Smalltown Boy AI dance prompt for Seedance: a timed shot list
Updated:
Short answer
Paste the prompt below into Seedance and add your two photos as the reference images. It reads as a short timeline with a camera line and a sound line, and it names no song or artist, because tools filter them. Set the first line to your plan's clip length, or use Tip Toe AI.

The prompt
Make a 15-second vertical comedy clip from the reference images, filmed on a static wide-angle phone camera at chest height in a sunny backyard. The picture is an ordinary full frame, edge to edge, with no fisheye circle and no black border. Image 1 is the LEAD and image 2 is the PARTNER: keep each one's face, fur or hair, colours, body shape and clothing, never swap or merge their looks and never add a third character. If a subject is an animal, keep its species: it stands upright on its hind legs, presses both front paws to the sides of its head and yowls in a long, dramatic scream. If a subject is a toy or a drawn character, bring it to life and keep its colours and shape. Setting: in front of a bright red painted wooden fence, green lawn, blue sky. No readable text or logos. Timeline: 0-7s the LEAD sits very close to the lens in the foreground, clutching their head with both hands and screaming without a pause, rocking in despair and reaching both hands toward the lens around 4s, while the PARTNER, small in the background, dances energetically without stopping, full body in view. 7-14s hard cut: they swap, the PARTNER screams close to the lens and the LEAD dances behind. 14-15s hard cut: wide shot, both stand side by side and dance together. Audio: retro 1980s synth-pop instrumental with a punchy electronic beat plus the characters' own long comic screams. No lyrics, no words. Realistic motion, no captions, no logos, no watermark.
Tips for using it
- Add the Lead photo first and the Partner photo second, and label them Image 1 and Image 2 if your tool asks for tags.
- Keep song and artist names out of the timeline. Names tend to be filtered, so the timeline shows the action and the sound style only.
- Plans and limits differ between tools and change often. Set the first line to the clip length and shape your plan allows.

Will the clip be identical to the trend?
