A presenter shows five short-video formats going viral with Seedance 2.0 on Higgsfield: transformations, first-person power orbs, POVs, fights and animation, with prompts written by a free Claude skill. Image-to-video is worth the extra steps for a recurring character; adding "no 3D, no cartoon, no VFX" fixes plastic-looking skin, and "no cuts, no zooms" keeps a POV locked. A six-shot train fight between two Soul Cinema characters came out in one 15-second generation with nothing broken.

00:00:00 — Seedance 2.0 live on Higgsfield; five viral formats; a free Claude skill that writes cinematic prompts
- ★★ a guest: The presenter says Seedance 2.0 is finally live, exclusively on Higgsfield, and calls it the most anticipated model of the year. — 00:00:00 · Seedance 2.0, Higgsfield AI
- ★★ a guest: Some of the prompts behind Seedance 2.0 results like these are long and complicated; the presenter says most people don't write that way and shouldn't have to. — 00:00:32 · Seedance 2.0
- ★★ a guest: The presenter built a free Claude skill that turns an idea typed in plain English into a cinematic video prompt; the link is in the description. — 00:01:00 · Claude
- ★★ a guest: The transformation format follows a three-act structure: normal, chaos, back to normal — a girl eats a burger, a monster attacks, then she is eating again, unbothered. — 00:01:00
00:01:11 — Format 1: Transformations — the burger (image-to-video vs text-to-video) and the bus
- ★★ a guest: Transformation videos work on social media because they are funny, weird and short enough to be watched several times, which goes a long way with the algorithms. — 00:01:40
- ★★ a guest: For the image-to-video burger transformation, the presenter generated the pink-haired girl, the location, a second character and the monster separately in Soul Cinema, then uploaded them all to Claude. — 00:01:40 · Soul Cinema, Claude, image-to-video
- ★★★ a guest: Comparing image-to-video with pure text-to-video in Seedance 2.0, the presenter says both work for a one-off viral video, but image-to-video is worth the extra steps for a recurring character. — 00:02:35 · image-to-video, text-to-video, Soul Cinema, Seedance 2.0
- ★★★ a guest: For monsters and anything meant to feel real, when skin looks too smooth and plasticky, add "no 3D, no cartoon, no VFX" to the Seedance 2.0 prompt to force ultra realism. — 00:02:35 · Seedance 2.0, AI look · also in: Seedance 2.0 — Complete Prompting Guide (Full Prompt Library)
- ★★ a guest: For the bus transformation, with images of the girl, the bus and the monster, the presenter had Claude enhance his one-line idea and put the result into Seedance 2.0. — 00:03:05 · Claude, Seedance 2.0
- ★★ a guest: The presenter says Seedance 2.0 is fantastic at adding genre-appropriate details on its own, such as a visual gag in the background of a comedy scene. — 00:03:49 · Seedance 2.0
00:04:16 — Format 2: Orbs, first-person power
- ★★ a guest: The "orbs" format is first-person, with the viewer's hands crackling with power; like transformations, it goes viral because it is rewatchable. — 00:04:16
- ★★ a guest: The presenter says Seedance 2.0 is one of the only models that holds a consistent first-person perspective through chaotic action: the hands stay visible, react correctly to the environment, and the scale reads right. — 00:04:43 · Seedance 2.0
00:06:17 — Format 3: POVs
- ★★ a guest: In POV shots most video models drift and the perspective breaks; the presenter says Seedance 2.0 does not drift. — 00:06:22 · Seedance 2.0
- ★★ a guest: For a gladiator POV shot, the presenter described the scene to Claude and asked what the camera physically feels like at each beat, which he credits for the result. — 00:06:50 · Claude
- ★★ a guest: For the knight-on-horseback POV, the presenter kept the Seedance 2.0 prompt intentionally short ("single frame POV") and it worked. — 00:07:13 · Seedance 2.0
- ★★★ a guest: For POV shots, state explicitly what the camera is not doing — "no cuts, no zooms", maybe natural head movement — to keep the perspective locked. — 00:07:13 · also in: The Secret to ULTRAREAL AI POV! 🏰🛡️
- ★★ a guest: Without explicit no-cut instructions, Seedance 2.0 defaults to cutting between angles in a POV shot, and the illusion breaks. — 00:07:36 · Seedance 2.0 · also in: Seedance 2.0 — Complete Prompting Guide (Full Prompt Library)
- ★★ a guest: In fight scenes, the presenter says, Seedance 2.0 generates not just the hits but the style, the tension and the choreography. — 00:07:36 · Seedance 2.0
00:07:54 — Format 4: Fights
- ★★★ a guest: A six-shot train fight between two Soul Cinema characters, from a very long prompt, came out of Seedance 2.0 in 15 seconds in a single generation, with nothing broken. — 00:08:39 · Seedance 2.0, Soul Cinema · also in: $100,000 Action Scenes with ONE Prompt! 🎬🔥
00:09:40 — Format 5: Animation
- ★★ a guest: From the prompt "a fight of a 3D person with a 2D person" alone, Seedance 2.0 invented the choreography, style, characters, location, slow motion and impacts. — 00:10:35 · Seedance 2.0
00:10:57 — Recap: why the formats go viral and the workflow
- ★★ a guest: The five formats go viral for the same reason: they are short and rewatchable, and Seedance 2.0 can execute each in a single generation. — 00:10:57 · Seedance 2.0
- ★★★ a guest: The presenter's workflow for these formats: drop the idea into Claude, refine if necessary, and generate on Higgsfield. — 00:10:57 · Claude, Higgsfield AI
