Seedance 2.5 Warung Owner and Elderly Customer Prompt

REFERENCES Text-only production. No image references required. Target: 30 seconds, 16:9, one uninterrupted cinematic take. Create a complete supernatural mystery in a small Jakarta roadside warung at night. One physical camera, exactly two visible human characters, one fixed location. CONTINUITY RULES OWNER: Indonesian man, exactly 40, lean build, short black hair, faint stubble, faded olive work shirt, small permanent scar above his anatomical LEFT eyebrow. CUSTOMER: Indonesian man, exactly 70, grey hair, lined face, faded dark-brown jacket. He has the owner's underlying eye shape, nose, facial proportions and the same scar above his anatomical LEFT eyebrow. He resembles the owner aged thirty years. Keep the men distinct and their ages stable; no morphing, de-aging or face swapping. The customer is a solid physical human, not a ghost. His clothes, hands and chair behave normally. The resemblance is a clue; do not emphasize it before the reveal. There is exactly ONE transparent coffee glass, initially empty. It is filled once, served once, never drunk from, then pushed a few centimeters toward the owner. Do not duplicate the glass, move it between cuts or change its contents. Keep the counter, adjacent table, chair, kettle, doorway and lighting fixed. All time and movement are continuous. No cuts or concealed transitions. SCENE STATE A compact worn warung with faded green walls, a wooden counter and a small table immediately beside the counter's open end. The owner can reach the table with one short step through the open end; no barrier blocks his route. The entrance faces a quiet Jakarta street and is only two steps from the chair. A dim warm practical lamp lights both faces; a weak fluorescent tube fills the room. One kettle already contains prepared black coffee. No brewing or boiling is needed. The empty glass rests on the counter. The owner holds a cleaning cloth. At the start, the owner wipes the counter. The customer is visible at the threshold, not yet seated. No other customers, actors, photographs or written story clues. End with the owner standing beside the table and the customer still seated, both holding eye contact, the untouched coffee between them. TIMESTAMPED SHOT BREAKDOWN These are consecutive beats of ONE SHOT, not separate shots. 00–04s | ARRIVAL Medium-wide framing includes the owner, doorway and adjacent table. The elderly customer, visibly at the threshold, says: “Satu kopi, Pak.” The owner looks up. The camera gently reframes with his glance without cutting. The customer takes two short steps inside and sits. The owner sets down the cloth. 04–08s | COFFEE Keep both men, the owner's hands and the table visible. The owner pours prepared black coffee from the kettle into the single glass. He sets down the kettle, takes one short step through the counter's open end and places the glass in front of the customer. The customer does not drink. Audible pouring and one soft glass-on-wood contact. No dialogue in this beat. 08–12s | MATCHING GESTURE Pause camera movement so the gesture is readable. The customer lightly touches the scar above his left eyebrow with his left hand, then lowers that hand to the table. The owner notices, touches his own scar with his left hand, then lowers it. Show the two gestures sequentially. Keep both left eyebrows visible. The customer's gaze holds quiet recognition. The owner becomes still. No explanatory sound effect or face transformation. 12–15s | QUESTION The camera starts one slow, short physical approach into a closer two-shot. OWNER, quietly: “Kita pernah ketemu?” CUSTOMER, gently, after the question ends: “Setiap hari.” Do not overlap voices. Keep both faces and the table edge in frame. 15–21s | THE SINGLE REVEAL Let the owner study the customer's face for a brief beat. CUSTOMER, with one natural pause after the first sentence: “Aku kamu. Tiga puluh tahun lagi.” The camera settles. Both faces remain in readable three-quarter view. The owner's gaze moves between the customer's eyes and scar. Recognition grows through physical resemblance and the spoken line alone. Allow a short silent reaction after the line. Nothing supernatural changes visually. 21–26s | WARNING The owner takes a small involuntary half-step backward, remaining in frame. The customer uses his right hand to gently slide the same untouched glass a few centimeters toward the owner. Keep its base touching the table. CUSTOMER: “Pulanglah. Mereka masih nunggu.” The owner looks briefly toward the empty street through the entrance. His shoulders soften; his expression shifts from alarm to sober recognition. Do not add family members, a flashback or another explanation. 26–30s | FINAL IMAGE CUSTOMER, still seated: “Jangan terlambat.” The owner turns back. They hold eye contact. The camera remains still. The glass stays untouched on the table. A distant motorcycle passes audibly outside, remaining offscreen. Finish the line early enough to leave roughly two seconds of uneasy silence with low natural room tone. Hold both faces until the clip ends. END. CAMERA ARRI ALEXA 35 aesthetic, 35mm lens, restrained human-operated handheld camera. Start medium-wide from the open customer aisle, with counter, table and doorway in the same view. Follow the glance with a small physical pan/reframe. Approach slowly from the same side of the table during the question. Finish in a medium two-shot containing both faces, hands and the glass. Use enough depth of field to keep both men readable; no focus racks that hide a clue. Frame faces in front or three-quarter view, never an extreme profile hiding a scar. No camera orbit, reverse angle, snap zoom, foreground occlusion or hidden cut. Stop camera movement before the final warning and hold through the ending. PERFORMANCE Restrained, natural Indonesian acting. No theatrical ghost behavior. The owner physically wants to finish closing, then becomes distracted by familiarity. Show hesitation through a stopped hand, delayed breath, a small backward step and a final change in posture. Avoid screaming or exaggerated shock. The customer speaks with tired warmth and regret, without a villainous smile. Keep his gestures economical and his body physically grounded in the chair. Deliver all dialogue exactly as written, at a natural conversational pace. Only the designated speaker moves his lips during his own line. NATIVE AUDIO NO MUSIC, SCORE, MUSICAL STINGS OR VOICE-OVER. No subtitles. Clear synchronized Indonesian dialogue, with distinct middle-aged and elderly voices. No added words, repeated lines, overlapping dialogue or ominous artificial sound hits. Low night ambience: faint insects, distant traffic and fluorescent hum. 04–08s: coffee pouring, kettle set down, glass touching wood. 21–26s: soft glass sliding on wood, clothing and one small footstep. 28–30s: one distant offscreen motorcycle, quieter than any remaining dialogue. Preserve room tone through the final silence. Do not cut the ending line short. VISUAL STYLE Photorealistic Indonesian roadside warung at night: worn wood, faded green walls, ordinary transparent coffee glass and believable Jakarta street depth. Warm practical face lighting with subdued fluorescent fill; keep both scars visible. Restrained contrast, realistic shadows, subtle grain and halation, natural motion blur. Humid atmosphere without heavy haze or rain. Avoid excessive blue or saturated red. Grounded human drama with quiet supernatural tension, no horror spectacle. NEGATIVE DIRECTION No cuts, hidden cuts, transitions, montage, time jumps, camera switching or teleportation. No age changes, face morphing, identity drift, swapped or disappearing scars, costume changes, duplicate people, extra coffee glasses or changing room geometry. No additional customers, visible riders, family members or supernatural figures. No text overlays, titles, subtitles, documents, photos, dated clues or inserted shots. No glowing effects, particles, disappearing characters, supernatural CGI or cyberpunk. No hand through glass, floating cup, spilled coffee or glass leaving the table when pushed. No music of any kind. Complete the dialogue, reaction and final hold within 30 seconds.
