# More angles from one take

Recipes / Preset / Production. Checked 2026-11-13.

One filmed take gains close-ups, low angles and profiles without a second camera.

- Use when: Founder videos and interviews shot on one phone.
- Phrase: hold the person, the words, the lip sync, the room and the light exactly as filmed and change nothing but the camera; then one line per shot with its timecode and where the camera stands

## Watch out

- Budget three or four generations per sequence and cut the good seconds from each; in the creator's own example the first two attempts kept the wrong angle. (practitioner; Director Chair notes on Seedance 2.5 infinite angles (Rourke Heath))
- Keep the prompt short, 120 to 200 words. His stated reason: long prompts drift back to the original angle. (practitioner; Director Chair notes on Seedance 2.5 infinite angles (Rourke Heath))
- Priced by our CLI on 22 Oct 2026 at 16 credits a second at 1080p: a 22-second sequence is about 350 credits per attempt. (measured; Director Chair notes on Seedance 2.5 infinite angles (Rourke Heath))
- Our own measurement in video edit mode found one camera change per run; the reference mode he uses is not yet run by us. (measured; Director Chair notes on Seedance 2.5 infinite angles (Rourke Heath))

```
Give me a production plan: the shots or scenes in order, what each one needs, and the edit settings, for a short video about [your product], for [your audience]. The technique is more angles from one take: one filmed take gains close-ups, low angles and profiles without a second camera. How it works: hold the person, the words, the lip sync, the room and the light exactly as filmed and change nothing but the camera; then one line per shot with its timecode and where the camera stands. It is right for: founder videos and interviews shot on one phone. Budget three or four generations per sequence and cut the good seconds from each; in the creator's own example the first two attempts kept the wrong angle. Keep the prompt short, 120 to 200 words. Be concrete: numbers, seconds and settings, no theory. Ask me one question first if something you need is missing.
