

Supercell over the plains

A vast rotating supercell churns above golden wheat plains, a wall of rain sweeping the far edge as the wind flattens the wheat in rolling waves. A slow aerial push drifts toward the storm, shafts of light breaking through the cloud base. High contrast of gold field and slate-grey sky, dust lifting off the field. Storm-chaser cinematography, wide anamorphic, one steady push. <distant thunder, rising wind, rustling wheat>. No music.

Edit prompt

Film-noir office

A trench-coated detective stands at a rain-streaked office window in the 1940s, smoke curling up from a cigarette resting in a glass ashtray as the ember glows. A slow dolly-in creeps past the desk lamp and settles on his silhouette. Hard venetian-blind stripes rake across the far wall, one warm tungsten key, deep crushed blacks. High-contrast black-and-white film noir, heavy grain, anamorphic. <ticking wall clock, rain on glass> (a lone distant saxophone).

FAQs

How do I use these Seedance 2.5 prompts?
Pick any prompt in the library, copy it, and paste it into Morphic with a video model selected. Generate it as written first, then adjust the subject, setting, light, or camera move to make it your own. Each prompt is written as a short shot brief, so it is easy to see which part to change.
What makes a strong Seedance 2.5 prompt?
A clear shot brief rather than a caption. Name the subject, the motion over time, the setting and light, and one specific camera move, and describe how the shot evolves across its full length instead of a single frozen frame. The examples here follow that structure so you can reuse the pattern.
Why are the example clips different shapes?
Each prompt is framed for its subject: widescreen 16:9 for landscapes, aerials, and cinematic scenes, and vertical 9:16 for portrait and social shots. Every prompt names its framing, and you can switch the aspect ratio without rewriting the rest of the brief.
Can I use references to keep a character or set consistent?
Yes. Seedance 2.5 accepts multimodal references, so you can attach an image of a character, product, or set and carry that look through the clip and across shots. Say in the prompt what each reference is for, so the model knows which one drives the subject, the location, and the palette.
Can I use the videos I create for commercial projects?
The prompts here describe original scenes and fictional subjects, so what you generate is yours to use. Avoid prompting for real logos, trademarks, or a living person's likeness, and keep your final use in line with Morphic's terms.
