Regardless of which platform you use, only use real person materials that belong to you or for which you have obtained authorization.

II. Directly Copyable Prompts

Seedance 2.0 Storyboard Prompt:
Based on the characters, scene settings, shot order, and camera movements in the storyboard, generate a 15-second video. Dialogue strictly follows the storyboard. Keep characters, products, and scenes consistent. Movements are natural and coherent, shots transition smoothly. Do not show subtitles in the video.

YouMind Prompt to Prevent Automatic Decomposition:
Do not decompose, do not analyze, do not rewrite the script, and do not add extra shots. Directly follow the script and storyboard requirements, use Seedance 2.0 to create the video. Keep characters and scenes consistent. Do not show subtitles in the video.

III. Script and Storyboard Resources

IV. How to Bypass Real Person Face Lock Restrictions.

How to Handle Real Person Materials
First prepare a character design sheet, including at least front view, side view, half-body, and full body. Keep clothing, hairstyle, age, and color scheme consistent.
You can bypass the platform's face restrictions by covering the face, erasing facial features, or modifying the material. (For example, one front view image with eyes covered, one with nose covered.)
Most Credit-Efficient Order:
Write a 15-second script → Generate character and scene images → Create storyboard → Check consistency → Generate with Seedance → Edit in CapCut
Do not repeatedly generate random videos from the start. First fix the reference images and storyboard. This usually saves more credits than redoing the video ten times.
