Wake the dragon. The video's cold open: you, in your regular clothes, knocking on a sleeping dragon's snout. Comedic moment, spectacle launch, and your eyeline never breaks toward the camera.
An epic 30-second cinematic fantasy short with spoken dialogue, starring [the man in the reference image] with his exact, recognizable face throughout the entire video, wearing [a plain black hoodie and dark jeans] — no armor, a modern person in a fantasy world. IMPORTANT DIRECTION: throughout this entire clip, he NEVER looks at the camera; his eyeline always stays on the dragon, and he is filmed from rich three-quarter and profile angles so his face remains clearly visible while he speaks TO the dragon.
AUDIO MIX: an epic fantasy adventure soundtrack with a Celtic feel, featuring a low flute melody, deep strings, and taiko drums that build during spectacle moments and drop way down beneath each spoken line; all dialogue is recorded with a close, warm, crystal-clear microphone over the music; every sound effect lands exactly on its visual moment.
SCENE ONE, comedic cold open: a colossal ancient bronze dragon sleeps curled up in a torchlit mountain cavern the size of a cathedral, filled with gold. He walks up to the dragon and KNOCKS on its scaly snout as if it were a front door, knock-knock. One enormous molten-gold eye OPENS with a deep whoosh, the tiny man reflected in its slit pupil. The dragon lifts its head and speaks in a cavernous, sarcastic, deadpan bass voice, perfectly lip-synced: "You woke me up... for a [YouTube intro]?"
SCENE TWO: he looks UP AT THE DRAGON, casually gestures upward, and replies [perfectly synced to the audio reference in his real voice], addressing the dragon, never the camera: "[It’s Seedance 2.5, big guy. Everything you’re about to see... is AI.]" The dragon narrows its unimpressed eye and lets out a small smoke ring that messes up his hair.
SCENE THREE: it sweeps him onto its neck in one motion and BURSTS upward through the mountain ceiling — rocks and gold coins falling in slow motion — breaking through the peak into a golden sunset sky, wings spreading wide with a thunderclap as the camera follows upward, the dragon snarling with a grin: "Hold on, [content creator]." The soundtrack explodes at full volume as they launch.
Sound design: knock-knock on the scales, deep whoosh as the eye opens, the dragon's rumbling voice, puff of smoke, rocks shattering, coins raining down, thunderous wingbeats, roaring wind.
Customize: replace the bracketed dialogue with your own two lines. Keep each under four seconds — short lines sync well; monologues wander.
