Your own reflection slaps you awake, breaks the news about Seedance 2 Mini, then drags you through the glass — a 15-second comedic-horror UGC ad built with Seedance 2 Mini.
A four-beat bathroom-mirror UGC ad with a full comedic-horror arc. You slam both palms on the sink, hollow-eyed and exhausted — then your reflection reaches out and slaps you across the face to wake you up. It breaks the news about Seedance 2 Mini with genuine excitement, invites you to "come check it out," then grabs your arm and pulls you bodily through the mirror in a burst of shattering liquid glass.
The final AI-generated look this prompt produces
A clear photo is the foundation this whole generation is built on
Choose a clear, well-lit photo of yourself (or whoever's appearing in the clip). Front-facing works best — avoid sunglasses or heavy shadows.
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.

[00:00–00:03] HOOK — BASIN SLAM & SLAP Camera: handheld over-shoulder shot from behind, medium-close, mirror fills the frame. Slight low angle. Subject: male, early 40s, short grey hair, grey stubble beard, olive green overshirt over white tee, dark jeans. Both palms slam down hard on the bathroom sink basin, hunched forward, staring into mirror with hollow exhausted eyes. Environment: modern bathroom, warm overhead practicals, mirror dead centre of frame, slight condensation on glass edges. Lighting: warm tungsten #E8A04A, harsh overhead, deep under-eye shadows on reflection. VFX: the man's reflection of himself in the mirror suddenly moves his right hand out of the mirror and SLAPS the man across the right side of his face whilst the man standing outside of the mirror in front of the sink still has both palms resting in the sink basin — man at the sink recoils hard, grabs his cheek, eyes snap wide open. Dialogue (reflection, sharp and urgent): wake up mate Dialogue (man, stunned): ow what the... Mood: comedic shock, instant pattern interrupt, viral hook energy. [00:03–00:09] REVEAL — THE ANNOUNCEMENT Camera: static over-shoulder hold, subtle handheld breathing movement, man steadies himself on the basin. Subject: man looks back up into mirror, rubbing his cheek, expression shifting from shock to wide-eyed disbelief. One hand still gripping the sink edge. Animated, gesturing with free hand. Dialogue British English accent (man, breathless and excited): i cant believe dreameena launched seedance 2 mini. videos just 2 cents per second, no more waiting. it cant be real Environment: same bathroom, warm practicals, mirror reflection perfectly synced. Mood: genuine excitement, conspiratorial energy, speaking directly to himself. [00:09–00:12] RESPONSE — REFLECTION LEANS IN Camera: slow rack focus shift — sharpens onto the reflection rather than the man's back. Creeping unease. Subject: reflection smiles slowly, leans forward toward the glass from inside the mirror, eyes glinting. Dialogue British English accent (reflection, hushed and inviting): yes come check it out Environment: mirror surface begins to shimmer — subtle liquid mercury ripple spreading from centre outward. VFX: mirror surface pulses like disturbed water, #C0C0C0 silver shimmer, soft glow emanating from mirror edges. Mood: eerie comedy, tone shifts from funny to surreal. [00:12–00:15] CLIMAX — PULLED THROUGH Camera: crash zoom toward mirror, handheld shake, kinetic burst of energy. Subject: reflection's arm reaches OUT through the mirror glass, grabs the man's right arm firmly. Man yanked forward — body distorts and stretches as he crosses the glass threshold, expression pure shock and delight. VFX: mirror shatters inward like liquid glass, #E8F4F8 bright white flash, chromatic aberration burst, motion blur smear as man disappears through. Silver particle explosion, mirror frame pulses #00F5FF neon cyan. Atmosphere: silver particle debris, mirror frame glows and dims. Mood: absurd comedic horror, high energy finale. No cut, no end card. Frame holds on the empty bathroom, mirror surface returning to still.
This is the real, unedited prompt from the original generation. The rack focus shift in beat 3 — from the man's back to sharply on the reflection — is what sells the reflection acting independently; don't skip that camera direction.
