A comprehensive set of prompts designed for Seedance, aiming to unlock expressive cartoon animation style, focusing on animation principles such as squash and stretch and lively rhythm.
Emphasize snappy animation with lively energy, pose-to-pose, strong anticipation, overshoot, squash and stretch, quick switches in facial expressions, and follow-through on hair and sleeves. Give the movements a distinctive rhythm with variation in pacing: Hold still poses firmly for a split second, then transition to the next movement with a quick, bouncy snap. Make it comical and well-timed, but keep the actions easy to read. Movements follow: "stillness → preparatory action → sudden acceleration → large overshoot → sharp stop → hair and sleeves sway delayed." Facial changes are exaggerated and comical. Poses are clear in silhouette, with a solid hold of 0.1–0.2 seconds at the end of each action. Use cartoonish squash & stretch, motion blur, short afterimages, dramatic smear frames and speed lines sparingly. Physics are slightly exaggerated beyond reality, but the character's footing and center of gravity don't break.
