Doe · Seedance 2.5 prompt-style test (2026-11-07)

Same locked script (the opening of swap05, the Medicube kaycstash TikTok Shop donor), same model (BytePlus Seedance 2.5 direct), 480p, 12 s, the same two real Doe stick photos as the only references, the same seed. Only the prompt changes.

First read by eye (frames every half second): C, the plain description with no rules, reads most like a real TikTok Shop affiliate. It opens as a mirror selfie, pushes the stick into the lens with the label sharp, then cuts on its own to a closer front-camera frame. B gets the same push-to-lens move but draws its own on-screen caption with a typo. A and D are static talking heads holding the stick at chest height. D, our current production prompt, is the stiffest and overacts by the end. Defect counts fill in when grading finishes; this page updates in place.

A · Bare (one sentence + script)

60-word prompt · $1.24 (115,690 tokens) · vreview: grading still running

Static talking head on a plain wall, stick held at chest height the whole time, little camera movement. It says every word of the script and ends at 11.8 s. A drawn sparkle flashes on the cap near the end.

Prompt, verbatim
A TikTok creator films a selfie-style video ad for this deodorant from Images 1 and 2, saying: "Every time I turn around, Doe Beauty is coming out with a new product. This is Doe Beauty's first ever deodorant. Obviously with Doe Beauty being a beauty brand, they decided to take it up a notch and add kojic acid and niacinamide."

B · Bare + "film it the way a top TikTok Shop affiliate would"

72-word prompt · $1.24 (115,690 tokens) · vreview: grading still running

Opens on a wide-eyed hook face with no product for about 3.5 s, then pushes the stick into the lens so the label fills the frame, pulls back and talks with it beside her face. From about 9.5 s it draws its own caption, 'kojic acid + niacinemide', with niacinamide misspelled. That text would have to be removed in post.

A TikTok creator films a selfie-style video ad for this deodorant from Images 1 and 2. Film it the way a top TikTok Shop affiliate would.

C · Dense plain description, no rules or negatives

311-word prompt · $1.24 (115,690 tokens) · vreview: grading still running

Mirror selfie in a bathroom, phone visible, stick pushed into the lens with the label sharp and the right way round, then a jump cut at about 6.5 s to a close front-camera frame of her face and the stick. The most camera variety of the four and no drawn text, although the prompt never said 'no captions'.

Prompt, verbatim
A vertical handheld selfie video in the style of a TikTok Shop affiliate product review, filmed in a home bathroom in the evening. A woman in her late twenties with warm brown skin, long dark hair pulled back under a puffy beige headband, small gold hoop earrings, a thin gold necklace and a loose cream long-sleeve top stands at the bathroom counter close to the lens, framed from the chest up. Behind her, a little out of focus, are a glass shower door, beige wall tiles and two warm ceiling spotlights. The shot is filmed at arm's length and the frame sways and bobs slightly with her arm. In her other hand she holds the Doe Bright Days deodorant stick from Image 1: a pale sky-blue tube with a cream-white dome of deodorant on top, the lowercase doe logo and "Bright Days, Vanilla & Bergamot" printed in light blue, the same stick as the pair in Image 2. As she starts talking she pushes the stick toward the lens so it fills the lower half of the frame and goes soft for a moment, then pulls it back beside her cheek, turns the label to the camera and taps it with a long almond-shaped nude nail. Halfway through, the video jump-cuts to a slightly closer framing of her face and the stick. Her expression is casual and a little amused, eyebrows raised, and she talks fast in a chatty American voice, like she is telling a friend about something she just found. She says: "Every time I turn around, Doe Beauty is coming out with a new product. This is Doe Beauty's first ever deodorant. Obviously with Doe Beauty being a beauty brand, they decided to take it up a notch and add kojic acid and niacinamide." Warm indoor bathroom light, ordinary phone-camera quality with slight grain and natural skin texture.

D · Control: our production prompt

240-word prompt · $1.24 (115,690 tokens) · vreview: grading still running

Front-camera selfie in the same bathroom and headband as C. She brings the stick up at about 1.5 s and holds it in the same spot for the rest of the take while her expression grows bigger, ending in wide open-mouth smiles. The camera barely moves.

Prompt, verbatim
A young woman films herself on her phone at her bathroom counter, one continuous selfie shot, chest-up, phone propped or handheld with a small natural shake. Render real phone video in full colour. She is a real-looking woman about 27, warm brown skin, long dark hair pulled back under a puffy beige headband, small gold hoop earrings, a loose cream long-sleeve top, natural skin texture with pores, no retouching; keep her face the same in every frame. She stands in an ordinary home bathroom in the evening, a glass shower door and beige tiles behind her, warm ceiling spotlights. Any deodorant stick she holds is the Doe stick from Image 1 (uncapped) and Image 2 (capped): pale sky-blue tube and cap, the same label, never mirrored, never a mini or keychain size. She pulls a Doe deodorant stick out and holds it up to the camera, delighted, turning it in her fingers, chest-up selfie. Her voice is her own, a warm upbeat American woman about 27. Dialogue word for word, each line starting at about the second given: (at 0.0 s) "Every time I turn around, Doe Beauty is coming out with a new product." (at 3.1 s) "This is Doe Beauty's first ever deodorant." (at 4.9 s) "Obviously with Doe Beauty being a beauty brand, they decided to take it up a notch and add kojic acid and niacinamide." No text, captions or stickers on screen. Natural skin texture.
