Seedance 2.5 / 16:9 / approx. 30 seconds / 2D hand-drawn anime animation
Use the attached image as the reference for the main character and the overall drawing style. Use a pastel palette of soft lavender, pink, and cream tones, with rough hand-drawn ink lines, a simple yet delicate Japanese anime-style look, and warm after-school sunlight. Keep the girl’s face, hair color, hairstyle, outfit, and guitar design consistent throughout the entire video.
The setting is a quiet school rooftop in the late afternoon. A low concrete railing, school buildings and a residential neighborhood in the distance, trees, and softly drifting clouds. At first, the scene feels realistic and peaceful, but as the guitar performance grows more intense, it naturally expands into a huge live concert imagined by the girl.
[0–2 sec — Strong Hook]
Start with an ECU directly above the guitar strings. The moment the girl’s pick strikes the strings forcefully, the strings vibrate dramatically across the screen. Add a brief white flash frame and a strong hand-drawn impact accent. Immediately, the camera follows the vibrating strings with an ultra-fast lateral tracking shot, racing along the guitar neck. Frets and fingers sweep past right next to the lens in a strong camera pass-by, with pronounced foreground-background parallax.
[2–5 sec]
The camera whip-pans quickly from the end of the guitar neck into an ECU of the girl’s face. Her hair blows strongly in the wind, and she looks at the guitar with a focused gaze. The reflection of the guitar strings is visible in her eyes. Add a sudden snap push-in. Right after that, she slams into the next chord with expressive squash-and-stretch and brief multiple-image animation on her hand. Use readable anime motion smear on the hand moving the pick, and avoid excessive optical motion blur.
[5–9 sec]
Medium Full Shot. It is revealed clearly for the first time that the girl is alone on the rooftop, playing guitar near the railing. At first, her performance is relatively restrained. The camera slowly circles around her in a low-angle arc shot. Her toes keep rhythm with the guitar beat, her shoulders move, and her hair and skirt show natural overlapping action and follow-through. A few flower petals and small leaves around the rooftop begin to lift into the wind one or two at a time.
[9–13 sec]
The performance gradually becomes more intense. Her right-hand strumming gets faster, and her left hand moves quickly across the frets. Use several overlapping hand positions, subtle multiples, and directional motion smear for the finger movement. The camera starts below the guitar body and quickly pedestals upward into a low-angle shot looking up at her. At that moment, with a strong guitar chord, a sudden gust of wind sweeps across the rooftop. Her hair and clothing stream dramatically backward, and flower petals in the foreground brush past the lens.
[13–17 sec]
The moment a flower petal fully covers the camera, create a natural wipe transition. As the petal passes, the real school rooftop remains the same space, but begins transforming into a huge outdoor live stage from the girl’s imagination. Behind the railing, giant spotlights and countless audience silhouettes appear, and pastel-toned stage lights cross through the sky. The transformation should not feel like a sudden location change, but rather like imagination layering itself over reality.
The girl widens her eyes for a moment in surprise, then smiles and continues playing.
[17–22 sec]
The performance explodes into a full guitar solo. Use a fast-rhythm shot progression.
— Guitar fret ECU, left hand moving rapidly.
— CU of the hand gripping the pick, aggressive downstroke.
— Face CU, eyes closed, fully immersed in the music.
— Ground-level tracking shot moving quickly from her feet up to the guitar.
— 180-degree orbit shot rotating quickly around the girl, showing the huge imagined crowd and lights around her.
Each shot must not repeat the previous composition. Use exaggerated anime smear frames and intermittent multiple-image animation on the guitar-playing hands, and synchronize graphic speed lines and brief flash frames musically with each strong chord. Use strong drag and overlapping action in the hair.
[22–26 sec]
Climax. In an Extreme Wide Shot, the girl appears like a tiny silhouette at the center of a giant stage. Countless audience members raise their arms and cheer at once. The camera rushes through the crowd with a fast perspective rush toward the girl.
She leans her body backward in clear anticipation for the final guitar phrase. One beat of silence.
The camera becomes character-locked on her face while only the surrounding stage lights and audience rotate rapidly.
She snaps her body forward powerfully and strikes the final chord.
Strong single-frame impact frame → white flash frame → brief 2–3 frame hit-stop.
[26–28 sec]
With the impact of the final chord, the lights and audience scatter into the air like thousands of tiny pastel-colored particles. The camera quickly dollies out. The imagined concert venue disappears, and the scene returns to the original quiet school rooftop.
The wind suddenly calms down as well.
The girl remains still for a moment, holding her guitar. She glances around slightly, as if a little embarrassed.
[28–30 sec — Ending]
A very small sound of applause is heard from the direction of the rooftop access door behind the girl.
As the girl turns her head in surprise, use a snap pan.
Behind the door, only the hand of another student is visible, half-hidden, quietly clapping. Do not fully reveal the face yet.
CU of the girl’s face. She looks flustered for a moment, then gives a very small smile.
Warm sunset light illuminates her hair and the edge of the guitar as the scene slowly settles.
The final frame shows the girl smiling while holding her guitar, with a few flower petals drifting across the rooftop.
The animation direction should maintain a hand-drawn sakuga sensibility. Clearly apply anticipation, follow-through, overlapping action, drag, and settle to every movement. In fast sections, use smear frames, multiples, and speed lines, but keep the character’s face and the guitar shape readable. Over the 30 seconds, do not repeat the same camera composition or the same performance shot. Continuously create visual variety with ECU → low-angle → arc → pedestal → ground-level tracking → orbit → EWS → perspective rush → dolly out → snap pan.
No photorealism, no 3D CGI appearance, no live-action texture, no character redesign, no extra fingers, no malformed hands, no changing guitar design, no sudden costume changes, no duplicated character, no repeated shot composition, no random location changes.
