Pulled Through
The Portal

A frozen doll-like figure on a Photoshop canvas snaps to life, breaks through the monitor screen, and gets dragged back by a robotic fist — a viral desk-cam UGC ad built with Seedance 2 Mini.

What You'll Create

A single unbroken 15-second desk-cam shot — the camera never moves. A tiny doll-like figure named Lisa stands frozen on a blank Photoshop canvas on an ASUS monitor. She suddenly comes to life, smashes through the screen's liquid-like surface, and lands on the keyboard below, breaking the keycaps as she delivers a direct-to-camera sales pitch. A giant robotic fist then punches through the screen, grabs her, and drags her back through the portal — the screen settles back to calm, frozen stillness, like nothing happened.

Plan your 3-4 short lines before generating — timing matters

1

Prepare Your Reference Photo

A clear photo is the foundation this whole generation is built on

1

Choose a clear, well-lit photo of yourself (or whoever's appearing in the clip). Front-facing works best — avoid sunglasses or heavy shadows.

2

Turn it into a multi-angle reference sheet using GPT Image 2 — four angles plus a face close-up on a plain background, exactly like the one below. This is the same method used to build the reference sheet for this generation.

3

Open Dreamina AI and start a new Seedance 2 Mini image-to-video generation.

4

Upload your reference sheet as the reference / character image.

Character Sheet — Created With GPT Image 2
Lisa multi-angle character reference sheet — blonde hair, black leather jacket, black mini dress, rosary cross pendant, black knee-high boots

Camera: same locked-off wide desk shot, no cut, no camera movement
Subject: Lisa suddenly snaps to life on the canvas, head whipping toward the viewer, expression electric with urgency, she steps forward and slams both tiny hands against the inside of the screen surface causing a violent clear liquid ripple effect to spread outward across the entire monitor surface like a stone hitting still water, concentric crystal clear ripple rings spreading from her hand impact points across the screen, she presses her tiny face close to the glass screaming directly out at the viewer with raw desperate energy:
hey you. did you know dreameena launched seedance 2 mini
Environment: monitor screen surface rippling with clear liquid membrane effect, keyboard in foreground, dark desk, studio light above
Lighting: clear ripple effect refracting screen light outward #FFE8C0, cool white studio bar #E8F4FF, ripple rings catching light as they spread across monitor surface
VFX: clear liquid membrane ripple propagation from hand contact points, concentric crystal ripple rings spreading to monitor edges, light refraction through ripple waves, no colour change just pure clear water-like membrane distortion
Atmosphere: sudden explosive energy after eerie stillness, Lisa's hair and jacket animating wildly as she screams, ripple rings still spreading across screen surface
Mood: shocking sudden awakening, visceral screaming urgency, terrifying contrast from frozen stillness

[00:05–00:08] LISA JUMPS OUT — LANDS ON KEYBOARD
Camera: same locked-off wide desk shot, no cut, no camera movement, viewer sees full desk and monitor throughout
Subject: Lisa hurls herself forward through the screen membrane still rippling, bursting out into real space as a tiny 6 inch miniature figure, clear dimensional warp shimmer trailing behind her as she exits, she drops down and lands hard on the black mechanical keyboard keys below the monitor, tiny boots crashing onto the keycaps, keyboard keys cracking and splintering under the impact of her landing, key caps fragmenting and flying outward, she steadies herself standing on the broken keyboard, hair wild, jacket charged with residual warp energy, looking directly into the camera at the audience, screaming forward with fierce breathless energy:
fast low-cost no-queue ai video
Environment: broken keyboard keys around Lisa's tiny boots, key caps cracked and scattered, monitor behind her still showing Photoshop with clear ripple residue on canvas, right panel thumbnails identical and consistent, studio light above

Mood: explosive kinetic landing, fierce direct address to camera, raw adrenaline

[00:08–00:12] ROBOTIC FIST GRABS HER — DRAGS HER BACK
Camera: same locked-off wide desk shot, no cut, no camera movement
Subject: a massive black robotic fist suddenly punches through the monitor screen surface from inside causing another violent clear liquid ripple explosion across the screen, the black chrome mechanical fingers extend and snap closed around Lisa's tiny waist gripping her jacket, the vortex erupts behind the canvas inside the monitor — violent swirling dark energy churning purple and cyan #7B00FF #00F5FF — the robotic fist begins dragging tiny Lisa backward off the keyboard and back toward the screen, her tiny boots scraping across the broken keyboard keys as she is pulled, she grabs onto broken key caps fighting against the grip, rosary pendant swinging wildly, screaming and straining toward the viewer:
55 percent off until june 21
Environment: monitor screen rippling violently as robotic fist extends through it, vortex churning inside the canvas behind, broken keyboard below Lisa's dragging boots, dark desk, studio light above

VFX: second clear liquid ripple explosion from robotic fist punch-through, vortex energy swirling violently inside canvas, sparks from robotic fist fingers, motion blur on Lisa being dragged, boot drag marks across broken keyboard keys
Atmosphere: terrifying mechanical grip, vortex energy casting chaotic light across entire desk scene, Lisa's hair thrashing as she is dragged, desperate clawing against keyboard
Mood: terrifying reversal, mechanical cold versus human desperate energy, visceral dread

[00:12–00:15] LISA SUCKED BACK IN — SCREEN RETURNS TO NORMAL
Camera: same locked-off wide desk shot, no cut, no camera movement
Subject: the robotic fist drags Lisa fully off the keyboard and hauls her back through the monitor screen membrane, she is pulled through the rippling liquid screen surface still screaming toward the viewer, one tiny hand outstretched reaching desperately outward as she disappears:
link in bio
she is sucked fully into the vortex which then violently collapses inward, vortex energy imploding with a flash of purple and cyan, the screen surface ripples outward one final time then slowly settles back to completely calm and still, the Photoshop canvas returns to blank white A4, and Lisa stands frozen and motionless like a Barbie doll in the centre of the canvas again, perfectly still, exactly as she was at the very beginning, like nothing ever happened, right panel thumbnails consistent and identical
Environment: monitor calm and still, keyboard below with scattered broken key caps, dark desk, studio light above, dark room
Lighting: vortex light implodes and fades, screen returns to soft warm glow #FFE8C0, cool white studio bar #E8F4FF, deep shadow back on desk
VFX: vortex implosion flash, screen surface final outward ripple settling to still, Photoshop canvas returning to clean white, Lisa snapping back to frozen doll pose
Atmosphere: eerie return to stillness, broken keyboard keys the only evidence anything happened, uncanny calm restored
Mood: chilling full circle, doll-like freeze restored, haunting and viral

No cut, no end card. Camera never moves. Frame holds on frozen Lisa standing motionless on white canvas like a Barbie doll. Monitor and full desk with broken keyboard visible throughout.
🎬

This is the real, unedited prompt from the original generation — copy it exactly, including the timestamps. The camera never moving for all 15 seconds is what sells the illusion; any camera drift breaks the effect.
