A raw, handheld UGC-style video prompt for Seedance 2.5 featuring friends at a luxury marina at night.
Raw vertical phone video (UGC), handheld throughout, filmed by a friend who walks with the group, casual sway, natural night lighting, wide-angle lens, deep focus.
Characters: The hero is a young woman with long dark hair in a deep-purple one-shoulder dress with a small shoulder bag. Her three friends: one in a dark brown dress, a blonde in a black wrap dress, a blonde in a white mini dress — party dresses and sandals. Laughing, spontaneous night-out energy.
Setting: A luxury marina at night — a stone quay along a narrow water slip flanked on both sides by large moored luxury yachts, big white hulls rising on either side, masts and rigging above, fenders on the hulls. Warm orange street lamps, palm trees, distant city lights. The yachts glow with blue-turquoise underwater LED lights spilling into the water; a yellow mooring line runs to the stone.
[0.0s–4.0s] — Wide tracking shot, eye level, camera moving backward. The camera walks backward ahead of the four women as they stroll toward it down the marina promenade, framed head-to-toe, laughing and chatting in French; warm lamplight and palm trees behind, slight handheld bob.
[4.0s–6.0s] — Medium shot, eye level, backward track + quick left pan. The woman in the purple dress surges ahead of the group toward the lens, one arm raised, hair flying; the camera, on their left, keeps tracking back and pans to hold her.
[6.0s–8.0s] — Medium-wide, camera tilts down-left to follow, whip motion. She reaches the quay edge between the moored luxury yachts and launches headfirst over the edge; the handheld camera whips left and tilts down to chase her off the stone.
[8.0s–10.0s] — High-angle wide, looking down at the water, slight jolt. From up on the quay the camera looks down as she plunges headfirst into the blue-turquoise water in the slip between the big yacht hulls — a big splash, the underwater lights glowing around the impact; the handheld frame jolts slightly with the motion.
[10.0s–13.0s] — High-angle medium, looking down, small handheld drift. She surfaces in the teal water, gasping and laughing up at the camera, hair slicked back, treading water.
[13.0s–16.0s] — Handheld tilt up and back down, slight zoom. The camera lifts off the water and tilts up to a person leaning on the deck railing of one of the moored luxury yachts, watching her in the water, then tilts back down and zooms slightly in on her still treading and laughing.
[16.0s–20.0s] — High-angle medium, tilting to follow her up. She swims to the stone quay wall, reaches up and grabs a thick dark mooring pole, and hauls herself out; the camera tilts upward with her as she rises from the water, legs braced on the stone.
[20.0s–23.0s] — Low/close medium at the quay edge, static handheld. She climbs onto the stone lip, rolls onto her side, soaked dress clinging, then pushes up to her feet
