Seedance 2.0“A blacksmith strikes glowing iron on an anvil in a dim workshop, sparks fly on every hit and each clang lands in sync with the picture, firelight on his face, low angle tripod shot”
Veo 3.1“A long passenger train curves along a single track through a deep wooded valley at golden hour, low sun flaring between tall pines, wildflowers and long grass thrashing in the draught as the carriages pass. The camera tracks alongside at the speed of the train, the forest and a hazy ridge rising above it. Audio: steel wheels ringing on rail, a low horn far off down the valley, wind through grass.”

More from each model

Seedance 2.0

A blacksmith strikes glowing iron on an anvil in a dim workshop, sparks fly on every hit and each clang lands in sync with the picture, firelight on his face, low angle tripod shot
Wide tracking shot of a herd of horses galloping through shallow river water, spray catching the backlight, the camera moves alongside at their speed, legs and manes stay clean through the run
Wide shot of a thunderstorm rolling over wheat fields at dusk, lightning forks on the horizon and the thunder follows a beat later, wind bends the wheat toward camera, slow push-in

Veo 3.1

A long passenger train curves along a single track through a deep wooded valley at golden hour, low sun flaring between tall pines, wildflowers and long grass thrashing in the draught as the carriages pass. The camera tracks alongside at the speed of the train, the forest and a hazy ridge rising above it. Audio: steel wheels ringing on rail, a low horn far off down the valley, wind through grass.
Floodlights snap on one bank at a time over an empty football stadium at dusk, rain drifting through the beams, camera tilting up from the centre circle. Audio: four heavy contactor thuds, rain on plastic seats, a low wind through the stands.
A young woman stands inside a phone box at night, filmed from outside through rain-streaked glass, mouthing words into the handset. We never hear her voice. Heavy rain falls through the streetlight above, running down the panes and softening her face, wet road glinting in the foreground. The camera holds completely still. Audio: rain hammering on the roof of the box, water running in a gutter, one car passing far off. No speech, no music.
