New angles from a single take — move the camera with AI

You film the video once, on one camera — and AI “reshoots” the same scene from the side, from behind, from above and even from inside a cup. The person’s movements and face stay the same; only the camera moves. STEP 1 Analyse the video: decide where to switch the angle — find the person’s movements and the pauses in their speech. Put the cut on a pause and nobody will notice the lips don’t match the sound. STEP 2 Prepare the references: the original video (@video1), a wide-shot frame (@image1) and a close-up of the face (@image2). Upload the files in the order the prompt uses them. STEP 3 Choose the camera position: left or right 90°, from behind, from above, inside the bucket or the cup. Picture in advance what would really be in frame if the camera stood there. STEP 4 Write the prompt in English, split into blocks, and generate it in Seedance 2.5. Keep it to 2,000–3,000 characters — a prompt that’s too long comes back “failed”. The full guide (glossary, camera-position table, common mistakes and editing) and 3 ready-made prompts are below.

left 90° — looks into the lens

FORMAT Single continuous shot, 16:9, 5 seconds, photoreal documentary look. REFERENCES @video1 is the reference for the man's identity and face, his wardrobe, the table, the lighting and the color. Ignore its camera position and framing. @image1 is a photo of the same place, used only as reference for the surroundings. Do not reproduce its camera position or framing, and do not include the tripod, the camera or any crew. SUBJECT The same young man from @video1: pink t-shirt, dark hair, black wristwatch, a ring, a small lavalier mic clipped to his shirt. He sits at the small round glass table. On the table, exactly as in @video1: the dark laptop open in front of him, a branded paper bucket, a black cup and a water bottle. CAMERA AND GEOMETRY Pure side view, exactly 90 degrees from the direction his body faces. The camera stands level with the table, 4 meters away, at his seated eye level, holding still with a very slight handheld drift. In frame: he is seen in full profile, his shoulder line running across the frame, his nose and chin pointing toward the edge of the frame, his ear and cheek facing the camera. Shallow depth of field: his face sharp, the background soft. GAZE A person is standing exactly where the camera is, and he is talking to that person. His eyes meet the lens directly: the pupils sit in the middle of his eyes, centered on the lens, not turned toward the corners. 0.0s-1.0s - he is in profile, looking ahead at the laptop. 1.0s-1.6s - he turns his head toward the camera and his eyes land on the lens. 1.6s-end - he holds eye contact with the lens while he talks, his head in three-quarter view, with only small natural blinks and head movements. ACTION He talks in that direction, relaxed and friendly, one hand resting on the table beside the laptop, the other making small gestures near his chest, a short nod and a light smile. BACKGROUND Behind him: the paved terrace and grass, then the road with parked cars and tall green trees above, soft and bright in the sun. LIGHTING AND LOOK Bright natural daylight from above through foliage, dappled highlights on his shoulder and the table, warm summer color, the same camera grain, softness and exposure as @video1. AUDIO Quiet outdoor ambience only: distant street sounds, soft wind. No dialogue. CONSTRAINTS - The camera is beside him, never behind him: the back of his head is never toward the lens, his face stays visible in every frame. - The open dark laptop stays on the table in front of him in every frame. - The man's identity, face, hair, t-shirt, wristwatch, ring and lavalier mic stay exactly as in @video1. - No camera, no tripod, no lights, no crew and no filming equipment anywhere. - Photoreal, one continuous shot, no on-screen text.

SUBJECT The same young man from @video1: pink t-shirt, dark hair, black wristwatch, a ring, a small lavalier mic clipped to his shirt, sitting at the small round glass table with the dark laptop open in front of him, a branded paper bucket, a black cup and a water bottle. CAMERA AND GEOMETRY Pure side view, exactly 90 degrees from the direction his body faces, from the opposite side. The camera stands level with the table, 4 meters away, at his seated eye level, holding still with a very slight handheld drift. In frame: he is seen in full profile in the right half of the frame, his nose and chin pointing toward the left edge, his ear and cheek facing the camera, the whole outline of his profile clearly readable against the background. GAZE He looks ahead in the direction his body faces, toward the left edge of the frame, talking to a person standing there. Twice during the shot he glances toward the camera, his pupils landing centered on the lens for about half a second each time, then returns to the person he is talking to. ACTION He talks, relaxed, one hand resting on the table beside the laptop, the other rising briefly in a small gesture and settling back, a light shrug of the shoulder, then he leans back slightly in the chair. BACKGROUND Behind him: the open paved terrace with white garden chairs, grass, tall green trees and, further away, a road with parked cars, all soft and bright. LIGHTING AND LOOK Bright natural daylight from above through foliage, dappled highlights on his shoulder and the table, warm summer color, the same camera grain, softness and exposure as @video1. AUDIO Quiet outdoor ambience only: distant street sounds, soft wind. No dialogue. CONSTRAINTS - The camera is beside him, never behind him: the back of his head is never toward the lens, his face stays visible in profile in every frame. - No food truck, no red vehicle and no food-truck signage anywhere in frame. - The open dark laptop stays on the table in front of him in every frame. - The man's identity, face, hair, t-shirt, wristwatch, ring and lavalier mic stay exactly as in @video1. - No camera, no tripod, no lights, no crew and no filming equipment anywhere. - Photoreal, one continuous shot, no on-screen text.

from above — over the head, straight down

Top-down overhead shot. The same 8.9-second moment as @video1, filmed from a static camera 2 meters directly above the young man's head, lens pointing straight down. Only the camera position changes. His face, expressions, mouth movements, hand and head movements with their exact timing, his clothes, the table and objects, the light and the audio are 100% identical to @video1. CAMERA: completely static top-down view for the whole shot. Never moves, tilts, rotates, zooms or cuts. Never a front or side view. The top of the frame is behind him (his chair); the bottom of the frame is in front of him (the table). When he looks up, his face appears upright and looks straight into the lens. FRAME: his head and shoulders in the centre, his head about one-fifth of the frame height. The table in the lower-middle part. Ground visible all around. TABLE, 1:1 from @video1, seen from above: grey-teal square wooden top. Dark laptop in front of his chest, lid open toward him. Paper chicken bucket at the far left corner, seen as a round open top. Black paper cup to the right of the laptop, seen as a small round opening. A clear plastic water bottle standing upright at the far right corner: from above we see its round blue screw cap in the centre with the clear rounded shoulders around it - it is a bottle, not a cup. Nothing added, nothing removed, nothing moves. GROUND: small square grey concrete paving stones in mixed grey tones under the table and his light beige wooden cross-back chair, a few dry leaves on them. Beyond the table, green lawn. Dappled leaf shadows from a large tree above. No people, no tripod, no truck. MOTION, exactly @video1: 0.0-1.5s: facing forward, we see the top of his head; he talks, hands gesturing in front of his chest. 1.6-1.8s: he tilts his head back and looks straight up into the lens. 1.8-2.9s: looking into the lens, calm, smiles at 2.8s. 3.0-4.1s: raises his left arm toward the lens, open palm waving, laughing. 4.2-4.6s: points his left finger up, then brings it to his nose. 4.7-5.1s: lowers his left arm. 5.2-6.2s: palms pressed together at his chest, looking up. 6.3-8.9s: fingers clasped at his chest, looking up into the lens, talking. No other movements. Watch on his left wrist appears on screen-right; ring and bracelet appear on screen-left. LIGHT: the same bright summer sun as @video1, soft dappled light. AUDIO: original audio of @video1, unchanged. Photoreal, real skin texture, real fabric, fine natural grain. 16:9, 1080p, 30fps, 8.9 seconds, one continuous shot.
