took a pixar makeup transformation ad and rebuilt it as photorealistic human UGC.
first attempt at this direction - i've only ever gone human to pixar before
the challenge was holding one face across three beats that look nothing alike.
here's how it held together:
- used the pixar frames as pose and setting references only, never as the identity source — Nanobanana will copy the cartoon face if you let it
- built the human anchor portrait first, then generated the hair-down look as a separate step so the model doesn't drift toward the pixar reference when too many things change at once
- fed the locked stills plus the original clip's motion into Seedance 2 to regenerate the footage as photoreal video
- held one identity across all three clips on the first run
the pixar trend trained people to see ai characters as familiar. reversing the pipeline turns that into something you can actually run as a paid ad

the best AD FORMAT i've seen in months came from scrolling past dave ramsey on instagram
a call-in advice show. authoritative host behind a desk takes a live call from a woman who can't sleep,
diagnoses her problem on air, and recommends the fix with the kind of quiet confidence that makes you forget you're watching an ad
quick workflow:
- generated a single studio shot of the host at his desk and used it as the identity lock for all six clips
- the caller is audio-only through his headset, so there's no second face to keep consistent across cuts
- wrote full performance direction into every Omni prompt: the southern drawl, the listening beats where his mouth stays shut, the product pickup
- rendered all six clips and stitched in CapCut, nothing reshot
the format works because the host sounds like he's run this show for twenty years, and the caller's exhaustion is relatable

Seedance 2.5 is INSANE at automated AI video editing...
a variation that would normally require hiring another UGC creator or paying an editor $200 to rebuild the video can now be generated from a single prompt
I gave Seedance an existing video and told it to replace the person
it preserved the performance, camera movement, pacing, and overall structure of the original video
left: original video - right: edited video
this completely changes how AI UGC can be scaled...
instead of reshooting every time you need a different actor, product, environment, or creative variation, one working video can become the starting point for an entire batch of new creatives
I put together my complete Seedance 2.5 automated editing pack with:
> my exact prompt framework for ai editing with seedance
> how I set up the original clip and reference assets before editing
> how I turn one working UGC video into multiple new creative variations
> what to do when it changes too much, loses the person’s identity, or ignores part of the prompt
> how I get 100% successful Seedance 2.5 generations
