This tip breaks down the exact prompt structure required to produce a vertical top-down shot of a subject resting on a vintage Persian rug, looking past slowly rotating wooden ceiling fan blades while transforming fashion outfits seamlessly without altering facial identity, lighting, or camera placement.

Complete Prompt and Video Parameters

Here is the exact English prompt and camera configuration used in Seedance 2.5:

Made with seedance 2.5

Prompt:
A cinematic top-down overhead shot of a young Asian woman lying barefoot on an elegant vintage Persian rug in a warm, cozy living room, viewed through the wooden blades of a slowly rotating ceiling fan in the foreground. She has natural black hair and a calm relaxed expression. The scene uses warm golden indoor lighting, realistic wooden flooring, detailed traditional carpet patterns, soft shadows, and a cozy aesthetic interior. The woman appears in a simple black dress at first, then smoothly transitions through several different fashionable outfits while maintaining the exact same pose, position, camera angle, environment, and facial identity. Outfit transitions include a soft pink cardigan with a white dress, a red cardigan over a white top, and finally a brown textured dress. Highly photorealistic, natural skin texture, realistic fabric details, cinematic lighting, shallow depth of field, subtle motion blur from the rotating ceiling fan, smooth seamless outfit transformation, professional fashion video, DSLR quality, ultra-detailed, 4K, realistic proportions, stable overhead camera, no text, no watermark.

Camera: fixed top-down perspective, ceiling fan blades passing naturally across the frame, slow smooth motion.
Aspect ratio: 16:9.
Style: photorealistic cinematic fashion video, warm cozy atmosphere, seamless transitions.

Prompt Architecture and Cinematography Breakdown

The prompt achieves visual consistency and cinematic polish through several specific structural techniques:

• Foreground Occlusion and Depth Layering: Placing rotating wooden ceiling fan blades (wooden blades of a slowly rotating ceiling fan in the foreground) with subtle motion blur creates natural optical depth in an otherwise flat overhead frame.
• Explicit Identity and Scene Invariance: The prompt explicitly enforces consistency during morphing by specifying maintaining the exact same pose, position, camera angle, environment, and facial identity.
• Sequential Outfit Progression: Rather than requesting arbitrary clothing shifts, the prompt defines a precise visual progression starting from a simple black dress to a soft pink cardigan with a white dress, then a red cardigan over a white top, and concluding with a brown textured dress.
• Dedicated Camera and Style Metadata: Parameters such as Aspect ratio: 16:9, fixed top-down perspective, and Style: photorealistic cinematic fashion video guide the generation engine's motion dynamics and overall grading.
