Production Notes
Seedance 2.5 can render up to 30 seconds of video. This was my first attempt taking full advantage of that feature.
This scene involves a street-smart cop. As such, I wanted to give her character a bit more fight and have her express her defiance with words, so I prompted Seedance to have her barely utter the word, “Get-” while she’s struggling – as in, “Get off me!” – but have my antagonist cut off her protest by further tightening his wire. Seedance hallucinated and rendered him tightening it so much that he broke her neck. It certainly works on that level as a death scene, but I her to asphyxiate, not get her neck broken. Unfortunately, five more iterations not only failed to fix that problem, they introduced others as well. By then, I had spent $60 on video credits, so I went with this version. Ironically, it was the first attempt, and only cost me $10. 😛
The Story
The division captain of a police department is at home, talking to one of her subordinates on her cell phone. She’s frustrated with their inability catch the man who’s strangled nineteen women, and insists they keep digging for leads, unaware that the only lead that matters is standing in her blind spot.
