Seedance Timecode Character Animation
A prompt for Seedance using timecodes to control character blinking and hesitation in a video.
The prompt
0:00 – 0:02 Visual: A character sits at a desk looking engaged and alert, listening to off-screen dialogue. Audio: Lively conversation or upbeat background audio. 0:02 – 0:04.5 Visual: Complete stillness. Not a floaty video pause, but a hard keyframe hold. The character’s pupils dart slightly to the side as an awkward statement finishes. Audio: The dialogue abruptly stops. Total silence, save for a subtle room-tone hum. 0:04.5 – 0:05 Visual: A sharp, crisp 2-frame blink—eyes shut flat, then open right back up. Clean, intentional, zero morphing. Audio: A subtle, dry comic click or soft "eyeball blink" sound effect. 0:05 – 0:07 Visual: The character shifts their jaw slightly and stares blankly straight ahead into the camera lens with deadpan acceptance.
