Seedance 2.0Dave vs the Vending Machine
"Use the attached DAVE VS THE VENDING MACHINE storyboard as visual reference. Dave is a Pixar 3D man, early 40s, light brown messed hair, navy blue office shirt sleeves rolled up, dark trousers, black shoes. Bright clean office corridor. NO dark frames. THE CORRIDOR: White walls. Bright fluorescent lighting. Grey floor tiles. Small green plant in background. Silver vending machine against the RIGHT wall. THE MACHINE: Clear glass front. Five rows of generic plain colored products — NO brand names. Top to bottom: blue, red, green, yellow, purple. Card reader, keypad, and display screen on the RIGHT side only. Dispensing tray at the very bottom — completely empty the entire video. THE BAR: Plain red wrapped rectangular bar. Always on SECOND ROW, THIRD COIL FROM LEFT. At the start all red bars sit completely flat on their spirals — not near the edge. THE MOVEMENT: Bar slides smoothly forward along the spiral — gentle natural motion, one rotation at a time. No flipping. No jumping. No spinning. When it reaches the end the front half slides past the coil edge hanging very slightly downward, back half on the last loop. Stops. Does not fall. This is the stuck position — identical every time it appears. DISPENSING TRAY: Empty. Nothing falls into it. Ever. 0:00–0:02 — Wide shot from behind Dave walking toward the machine. All red bars fully inside on the spiral. Not near the edge. SOUND: Cheerful office ambience. Footsteps. 0:02–0:04 — Medium side shot. Dave taps card on RIGHT side reader. Display shows DISPENSING. Front red bar on second row third coil begins sliding smoothly forward. Natural gentle motion. SOUND: Card beep. Mechanical whirr. 0:04–0:06 — Close-up through glass on second row third coil. Bar slides forward naturally. Front half slides past the edge hanging very slightly downward. Back half on last loop. Stops. Does not fall. Tray empty. SOUND: Whirr slows and stops. Silence. One low string note. 0:06–0:07 — Medium close-up on Dave's face pressed against the glass, both hands cupped around eyes. Bar hanging on edge visible behind him. Expression completely concerned. SOUND: Dave's quiet disbelieving exhale. 0:07–0:09 — Medium side shot. Dave shakes machine with both hands — teeth gritted, tie flapping, one foot off ground. Through glass — every product shifts slightly except the red bar on second row third coil. Does not move one millimetre. SOUND: Machine rattling. Dave grunting. Silence when he stops. 0:09–0:11 — Medium side shot. Dave taps card on RIGHT side reader again. Display shows DISPENSING. First bar still stuck. Second red bar begins sliding smoothly forward behind it. Natural gentle motion. SOUND: Card beep. Whirr begins. 0:11–0:13 — Close-up through glass — identical framing to 0:04. Second bar slides forward naturally. Front half past the edge hanging slightly downward directly behind the first bar. Both bars stuck in perfect row. Both still. Both paid for. Tray empty. SOUND: Whirr stops. Silence. Same low string note but lower. 0:13–0:15 — Wide shot from behind Dave. Standing still, wallet in hand, staring at two bars hanging in perfect row through the glass. Display shows THANK YOU. Tray empty. Dave stares two seconds. Turns. Walks away down corridor. Machine visible — two bars still hanging. Footsteps fading. Fade out. SOUND: Dave's slow exhale. Footsteps fading. Faint office ambience. Fade out. Camera: four shots only — wide from behind Dave, medium from the side, close-up through glass, medium close-up on Dave's face. Eye level. No cutaways. Style: Pixar 3D. Bright fluorescent lighting throughout. Dave consistent every shot. Machine identical every shot — NO brand names. Red bar always second row third coil. Movement always smooth and natural. Card reader always RIGHT side. Tray always empty. Dave's expressions at maximum Pixar exaggeration. Machine completely unbothered. That contrast is the joke."
