Seedance Prompt Guide: 20 Ready-to-Use Examples for Stunning AI Videos

Seedance is a generative AI tool that generates videos from simple text and image prompts. It can help turn rough ideas into professional-quality images. With the release of Seedance 2.0, generating high-quality videos with consistent visuals is no longer difficult. 

However, you must master the seedance prompt structure first. For this, you must have a clear understanding of the type of video you want to create. Once clear, mention the subject of the video, the action taking place in the video, and the style. You can choose from cinematic to commercial and fantasy styles. 

Want to know more about these styles and how to use them? Let’s discuss. 

20 Useful Seedance Prompt Examples 

Here are some categories of different prompt styles and types with their practical examples. 

Cinematic Style

1. Skateboard Shot

“The cinematic skateboarding sequence opens with an extreme close-up on the face of a young male skater. Focused eyes, shallow depth of field, golden sunlight hitting his skin. Hard cut to a rapid zoom-out revealing him standing on a skateboard at the top of a sun-drenched concrete skatepark surrounded by urban architecture. He pushes off and the action begins. An extreme close-up of wheels spinning on asphalt, his worn-out sneakers gripping the board. Handheld camera shake on landings for impact. He rides fast toward the camera, pops a massive kickflip body varial, and lands clean. Shot on an anamorphic lens, 24fps, cinematic color grade with warm tones and crushed blacks. Photorealistic, high production value.”

2. Flower Shop

“A cinematic shot of a girl arranging flowers in a vase in her flower shop. The camera moves slowly from the entry point of the flower shop towards the hands of the girl with colorful flowers in them. A small bird lands on her hand and the shot ends. High resolution shot with warm yet vibrant colors.” 

Sports and Racing

3. Car Racing

“Two cars, one red and the other black, racing aggressively on the racing track. The black car behind the red takes a sudden turn and crosses it to reach the finish line. The audience stands, curiosity rises, and the black one wins. Intense mood, wide shot, quick transition from one car to the other.”

4. Football

“Start the scene with a football in the middle of the ground. The match starts and the blue team takes the lead. Capture the goal moment in slow-motion in bright daylight. Maintain an ultra-realistic texture.”

Fantasy

5. Shibuya Parkour Sprint

“Single continuous cinematic shot in Shibuya. A schoolgirl sprints at extreme speed, weaving along crosswalks and walls. The camera moves low and close to the ground, following her every leap, roll, and jump. City lights streak below as she lands and rolls forward. Sound mixes daytime street noise, 8-bit video sounds, and shamisen strings. The sequence emphasizes fluid motion, fast choreography, and dynamic camera movement.”

6. Fairy Guide

“A little fairy with orange wings and a yellow and green frock, guiding a teenage girl towards her home. Sitting on her shoulder. The camera moves slowly from the girl and the fairy towards the fairy’s home. It is brightly lit with fairy lights and hidden inside a tree.”

Action and Combat

7. Horseback Flower Offering

“A man in orange rides a brown horse toward a large tree blooming with orange flowers. He plucks two flowers, then the other riders follow. The camera pushes in and circles as he dismounts swiftly, then approaches a woman in white on a white horse to present the flowers. Style: classical Chinese “court lady painting” aesthetic. Music: cheerful traditional Chinese folk instrumental.”

8. Snow Chase

“Realistic Nordic snowy night. A man runs fast through deep snow, tracked closely from behind at foot level. A wolf chases him, maintaining a strong sense of speed. The man trips and rolls; the wolf lunges at him. A border collie jumps in, knocking the wolf aside. The animals wrestle; the wolf breaks free and howls. Multiple wolves slowly surround the man and dog. Close-up on the dog as the owner slowly sits up. Background music: tense and evolving with the action.”

Commercial Prompts

9. Perfume

“An ultra-luxury perfume commercial. Begin with a macro shot of a transparent rectangular glass bottle surrounded by violently swirling purple liquid. Capture the churning liquid with bubbles and splashes, accompanied by crisp water sounds. Dissolve into surface ripples of the purple liquid, then show a close-up of delicate iris flowers floating underwater. Cut to the perfume bottle tilted on a textured light surface, refracting dreamy halos.”

