The Last Lighthouse

The story

A lone lighthouse of salt-bleached stone, with a rusted iron lantern, stands on a jagged rock island. Waves twice the height of a man explode against its base.

How it was made

The Last Lighthouse is an 11-second short made with Seedance 2.0 inside ShowMaker Studio, as one multishot render.

The prompt lists five numbered shots, each with a size, an angle and one move. They are an extreme wide from sea level, a medium wide of the impact with the camera locked off, an extreme close-up with a rack focus, a low-angle wide with a tilt up, and an aerial pull-back.

Sound and music are written in as well: wave impacts, a deep ocean roar, wind through iron railings, a distant foghorn and a low cello drone.

What to take from it

Number the shots in a multishot prompt and give each one a size, an angle and a single move. The model follows five clear shots better than one long description.
