The exact prompt
He holds the phone low at arm's length, angled up at him, framed chest-up as he sits back on a grey sofa. The phone in his hand is the one recording this. Mid twenties, short brown hair, dark grey crewneck sweatshirt. His chin rests on his hand, brow furrowed, lips moving as he mutters something to himself; his fingers drag across his mouth, then his hand climbs to his forehead and his eyes squeeze shut in a wince, and his fingers push back into his hair as his head drops forward, grimacing. A sloped attic ceiling behind him with a skylight window, a small framed print, a wooden wall shelf, soft daylight from above. Natural skin texture. One unbroken handheld take, no on-screen text, no logos, no captions.
Why this prompt works
Problem-first hooks open on the problem. The prompt choreographs small, believable gestures (chin on hand, fingers across the mouth, hand to forehead) instead of a big theatrical one, which keeps it from looking acted.
One limitation: Small gestures can be too subtle at 480p on a phone screen; render at 720p if the hook depends on facial detail.
Make your own
Open the Seedance 2.5, paste the prompt, keep one subject and one action, and change the details to match your idea. Prompts work best as a single shot: subject, action, setting, camera and light.
