FACS Facial Expressions with Seedance 2.0
A new experiment with Seedance 2.0 on @mitte_ai: FACS. For this video, I only used FACS codes in the prompt. I didn't describe the facial expressions in plain language at all. FACS (Facial Action Coding System) is a system for describing facial expressions using individual muscle movements called Action Units (AUs), instead of general emotion labels like "happy" or "sad." It breaks the face into controllable components such as brow movement, eyelid tension, lip movement and cheek activation. Even though it didn't follow all 14 Action Units perfectly, it still interpreted most of them surprisingly well. Seedance 2.0 Prompt for the first 15s: Use the provided character @[image1] as the fixed identity reference. 15s, 1:1, 14 beats, beat-synced, cinematic tight close-up, subtle neutral background, high facial clarity, slow micro push-in, shallow depth of field. 1: AU10 2: AU20 3: AU22 4: AU23 5: AU27 6: AU28 7: AU45 8: AU53 9: AU61 10: AU62 11: AU64 12: AU85 13: AU84 14: AU46 Uneasy, hypnotic, controlled mood. No monster transformation, no gore, no comedy, no text overlay, no watermark.
