The 3-Step Realistic AI Ad Workflow: Scene 3 — the street, and the layout map trick

Adil generates Scene 3 of the course's headphones commercial, the hero dancing on the street, and fixes light, direction and the sky dancer's size with a schematic map made in GPT Image 2 and a Claude-rewritten Seedance 2.0 prompt, then pins the hero to a tree, choreographs each cut and adds the music track as an input.

What is said

00:00:00 — The starting street prompt and its three problems: light, direction, the sky dancer
00:00:23 — The map trick: a schematic in GPT Image 2 and a prompt rewritten around it in Claude
00:01:49 — The hero pinned to a tree, the scene written cut by cut, the backpack locked
00:03:19 — Choreographing each cut, the music track as an input, the low-angle final cut and the result

Threads in this video

restate · How do you keep a location, product or prop the same across shots? — Adil says text cannot pin a location down, so he gives the video model a map instead, his number one hack of the lesson: showing exactly where things sit and how big they are gets it right take after take. (00:00:23)
refine · How do you keep a location, product or prop the same across shots? — To stop the hero drifting between takes of the street scene, Adil pins him to a tree on the left side of the frame, giving the model a solid anchor. (00:01:49)
restate · How do you spend fewer credits? — Instead of brute force, running 20 generations to fish out a few good seconds, which is slow and burns credits, Adil says the map skips the lottery. (00:00:23)
restate · How do you direct a multi-shot sequence? — Adil has Claude write the street scene cut by cut: cut one matches the framing, motion and pose of Scene 2's closing shot exactly, then legs and footwork, a medium tracking shot, a top-down wide, a wide frontal as the phone buzzes, and a close-up as he answers. (00:02:22)
restate · How do you get precise motion (dance, action, choreography)? — With the cuts clean but the dancing generic, Adil says "he dances" is not a direction and choreographs every cut by name: a slow head bob, sharp footwork with skips and stomps, locking-style frozen poses, then full hip hop with shoulder isolations, stopping on the beat. (00:03:19)
refine · How do you get precise motion (dance, action, choreography)? — Adil's pro tip: drop the actual music track into the Seedance 2.0 prompt as an input and have the hero dance in time with its beat, so every move lands on the beat. (00:03:46)
restate · When a generation fails, should you generate more takes, fix the prompt or start over? — Adil pulled six videos into the street scene, all from iterating one prompt three times rather than writing three separate ones; he says sometimes you build in pieces and sometimes you tweak one shot until it is perfect.
