Prompt for an Open-Ocean Shark Video

I created the entire video in SYNTX.AI

using the Seedance 2.0 Pro model.

In this guide, we'll go through the creation of the entire video. The final result consists of a single continuous generation.

1. Preparing the Files

Face Reference

Create a 3Γ—3 face reference grid on a white background with different angles.

(Take clear front and side profile photos in good lighting, then use any AI image generator to create a 3Γ—3 reference sheet from them.)


Step 2: Generating in Seedance 2.0 (Settings & Prompt)

Settings:

Video β†’ Seedance 2.0 β†’ Pro Mode β†’ 720p β†’ 9:16

Duration: 15 seconds

Upload the following image:

@image1 β€” 3Γ—3 face reference sheet

IMPORTANT!

After uploading the image, make sure the @image1 tag has been detected correctly inside the prompt.

FORMAT: Vertical 9:16, 15 seconds, one continuous handheld shot, no cuts. Raw amateur selfie-style underwater footage: Person A films himself on a phone held at arm's length, front-camera angle. The phone itself is never visible in frame. Natural handheld wobble and drift, like real amateur footage, no stabilization, not cinematic.

SETTING: Crystal-clear deep open ocean. The sunlit surface is only a bright band at the very top edge of frame, with a clear gap of blue water between the swimmers and the surface. No boat, reef, seabed, or coastline β€” endless blue in all directions.

CHARACTERS β€” exactly two people in the entire video, arranged in three depth layers:

PERSON A (the subject, filming himself) β€” FOREGROUND.
Face and identity exactly from @image1. He wears the mask and snorkel from @image1 in every single frame where he is visible β€” never bare-faced, the mask never comes off. He is wearing a wetsuit throughout the entire video. Person A fills the near foreground like a typical selfie: masked face and upper body clearly visible, one arm extending off-screen toward the camera. His free hand never enters the frame; Person A never points or gestures. Calm, awed expression.

PERSON B (the other freediver) β€” MIDGROUND, a few meters behind Person A. A completely different, unrelated person: different face, different hair, different build, never resembling @image1. Wears a full-length wetsuit in a clearly different color. He hovers upright and vertical β€” head up, body straight, legs down, gently finning to hold position, small natural sway β€” alive and relaxed, never rigid or frozen. Person B is the ONLY person who ever points or gestures in this video.

WHALE β€” BACKGROUND, deep in the blue far behind Person B. One enormous humpback whale gliding in slow continuous motion β€” body undulating, pectoral fin drifting, tail fluke sweeping β€” never still, never near the surface. A wide, obvious gap of open water always separates Person B from the whale; they never touch.

BREATHING: both are freedivers on breath-hold β€” only occasional sparse bubbles on a rare exhale, never a constant scuba-like stream.

TIMELINE:

0–4.5s β€” Steady selfie framing: Person A in the foreground, Person B hovering in the midground, the whale gliding deep in the background. Person A keeps his eyes on the whale, not the camera, while casually filming himself. Person B gazes out at the whale, absorbed. Serene, awe-inspiring mood. The camera holds this direction with only natural handheld drift β€” no panning.

4.5–7.5s β€” Person B slowly turns from the whale toward the camera, then his gaze catches something behind Person A, behind the camera. His expression sharpens β€” alert, focused, mildly concerned, not panicked β€” and he raises one arm and points urgently past Person A's shoulder, toward the space behind the camera. A short muffled gasp is heard. Person A notices Person B's gesture, stops watching the whale and reacts with brief, mild, natural surprise: slightly widened curious eyes behind the mask β€” no exaggerated fear.

7.5–8.5s β€” Triggered by the point, Person A whips the phone around fast toward the pointed direction: strong motion blur, brief lost focus. Person A, Person B and the whale all sweep out of frame and never reappear.

8.5–15s β€” The camera now faces exactly the pointed direction: open, empty blue water, no surface nearby. A large shark appears dead-center, swimming straight at the lens, growing until it fills the frame β€” one tense beat of apparent collision β€” then it merely bumps its closed snout softly against the lens, harmless and clumsy. The camera jolts: a dull muffled thud, brief shake and blur. The shark drifts back, startled, then calmly turns and swims away into the blue. No chase, no bite. The video ends on relief, not fear.

AUDIO: quiet underwater ambience, distant whale calls, one muffled gasp around second 7, one muted thud at the shark bump. No dialogue, no music.

AVOID: visible phone, camera, GoPro, selfie stick, or any head/mask-mounted device; any third person; Person B resembling or sharing Person A's face; Person A bare-faced or without mask and snorkel at any moment; Person A pointing or gesturing; Person B touching, riding, or floating on the whale; whale at or near the surface; constant scuba-style bubble stream; shark biting, open jaws, teeth, blood, actual attack; multiple sharks or whales; screaming, panicked, overacted faces; boat, reef, seabed, coastline; cuts, text, subtitles, watermark, music.
