In the scene 1 lesson of The 3-Step Realistic AI Ad Workflow, Adil generates the kitchen scene in Seedance 2.0, fixes the light of every prompt through the shot list's style prefix in Claude, splits the coffee making into its own montage shot with locked prop references, and writes the exit dance out move by move.

What is said
- 00:00:00 — Stage 3, scene generation: locked assets saved as elements, the first prompt run in Seedance
- 00:00:49 — What is wrong with 1A and the fixes typed back to Claude: the style prefix, the camera, the coffee tease
- 00:02:35 — Locking the drifting props, the mocha and the mug, in GPT Image 2
- 00:03:25 — Prompt 1B: the coffee as a fast cut montage
- 00:04:24 — Prompt 1C: the exit with dance moves spelled out, and scene one edited
Threads in this video
- restate · When a generation fails, should you generate more takes, fix the prompt or start over? — From all the takes of shot 1A Adil keeps only the slices that work: the walk-in from one, the headphones on the beat from another. (00:01:49)
- refine · How do you keep a consistent colour palette and visual style across generated images? — To fix the light Adil tells Claude to change the style prefix of the whole shot list to soft, even daylight from the camera side and apply it to every prompt, which fixes the lighting of all scenes at once. (00:00:49)
- restate · How do you direct a multi-shot sequence? — Because the coffee making inside shot 1A looked rushed and flat, Adil pulls that moment out as its own shot with its own prompt, 1B, built from scratch. (00:01:49)
- restate · How do you keep a location, product or prop the same across shots? — Adil locks the drifting props with one clean reference each, asking Claude for prompts for a mocha pod (as heard) and a mug that match the kitchen. (00:02:35)
- restate · How do you get precise motion (dance, action, choreography)? — Adil's pro tip: writing "he dances" or a generic description of motion means nothing to Seedance 2.0; the dance must be spelled out move by move, so he asks Claude to add detailed choreography without changing the story. (00:04:24)
