Template

Core theme: gritty dark tokusatsu | BLACK SUN aesthetic | broken flesh | combat-damaged transformation | post-apocalyptic battlefield

[Character & scene setup]
Face: Reference uploaded photo. Features, face shape, hairstyle 100%
      preserved. No beautification. Maintain facial wound, gauze,
      bloodstain consistency. Hair covers forehead, expression somber
      throughout. At the moment of transformation, only a slight furrow
      of the brow — no heroic spark, no eye-light, keep the oppressive
      feel.
Clothing: {{base_material}}. Matte metal belt, {{belt_crystal}} at the
          buckle core.
Scene: {{scene}}, light breeze, drifting smoke, overcast sky,
       grey-blue tone. A meteor trailing fire and smoke crosses
       the sky.

[Atmosphere & quality]
Visual base: Anamorphic widescreen cinematic. Simulated IMAX film
             camera, paired with Panavision C-series lens
             (35mm focal, f/4 aperture).
Color & tone: Low-saturation grey-blue dominant. Shadow info
              compressed but detail preserved. Subtle edge bloom,
              moderate film grain.
Style core: Realistic dark battle-damaged aesthetic. Emphasize the
            fusion of biological texture and alien tech. Build an
            oppressive, heavy, live-action sensation of physical pain.

[Camera rules]
Single-shot: One continuous take, no editing.
Angle: Open with low-angle shot, character framed at 30° from the
       left, waist-up. As transformation begins, camera orbits very
       slowly to a level head-on at upper body. After transformation
       completes, orbit to the right side and shift to a high angle.
Breathing: Handheld shot. Throughout, maintain an extremely subtle,
           breath-like camera float to enhance presence.

0–3s · Gaze
Action: Subject stands with weary, defeated posture. Slightly bows
        head, gaze locked on the belt. Back tense. Right hand slowly
        rises, grips the belt body.
Camera: Extremely slow push-in. Capture the subtle rise/fall of breath.
VFX: Both eyes suddenly ignite with {{eye_glow}} glow, eye sockets
     crack around the rim. The glare creates lens flares.

3–6s · Activation
Sound: {{trigger}}.
Action: As the word fades, palm presses hard against the belt core.
        The crystal core is compressed and cracks; {{color_core}} light
        follows the fractures. Hand slowly releases after activation.
VFX: Metal mechanism violently awakens, core splits down the centerline.
     Air collapses inward producing distortion, screen edges stretch
     slightly. A horizontal pulse wave radiates outward in a spiral,
     hair disturbed, dissipating after 0.3s.
Camera: Low-frequency hum approaches from a distance. Camera produces
        a reactive 0.1s micro-tremor.

6–9s · Tearing
Core: Belt core erupts in deep {{color_core}} cracks, ejecting small
      fragments. Golden light fluid seeps out, spreading from inside
      the belt across the torso.
Body: White smoke erupts from within, carrying hair-thin blue arcs
      that crackle.
Clothing: Tears and burns from the inside, debris and ash drift away.
Shell: Shell fragments scatter, organic filaments pull out then —
       defying physics — hover, then eerily retract and reattach to
       the torn wound.
Face: A 1.5cm gash suddenly opens on the cheekbone, glowing orange-red
      from inside, pulsing with the heartbeat.
Camera: Violently shakes and goes out of focus from impact, then snaps
        back into position.

9–12s · Growth
New matter: Brand new biological matter pushes out from within, coated
            in viscous fluid. Surface reflects an iridescent sheen,
            writhing as if alive, advancing toward the heart.
Pauldrons: Newly-formed shoulder armor collides, sparks burst out in
           {{color_core}}, leaving permanent burn-like scars.
Chest plate: Opens and closes with the heartbeat, embers flicker in
             the seams, still not fully sealed after three heartbeats.
Old clothing: Torn beyond repair, ripped from the body by some uncanny
              force and flung out of frame.
Face coverage: A black film begins to spread from the face, coverage
               rate uneven, creating an asymmetric, eerie beauty.
Compound eyes: Bleed light from the inside out one by one. Left eye
               completes 0.5s faster than the right. Some units flicker
               as if faulty, brightness uneven, faint liquid medium
               swirling inside.
Gaze: Throughout the entire transformation, the subject's eyes remain
      locked forward.

12–15s · Completion
Helmet: Both compound eyes assembled, face fully covered by mask.
        Helmet {{helmet_feature}}. Both eyes glow, faulty units still
        flicker, accompanied by a faint electrical hiss every 2 seconds.
Armor: {{armor_color}}, never perfectly flat, battle damage everywhere.
Pauldrons: Edges curl up, fissures continuously seep micro-amounts of
           light fluid, one drop every three seconds.
Waist: A large unhealed fissure, {{color_core}} luminous flow churning
       inside, opening and closing with breath.
Left chest: An old wound torn open again, jagged crack.
Final shot: Orbit to the subject's right, camera shifts to high angle,
            pulls back at extremely slow speed, revealing the figure
            and environment.

Closing: No dialogue. No explosion. No blinding light. Just a figure
         in unfinished battle-armor standing in place. Wind carries
         battlefield smoke. A meteor crosses the distant sky.

Customization tips

Female version

Swap clothing to "black matte leather skinsuit"
Trigger phrase: "alto/breathy + short Korean syllables"
Add to 12–15s helmet: "shaped to flatter feminine silhouette"
Make compound-eye color match the core color

Add a flight-takeoff ending

Add to 9–12s: "Thrusters: a pair of conical turbine thrusters emerge on the back, generated from fiber-optic quantum matter"
Change final shot to: "Subject launches straight up, vertically out of frame. Camera shakes from the massive airflow and heat wave."

Make it more futuristic

Replace "biological matter" with "milky-white nano-particles"
Replace "sparks" with "electric arcs"
Add "unstable line-shaped ancient runes float around the body"

Don't paste IP trigger words verbatim

HENSHIN / AMAZONS / 변신 may all be blocked by Seedance. Alternatives:

Whispered/shouted + made-up syllables (KRRR / TZAA)
Replace specific words with descriptors of emotion + language type ("trembling low murmur, three-syllable Korean")
Use onomatopoeia ("a low rumble + long sigh")
