Some Silly Moves: Two Friends Goof Off on a Phone Camera (Seedance 2.5, Sketch Anime)
A 30-second Seedance 2.5 prompt for a rough hand-drawn anime sketch shot like a front-camera phone video: two friends whip-pan through a small apartment, each beat in front of a different strange painting, ending in a bedsheet-ghost 'Boo.' Eight timed shots with phone-handling, gaze and gap rules keep the two characters distinct. Shared by @aimikoda.

Your prompt
References: @[ref1]: Yuki. Shoulder-length silver-white hair with long bangs, olive-green eyes, small round silver earrings, loose pale camisole, flat deadpan face. @[ref2]: Sumi. Short black bob with uneven bangs, brown eyes, small gold earrings, cream camisole under an oversized off-white shirt, loud and easily flustered. @[ref3]: the style reference. Hand-drawn look, line quality and palette only; not its pose or layout. Visual style: Rough hand-drawn anime sketch, loose black ink lines, flat watercolor washes, muted grey, sage and beige palette, soft indoor daylight. Shot as a phone front camera video: handheld, restless, constantly bobbing and tilting with whoever holds it, quick crash zooms and whip pans. Avoid: No subtitles. No background music. No slow motion. No other people. Yuki and Sumi never merge or swap faces. Two friends goof around nonstop with a phone camera through a small apartment, each new spot in front of a different strange painting. Every change of place comes through a whip pan or a cut from the phone itself; nobody stands still. A visible gap always separates their faces. Sound: footsteps, phone rustle, shrieks, laughter, one line. Shot list: 8 shots, about 30 seconds. Scene 1: Continuous, in front of an orange painting with two huge round owl eyes. Shot 1 (0-4s): Close two-shot, high angle; the camera bobs quickly with Sumi, who holds the phone with her raised right arm from the top right corner. Yuki springs up into frame from below on screen left and flashes a V sign with both hands, face completely deadpan. Sumi sticks out her tongue and shakes her head side to side, her black bob flying. Cut as Yuki snatches the phone from Sumi's hand; the camera whips left in a blur. Scene 2: Continuous, in front of a blue-grey blob painting with one black hole for an eye. Shot 2 (4-8s): Medium shot, eye level; the whip pan lands here, and the camera, now in Yuki's right hand, quickly pans right to follow Sumi. Yuki stays at the bottom left edge of frame, deadpan. Sumi skids across the floor from screen left to screen right in her socks, arms flailing. Cut as Sumi spins and lunges straight at the lens. Shot 3 (8-11s): Close-up, eye level; the camera, still in Yuki's hand, does a fast crash zoom onto Sumi. Sumi's face is pressed almost against the lens, mouth wide open. Behind her, Yuki does a stiff robot dance with her free arm, still deadpan. Sumi bumps the phone; it tumbles out of Yuki's hand. Cut the instant the phone hits the floor. Scene 3: Later, in front of a dark green painting of a faded face. Shot 4 (11-15s): Extreme low angle from the floor; the phone already lies face up, locked-off camera looking at the ceiling. Both girls lean in over the lens from opposite sides, Yuki on screen left, Sumi on screen right. Yuki flips her silver hair forward over her whole face; one big eye peers through a gap. Sumi shrieks and jumps back out of frame, then her hand dives in and grabs the phone. Cut as the phone lifts off the floor. Scene 4: Continuous, a narrow hallway with a grey wall and a brown smeared painting. Shot 5 (15-19s): Medium close-up, Sumi holding the phone out in front of her and facing it while she runs backward down the hallway, still running flat out, laughing. Far behind her, at center, Yuki glides after her with her hair still over her face, arms limp, closing the distance. Cut as Sumi swings around a corner; the camera whips right. Scene 5: Continuous, in front of a beige wall with a round orange painting. Shot 6 (19-22s): Medium close-up, eye level, handheld; the camera heaves with Sumi's breathing. Sumi, holding the phone in her right hand, presses her back to the wall, panting, eyes darting left and right. Yuki is nowhere in frame. Cut as a white cloth drops in from the top of frame. Shot 7 (22-25s): Insert, close to the lens; the camera jolts once. A single white bedsheet with two black eye holes lowers from above in front of the lens, held by Yuki's hands. Yuki's line (flat, deadpan): "Boo." Shot 8 (25-30s): Wide two-shot, high angle; the camera quickly pulls back, then spins with them. Sumi, phone in her right hand, yanks the sheet with her left; the sheet tangles around both girls and they spin together, laughing, Yuki's hair now neat. Both thrust V signs at the lens. Sumi's index finger is still reaching for the lens when the clip cuts to black as the fingertip covers it.

When to use it
Use when you want a chaotic, handheld two-character comedy clip with whip pans and crash zooms, driven by two character reference images and one style reference.
How to get the best result
- Attach three references in order: character 1, character 2, and a style image (aimikoda made them in Midjourney with --sref 1448908625 3123598145 387469134 3207844525 --stylize 1000).
- Rename a character as one value so every mention stays consistent.
- Keep the 'Avoid' line and the 'visible gap' rule; they stop Seedance merging the two faces.
Watch-outs
- Fast whip pans can smear faces; regenerate if the two characters swap looks.
- The final finger-over-lens cut is easy to drop — check the last 2 seconds.
