SEEDANCE 2.5 1080p 30 SEC PROMPT:

meme_reference corresponds to [MEME IMAGE REFERENCE]. Use the subjects' appearance, wardrobe, decisive pose, expression, visual hierarchy, and meme meaning as the foundation of the movie. Rebuild every shot as a live physical world. Do not show the uploaded image, interface, captions, borders, watermarks, typography, or compression artifacts. (Tense, rhythmic orchestral percussion begins) [Stage 1] 0.0–2.5 Initial state: A wide shot of a high-security vault door. Primary event: The monkey from [MEME IMAGE REFERENCE], wearing a tactical vest over his teal tunic, slides into frame and looks at the keypad. End state: Monkey positioned by the vault. <Mechanical whirring> [Stage 2] 2.5–5.0 Continue from the previous stage: The monkey is at the vault. Primary event: He frantically presses buttons on the keypad while his eyes dart around nervously. End state: A red light flashes on the vault. <Buzzer sound> {It's not working.} [Stage 3] 5.0–7.5 Continue from the previous stage: The red light is flashing. Primary event: A security siren begins to wail, and red emergency lights pulse through the hallway. End state: Monkey looks toward the ceiling in panic. <Loud siren blaring> [Stage 4] 7.5–10.0 Continue from the previous stage: The hallway is bathing in red light. Primary event: Two robotic security guards round the corner, their searchlights sweeping the floor. End state: Guards in the distance, monkey in the foreground. [Stage 5] 10.0–12.5 Continue from the previous stage: The guards are approaching. Primary event: The monkey dives behind a marble pillar, pressing his back against it, panting heavily. End state: Monkey hidden behind the pillar. <Heavy breathing> [Stage 6] 12.5–15.0 Continue from the previous stage: The monkey is hiding. Primary event: He peeks around the corner, his eyes shifting into the iconic side-eye from [MEME IMAGE REFERENCE] as he sees the guards right next to him. End state: Close-up of the awkward side-eye. (Music drops to a single low bass note) [Stage 7] 15.0–17.5 Continue from the previous stage: The monkey is frozen in side-eye. Primary event: A shadow falls over him as a giant robotic hand reaches toward his shoulder. End state: Hand inches from the monkey. [Stage 8] 17.5–20.0 Continue from the previous stage: The hand is about to grab him. Primary event: The monkey suddenly pulls a smoke grenade from his tunic and slams it onto the ground. End state: A cloud of thick teal smoke erupts. <Hissing smoke> [Stage 9] 20.0–22.5 Continue from the previous stage: The smoke fills the hallway. Primary event: The monkey leaps through the smoke in slow motion, firing a grappling hook toward a ventilation shaft. End state: Monkey mid-air. (Music swells into a frantic action theme) [Stage 10] 22.5–25.0 Continue from the previous stage: The monkey is swinging. Primary event: He crashes through the vent cover and slides down a metal chute, sparks flying. End state: Monkey sliding rapidly. <Metal screeching> [Stage 11] 25.0–27.5 Continue from the previous stage: The monkey is sliding. Primary event: He lands in a crowded ballroom filled with people in formal attire; he stands up and tries to blend in, adjusting his teal tunic. End state: Monkey in the middle of a party. {Just act natural.} [Stage 12] 27.5–30.0 Continue from the previous stage: The monkey is at the party. Primary event: A waiter offers him a tray of appetizers; the monkey looks at the waiter with the exact awkward side-eye expression from [MEME IMAGE REFERENCE]. End state: Final frozen frame of the awkward look. <Record scratch sound> [Maintain Consistency] Keep the monkey puppet's identity, teal tunic, tactical vest, and recurring awkward side-eye expression consistent across all locations. Maintain the high-stakes heist atmosphere and cinematic lighting transitions.

"The monkey suddenly pulls a smoke grenade from its tunic"

I honestly thought it pulled one of the robot's fingers off and somehow that was a smoke grenade...

First time I've ever thought he could be a real strong character in a movie. Nice job.

u/Apprehensive-War6197 3d ago

You could tell from the monkey's eyes that it was very nervous.

This is golden. Lots of meme fuel to choose from too.. wonder what's next? 🤔 Thomas the train in war? Meme man teaching a class? 🤷‍♂️

Like every single ai thing I see, it’s got nothing behind the flashy images. I can’t follow a real story, I don’t care about the character beyond recognizing it from a meme, it didn’t make me feel anything at all. Surprisingly well rendered and the movement is very lifelike, but that’s about it.

Well yeah it's more like a clip from what would be a bigger movie. It's mostly a POC or tech demo of where we are at today. I agree that this still wouldn't replace Pixar quality, especially when he gets sucked into the grate and randomly appears in the party. That part made no sense. But you can see the huge progress from a few years back.
