Seedance 2.5
TOAD: “One More Meeting”
15s · 9:16 vertical · soft lighting · simple backgrounds · gentle cuts
Character lock (every shot): Toad mascot suit: green plush texture, oversized eyes, crooked stitched smile, red shirt, yellow overalls with suspenders. The head is a solid, rigid costume piece, and the eyes and mouth never move. Breathing shows only as a gentle rise and fall in the shoulders and arms, like a person inside the suit.
Shot-by-shot script
Shot 1 (0–3s): Close-up
Toad opens the laptop with both plush hands, hunched slightly forward. The screen glow lights the fabric.
Caption: “Just one quick thing.”
Shot 2 (3–8s): Medium shot
Toad grabs the laptop with both hands and rotates it to face the camera, so the audience sees the screen. The calendar fills with colored meeting blocks, one after another. Toad holds still behind the laptop, then his whole head turns slowly to the camera as one rigid piece.
Caption: “This feels like a tomorrow problem.”
Shot 3 (8–12s): Medium shot
Toad closes the laptop with one flat push and picks up a coffee mug with both hands. His shoulders rise and fall in a slow breath. The body does the acting while the head stays frozen.
No caption.
Shot 4 (12–15s): Slow push-in to the head
Toad holds the coffee, his shoulders breathing gently. The shot ends on the fixed crooked stitched smile.
Caption: “Same Toad. Different days.”
Audio: Soft lo-fi or acoustic track you have the rights to, plus a light laptop click and a mug clink.
