What you need
2–3 real photos of the car (front, back, flying) · your character sheet (+ a pet sheet if you want one) · Higgsfield (Seedream 5 Pro for places, Seedance 2.5 for video) · any editor. Test everything in 480p, upgrade only the keepers.
05 stepsThe workflow
- 01
Write 8 random actions
One crazy but readable action per shot, 3–4 s each: pick up a coffee at a drive-through, fly through a car wash, park vertically against a wall, fly under a bridge… No story to follow, just one 'wow' every 3 seconds.
- 02
Make empty places
Seedream 5 Pro: one image per place, with no car and no people, all with the same light (golden hour, haze, deep blacks). That one shared light is what makes 8 different places feel like one film.
- 03
References, not a first frame
Seedance 2.5, omni reference: give the empty place + the car photos (+ your character / pet). No start image. Then write the action second by second. The car keeps its real shape and the action is free to happen.
- 04
Fix what you see
Watch each take frame by frame. If the car hides the action, move the camera (we put it inside the restaurant). If a pet comes out giant, give its size. If the car stands the wrong way, describe exactly which side faces the camera.
- 05
Cut, grade, keep the sound
Keep the best 3–4 s of each take, one colour grade on the whole reel, and keep Seedance's own sound (engine, water, foam, swish): cut it with each shot and set the reel to −14 LUFS.
!Avoid this
A long story with slow shots: people scroll away. A start frame for every shot: the car freezes or turns into another car. Reflections in prompts ('reflection on the glass'): you get extra cars. Muting the clips: Seedance's sound is free sound design.

The prompts
Replace the words in [BRACKETS]. Same grade sentence in every prompt.
Empty place
Empty location plate for a film, no cars, no people. Cinematic film still, 24fps feature-film look, long lens. [PLACE, e.g. a narrow old city street at golden hour: a tall red-brick wall, a row of parked cars with one empty gap, fire escapes], warm low sun raking across, light haze, long shadows. Muted cinematic grade: deep blacks, soft highlights, low saturation, teal shadows, warm highlights. AVOID: no text, no logos.
The shot
Cinematic film shot, 24fps, long lens, [ONE CAMERA MOVE, e.g. medium shot from the sidewalk at a 3/4 angle, slow lateral tracking], no cuts. Location: the [PLACE] from the location reference image. 0-2s: the white car from the car reference images [ACTION 1, e.g. descends from above in front of the wall, thrusters blowing dust]. 2-3s: [ACTION 2, e.g. it parks VERTICALLY: rear bumper on the asphalt, nose to the sky, underside against the wall, driver side facing the camera]. 3-5s: [ACTION 3, e.g. the driver door opens and the woman from the character reference steps out holding her coffee and walks out of frame]. Only one car. Muted cinematic grade, deep blacks, soft highlights. AVOID: no cuts, no text, no logos, [WHAT WENT WRONG LAST TIME].
Three fixes that saved our takes
Camera position: 'the camera is INSIDE the kitchen, behind the cashier' made the coffee hand-off visible. Size: 'a SMALL kitten, its whole head about the size of the side mirror' fixed a giant cat. Movement: 'the car keeps moving the whole time, wheels 30 cm above the floor' got it through the car wash.
