Dragon in a storm: same-prompt test across four models
What they did
An epic fantasy prompt with a dragon in lightning-lit clouds and a sweeping camera, used as a stress test for physics, volumetric light and camera movement.
How it went
The creator ran the identical prompt on Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0, Grok Imagine and a fourth model to compare them.
Copy prompt
A breathtaking cinematic sequence showcasing an epic fantasy world. A massive dragon with iridescent scales soars through stormy golden clouds, lightning crackling around its wings. The camera sweeps dramatically from a sweeping aerial shot over a glowing ancient city carved into a mountain cliff, waterfalls cascading into a glowing abyss below. Slow motion embers and sparks drift through the air. Ultra-detailed, volumetric lighting, 8K quality, cinematic color grading.
We are witnessing a massive shift in generative video. Seedance just set the new gold standard. 🚀Prompt by @TianjinXiin on X, quoted with credit; the example clip lives on their post.