10. Headphones

“The video opens with the headphones floating center frame against a pure white background, slowly rotating, every surface catching light — the glossy black shell reflecting clean studio highlights, the felt texture of the cushions visible in macro detail. Smooth slow-motion orbital shot around the product. Cut to an extreme macro close-up gliding across the glossy ear cup surface — the camera so close you can see the depth of the black lacquer, the subtle curves, the precision of the seam where the shell meets cushion.”

Character Prompts

11. Medieval Warrior

“A medieval warrior, who has survived the battle, standing on a cloudy hill-top, with his heavy armor flashing in the morning sun, his sword in his hand, his scarred face and his determined eyes, wind blowing through a tattered cape, a wide shot in a movie, dramatic lighting, ultra-realism of his texts, the lines of his face, his motion in the camera, 8K, motion of the camera, determined eye focus.”

12. Cyberpunk Hacker

“A hacker with glowing, neon-lit and cyberpunk gray hair, sitting in a cluttered tech lab, holographic displays floating all around, glowing augmented eye, leather jacket with neon trims, fingers busy on a futuristic keyboard, dramatic backlight, cinematic close-up, subtle lens flare, futuristic urban architecture, high-end textures, realistic reflections, 8K resolution, immersive camera angles.”

Scifi Prompts

13. Alien Planet Exploration

“A group of space explorers visiting an alien world, rocky landscape, with bizarre bio-luminescence, two moons in the sky, glowing spacesuit panels, low-angle wide shot, cinematic camera motion, cinematic lighting with dramatic shadows, realistic physics of gravitation and movement, ultra-realistic textures, 8k, science-fiction epic.”

14. Futuristic City Skyline

“An expansive futuristic city at evening, flying cars traveling between the tall skyscrapers with neon holograph adverts, reflective water canals, high-tech architecture with curved surfaces, active aerial tracking shot, soothing evening light with fog in the air, hyper-realistic crowd and vehicle movement.”

Daily-Life Prompts

15. Kite Flying Action Long Take

“A Chinese youth flies a kite through crowded streets, leaps up steps, flips, lands, and dashes toward a high platform for a difficult jump. A drumbeat erupts as he lands. The entire sequence is a single continuous shot with fluid movements, realistic weight, inertia, and landing cushioning. The protagonist and kite remain clearly defined.”

16. Woman Picking Fruits from Trees 

“Several women dressed in traditional clothing are picking fruit from trees. The scene starts from a distant shot of a woman, and then the camera zooms in on the mango, showcasing its sweetness. Keep the lighting natural with bright colors.”

Landscape Prompts

17. Deep Sea Dive

“First-person POV dive footage. A scuba diver descends into a pitch-black ocean. The only light is the diver's torch cutting a narrow beam into the dark. At depth, the torch clicks off. Total darkness for two seconds. Then, faint blue pulses. Bioluminescent creatures begin appearing in the void: a jellyfish drifts past, trailing light. A school of fish materialises as a glowing spiral. The diver reaches out slowly; the fish scatter like sparks.”

18. Mountain Summit

“A solo hiker crests a mountain ridge at dawn, silhouetted against an enormous orange sky. She stops. She sets down her pack. After a moment, she raises both arms. The camera holds. Wind moves through the frame. Slow push-in begins, from wide establishing to a medium shot over her shoulder, looking out at the range below, still bathed in first light.”

Fashion Prompts

19. Streetstyle Fashion

“A group of female models wearing oversized jackets in winter. They are walking in the middle of an alley with snow falling on their jackets. Zoom in on the snow particles on a model’s jacket and subtly show the statement earrings she is wearing. Use bold-high contrast colors for the outfits.”

20. The Met Gala Look

“Girl standing on a red carpet wearing a beautiful fish-tail gown in royal blue. A camera moves towards her in slow-motion as she turns towards it and makes a pose.”
