Travel through Egypt.
End as the pharaoh.

A 40-second descent — down the Nile, past Giza, into a cursed necropolis — that cracks open to reveal your own face as a cyber-pharaoh. The full Seedance 2 keyframe workflow behind it: four AI keyframes, three clips, one continuous journey. Watch it, copy it, run your own. No email.

Creator case study: model names, settings and generation counts describe my recorded workflow, not a controlled benchmark. Prompt instructions are targets; likeness, continuity and timing require review. Check your provider's current reference, duration, audio and pricing options before rerunning.

The exact prompt
THE PHARAOH PROTOCOL — Seedance 2 start+end keyframe journey

=== STEP 1 · KEYFRAMES (image model) ===
[1] EGYPT ATLAS — an ultra-premium miniature city of Cairo built into an aged atlas map of Egypt: the Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Citadel, the Cairo Tower, the Nile, tilt-shift miniature, golden hour. (GPT Image 2, 16:9)
[2] CAIRO SKYLINE — golden-hour Cairo across the Nile: the Citadel of Saladin, the domed Mosque of Muhammad Ali, minarets, feluccas, palms. (GPT Image 2, 16:9)
[3] NECROPOLIS — a cursed abandoned Egyptian necropolis-fortress at twilight: colossal pylons, shattered obelisks, an Anubis jackal-colossus guardian, lapis-blue and blood-crimson fog. (GPT Image 2, 16:9)
[4] CYBER-PHARAOH (YOU) — a frontal portrait of YOUR real face (generated FROM your own photo) as a living pharaoh in a golden Tutankhamun-style nemes headdress, augmented with a glowing teal-cyan cyber-eye and a circuit cheek-plate. Real flesh, not a gold mask. (Nano Banana Pro, your photo as reference, 16:9)

=== STEP 2 · MOTION (Seedance 2.0 Mini · image-to-video · start + end frames) ===
CLIP 1 — TRAVEL (start = atlas, end = Cairo, 15s): dive into the map and plunge into the real Nile at water level; fly fast downstream past the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx; zoom toward the city and resolve into the real golden-hour Cairo skyline. The city does NOT grow out of the water — it is a real flight down the Nile that arrives at the city.
CLIP 2 — DESCENT (start = Cairo, end = necropolis, 10s): the sun sets, the sky burns crimson then twilight, sand and time sweep the frame, and the camera sinks through a swirling sand-and-time vortex down into the underworld, emerging in the cursed necropolis.
CLIP 3 — REVEAL (start = necropolis, end = cyber-pharaoh, 15s): a violent FPV rush through torchlit hypostyle halls, moonlit pyramids and a flooded chamber — camera alone, NO floating figures — then it slams into the Anubis guardian's face, the stone cracks, and reveals YOU, the living cyber-pharaoh.

=== STEP 3 · STITCH ===
Concatenate the three clips with ~0.5s dissolves on the shared frames (clip 1 ends on Cairo = clip 2 starts on Cairo; clip 2 ends on the necropolis = clip 3 starts on the necropolis). 16:9, 720p. About 40 seconds, one seamless journey — down the Nile, into the tomb, out as the pharaoh.

// THE TRICK

Start frame + end frame. Let the model fill the journey.

On an endpoint that supports start and end images, supply both ends of a beat to guide the camera move. Reusing a boundary frame between clips can help continuity, but does not guarantee an invisible join or a true camera path. Inspect for morphing, changes in likeness and timing before stitching the sequence.

Inputs — the Egypt atlas keyframe and a real photo of the subject's face

INPUT — keyframes + your face

Result — the subject's real face as a golden cyber-pharaoh

OUTPUT — you, the pharaoh

  1. 01Generate 4 keyframes with an image model: the Egypt atlas, the Cairo skyline, the cursed necropolis, and YOUR face sculpted into a golden cyber-pharaoh (Nano Banana Pro, from your own photo).
  2. 02Run 3 Seedance 2 Mini image-to-video clips using start+end frames: atlas->Cairo (Nile travel), Cairo->necropolis (the descent), necropolis->your pharaoh (the reveal). 16:9, 720p, 15/10/15s, genre auto.
  3. 03Stitch the three with short dissolves on the shared frames. Down the Nile, into the tomb, out as the pharaoh.
Two things that make or break it

Reuse the boundary frame between clips, then review the join at normal speed. Matching frames can reduce discontinuity; dissolve length and motion still need editing.

Generate the final keyframe from a permitted face reference to guide the reveal. Confirm likeness in the result. Compare current provider credit costs rather than assuming Mini is half-price; if a job is rejected, review the provider guidance and revise the input appropriately.
