Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

seedance-prompting-skills-for-cinematic-films scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Seedance Prompting Skills For Cinematic Films

"cinematic film prompt", "film-style scene", "shot like a movie" "realistic body movement", "grounded motion", "natural human behavior" "emotional close-up", "restrained performance", "subtle expression" "driving scene", "intimacy scene", "action sequence", "fight choreography" "environmental interaction" — wind, rain, water resistance, dust, gravity "continuity reference", "match cut", "scene-to-scene continuity" "Seedance cinematic prompt", "photorealistic motion", "live-action prompt" If the request is for animation, cartoon, motion design, UGC, or podcast, defer to the matching skill in video-generation instead.

Core principle

Cinematic realism is built from restraint, not spectacle. Every prompt enforces five grounding pillars that prevent Seedance from drifting into the over-animated, floaty, AI-looking failure modes that plague text-to-video output.

The five pillars:

  • Body weight & physics — actors have mass; movement has friction, momentum, and contact force.
  • Environmental force — wind, water, gravity, fabric, and surface texture push back on the actor.
  • Emotional restraint — micro-expressions, held beats, breath. No exaggerated facial telegraphing.
  • Camera as observer — the lens has its own physical presence (weight, breathing, drift). Not a drone, not a god.
  • Continuity anchors — lighting direction, wardrobe, time-of-day, and prop position carry across shots.
  • A prompt that drops any pillar produces "AI cinema" — technically a video, structurally a tell.

The grounded cinematic prompt structure

Seedance 2.0 prompts for cinematic film follow this six-block order. The order is load-bearing — Seedance weights the earliest blocks most heavily for compositional decisions, and the later blocks for motion and audio.

[STYLE & MOOD] [SHOT DIRECTION] [ACTOR BEHAVIOR] [ENVIRONMENTAL FORCE] [CAMERA BEHAVIOR] [AUDIO] Block 1 — Style & Mood (1 line) One sentence. Cinematographer lexicon. Pick a film stock or DP reference if the user has given you one; otherwise default to "35mm anamorphic, naturalistic color, soft contrast."

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
