Add your sketch or photo as a reference and ask for the look you want. The still you get back is the first frame of your animation.

A pencil sketch of a fox with a scarf and a mail satchel in an open sketchbook

The same fox as a clay puppet, shown from the front, three-quarter, side and back

A pencil sketch becomes a clay character sheet

The prompt

Turn the fox in this pencil sketch into a handmade clay stop-motion puppet and show it as a character sheet: front view, three-quarter view, side view and back view, standing in a row on a plain warm grey seamless backdrop. Orange plasticine fur with visible thumbprints and sculpting marks, a cream chest and tail tip, dark brown legs and paws, a hand-knitted green wool scarf, a small brown leather satchel with a brass buckle worn across the body. Keep the sketch's proportions and friendly face. Soft studio light, matte clay. No text, no labels, no numbers.

The sheet becomes the reference for every shot below.

A selfie becomes a clay puppet

The prompt

Turn the woman in this photo into a stylized clay stop-motion puppet in the same pose, framing and kitchen. Puppet proportions: a slightly larger head, simplified rounded features, small bead-like eyes, a soft rounded nose. Keep her wavy dark hair as sculpted clay waves, her olive skin tone, her smile and her cobalt blue sweater as knitted felt. Plasticine with faint fingerprints and sculpting marks, the kitchen rebuilt as a miniature tabletop set, soft warm studio light. It must clearly read as a handmade figurine, not a person. No text.

Then animate it: "The clay woman leans toward the lens and says in English, delighted, {Okay, I'm officially made of clay.} Then she laughs and waves at the camera with her free hand. Clay stop-motion, slightly choppy frame rate, the miniature kitchen behind her stays still. Handheld selfie framing with a slight phone wobble, ending on her wave. <quiet kitchen sounds>. No subtitles."

One character, four shotsThe same fox in every frame

Add the character sheet as a reference to each shot. Seedance 2.5 takes up to 30 reference images, so the scarf, the satchel and the face stay close from shot to shot. If a shot drifts, name the detail in its prompt and make it again.

  1. The clay fox bursts out of a tiny post office into a snowstorm at night, a red-sealed letter in its paws

    Shot 1 · 4 s

    The fox from @Image1, without its grey backdrop, bursts out of a tiny post office door at night in a snowstorm, clutching one letter sealed with red wax, then looks up at a lighthouse blinking on a far cliff. Clay stop-motion on a tabletop miniature set. Wide shot, slow push in on the fox. <howling wind>, <the door banging open>. No narration.

  2. The fox runs along a cliff boardwalk in the snow as a wave bursts over the rocks below

    Shot 2 · 6 s

    The fox from @Image1, without its grey backdrop, races along a wooden boardwalk on a snowy cliff toward the lighthouse, the red-sealed letter under its arm, its scarf streaming. Clay stop-motion on a tabletop miniature set. Low tracking shot alongside the fox the whole way. 0-3 seconds: the fox runs flat out. 3-6 seconds: a huge wave smashes the rocks below and spray bursts over the boardwalk; the fox ducks through it and keeps running. <waves crashing>, <wind roaring>. No narration.

  3. The wind snatches the letter and the fox dives into the snow to catch it

    Shot 3 · 4 s

    The fox from @Image1, without its grey backdrop, loses the red-sealed letter to a gust on the snowy cliff top, dives, catches it in both paws, lands on its belly in the snow and hugs it to its chest. Clay stop-motion on a tabletop miniature set. Medium shot at snow level, handheld shake. <a gust of wind>, <a soft thump in the snow>. No narration.

  4. The fox knocks at the lighthouse's red door and hands the letter to an old badger in a knitted cap

    Shot 4 · 6 s

    The fox from @Image1, without its grey backdrop, snow on its ears, stands at the round red door at the foot of the lighthouse. Clay stop-motion on a tabletop miniature set. Static medium shot. 0-2 seconds: the fox knocks. <three knocks> 2-4 seconds: the door opens and warm light spills over the fox. An old grey-and-white striped badger in a knitted cap says in English, softly, {You came all this way?} 4-6 seconds: the badger takes the red-sealed letter in both paws and presses it to its heart, and the fox beams, ending on the two of them in the glowing doorway. No subtitles.

How to make an AI animationin three steps

  1. 1

    Describe the scene and the look

    Write who is in it, what they do and how it should look: clay, cut paper, 3D, 2D or watercolor. Or upload a drawing or a still to start from.

  2. 2

    Pick a model, a length and sound

    Seedance 2.5 is the default. Choose 4 to 30 seconds, the frame shape and whether the clip makes sound.

  3. 3

    Generate, then join the shots

    Watch the clip and change one line if something drifts. Put your shots in order in Studio and export the film.
