How to Recreate This Video, Step by Step

  1. Pick a still image — painting, drone still, or AI frame.
  2. Open it in your Photos app.
  3. Draw a direction line with an arrow. Start = Point 1, end = Point 2.
  4. Go to Higgsfield and start a new video.
  5. Upload the image, set model to Seedance, flip on Unlimited.
  6. Type your direction prompt:
Prompt
At point 1 fly low angle toward the subject, then orbit around it, ending off at point 2.
  1. Keep it simple — one clear sentence.
  2. Hit generate. If motion's off, tighten the wording near the transition instead of redrawing the line.
  3. Repeat with real drone footage — same steps, swap the still image.

The Point 1 to Point 2 Method

  • Grab a starting image. Painting-style shots, drone stills, or AI-generated frames all work.
  • Draw a direction line in your Photos app. Mark start as Point 1, end as Point 2.
  • Upload into Higgsfield.ai, switch model to Seedance.
  • Type your direction description — what happens at each point along the line.
Prompt
At point 1 push in low over the water toward the lighthouse, then circle the tower once, ending off at point 2.

Keep it literal. Start action, middle action, end action — nothing more.

Why This Works So Well

Most video models guess at camera movement from vague language. Seedance reads a literal spatial path you drew, removing the ambiguity.

This is also why it holds up on surreal or fantastical shots. Unusual moves — flying low toward a giant statue's face, orbiting a spear-wielding figure — have no stock footage reference for a text-only model to lean on. A drawn path gives it a literal target regardless of how strange the scene is.

It Works on Real Drone Footage Too

Take an actual drone shot, draw your line and arrows the same way, mark Point 1 and Point 2, upload it. Same process, same prompt structure.

What's New in Seedance 2.5

  • Partial edits, not full regenerations. Change one element without regenerating the entire clip.
  • Object morphing mid-shot. Elements transform live within the generation.
  • Advanced visual effects with better style accuracy. Surreal, painterly, hyper-realistic — held consistently across the whole shot.

How to Actually Run This on Your Phone

  • Open your image in the native Photos app on iOS or Android.
  • Use the markup tool to sketch a direction line and arrow.
  • Note which end is Point 1 and which is Point 2 in your prompt.
  • Upload into Higgsfield.ai, select Seedance.
  • Write your prompt using start-middle-end structure.
  • Generate and review. If motion's off, tighten the wording near the transition point rather than redrawing the line.

The Takeaway

Draw the path, describe the action at each point, keep the language simple. Start with a single two-point move before layering in orbits or object morphing.
