Seedance 2.5
Text to videoRainy night, neon-lit city street. A young man in a dark jacket, clearly visible in the center of the frame from the first second, walks toward the camera holding an old leather suitcase, rain dripping from his hair. He stops, looks behind him, and slowly lifts the lid; warm golden light spills out and lights up his surprised face. Slow push-in, cinematic 35mm film look, realistic reflections on wet asphalt, natural acting.
