CHRIS FIRST

@PixelWorld_tv @dreamina_ai I used @dreamina_ai to create this video. I never used an API myself to generate things so that could be an issue possibly. But not an expert on that side of it.

Hi Chris.... I am in the U.S. and I am using a custom created API call program I built that runs through OpenRouter. (API tokens are so much cheaper than through a website...as I can generate a 5 second 720p video for $0.60.) So I am wondering if my API call workflow won't work...or if I need to use Dreamina, ComfyUI or another platform and just pay the slightly extra rendering costs? What platform are you using?

Look famous using Seedance 2.0 Prompt in reply.

@chrisfirst Aw this is so good

Made using @dreamina_ai Seedance 2.0 Prompt: 

Style: Ultra-realistic mass celebrity arrival scene. Single continuous shot. Handheld camera from crowd perspective. Natural micro-shake. No cuts. Documentary-level realism. Audio: Only natural environment sound loud crowd cheering, overlapping voices shouting, rapid camera shutter clicks, phones recording audio, distant city noises, footsteps, fabric movement. Lighting: Nightime, illuminated from street lights. Mixed reflections on polished surfaces. Soft but realistic shadows. Slight atmospheric haze for depth. 

Main Character: (Subject Reference Image) Calm, controlled presence. Subtle confident smile. Face identity must remain perfectly consistent across all frames. Outfit: Exactly the same from reference image. Location: An event in New York City.

Scene Flow 

0–3s: Camera starts from inside a dense crowd behind barricades. Handheld, slightly unstable. View partially blocked by people in front. Multiple phones raised, some screens visible recording. Crowd energy is loud, chaotic, restless.

3–6s: Camera lifts slightly above shoulder level, still handheld. Focus shifts naturally between heads, waving hands, and we see our subject exit a fancy hotel in New York City. Occasional bright flashes from media cameras. Anticipation rises as crowd leans forward.

6–10s: Security personnel step in, pushing the crowd back slightly. Camera reacts with natural shake. Through shifting gaps, the main character appears in the distance—initially soft and partially obscured, gradually becoming clearer while walking forward with a small escort team. 

He walks up to a fan and signs printed photo she is holding of (Subject Reference Image) 10–13s: Subtle handheld push-in (natural movement, not digital zoom). The main character is now clearly visible, walking confidently at center frame. Path is being cleared. He raises one hand and gives a calm, controlled wave with a slight smile. Camera struggles slightly to keep framing due to crowd movement.

13–15s: Camera shifts and tilts trying to follow. A luxury convoy becomes partially visible featuring three large premium SUVs. A security member opens the back door of a the suburban in the middle of the three. The main character enters quickly and rolls the window down. Vehicles begin moving forward as he waves to the crowd. Camera lifts slightly as people jump and try to capture the moment.

@PixelWorld_tv @dreamina_ai I'm in the US and haven't had a problem with references. What platform are you using Seedance 2.0 in and what country?

How in the hell are you getting Seedance 2.0 to use a reference person/face. When I try your prompt with a reference image I get this error message: "The request failed because the input image may contain real person." (Even though the reference image is AI. Are you in the U.S.?)

How this would actually look in use:

Waymo’s are brand new Jaguars. Lyfts are 2009 Toyota Corolla’s.

@freganmitts Link?

There’s an Airbnb in Cottonwood Falls, KS that looks like the kind of place I would like to live out my years and die in, and then be buried next to.

Soon enough we'll all be going to Mars. @Dreamina_AI Seedance 2.0 Prompt: The video feels real and raw, shot on a handheld iPhone by a social media influencer. The lighting is harsh, natural morning sun. We see the man in (Reference Image of Myself) wearing the same exact outfit. Standing in front of the spacecraft and dock we see in (Image of a spaceport I made with the Starship docked) He is centered in frame, slightly shaky. And the ship ignition starts causing a plume of smoke and shoot out fire that begins to rise from the base and the ship slowly rise. The camera pushes in on him as he looks into the lens with a confident smirk. In a typical American accent he says: “This is the Space X Effect" He steps out of frame as the rocket rises quickly. There is no one else in the frame.

@DreamStarter_1 Yeah, listen nothing is ever promised. It is what it is, just sucks.

@chrisfirst I think my conclusion applies to any other platform...it's just that here it's more brutally revealed.

It’s crazy how disrespectful this platform is to people who built Communities here. Spent years of our lives building these spaces just for them to be destroyed on purpose by the platform. Deboosted in algo, removed from the sidebar. No way to even transfer our Communities.

@DreamStarter_1 Been here for 11 years. Platform has been pretty consistent till recent and the old community team was even communicative. They would ask for feedback and try to make the product better.

@chrisfirst Never trust a platform that you don't own...basically...

@ChrisMassotti @nikitabier @elonmusk How about enable community streams? I’ll happily live stream stuff with AI companies all day. I was just going to start doing that actually next month with my friend and pinning them weekly in the community.

@chrisfirst These are great options. It’s the least they can do to show us their appreciation. However, it seems they don’t appreciate us at all, maybe if we start streaming… cc: @nikitabier @elonmusk

please don’t do this people😭

@Shockwave_App The prompts are too long to add to the alt and are 1000+ characters each. I have them all in one place and for free.

@chrisfirst You said "Prompts at the end", but then there are no prompts, only a link to another place.
