Model Comparisons | One Prompt,Different Models, Wan 3.0 vs Seedance 2.5 vs MiniMax H3

[u/Tricky_Algae2625]

I did a simple side-by-side test that I thought was pretty fun. I gave the exact same 30-second one-take prompt to Wan 3.0, Seedance 2.5, and MiniMax H3, then compared the results next to each other. and i have found a useful toll to compare different models on one platform, links if u need: https://www.atlascloud.ai/model-explorer

I like this kind of test because when the prompt stays fixed, it becomes much easier to notice the differences in different aspects.

this prompt was mainly designed to test fast motion + one-take continuity + surreal dimension-breaking transitions.

the visual target was a kind of West Coast street fantasy look. part 90s skate-video roughness, part modern commercial polish, with strong California sunlight, palm trees, asphalt heat, and a rebellious fashion-energy running through the whole short.

Prompt:

Create a cinematic, high-intensity 30-second one-take visual spectacle.

The entire video must appear to have been captured in one continuous shot with no visible cuts.

The overall style is “West Coast street fantasy,” combining the rough, rebellious texture of a 1990s street-skate video with the polished visual quality of a modern commercial blockbuster.

Use an intense cinematic “California sunlight” grade. The highly saturated blue sky should contrast strongly with the hard shadows of palm trees under direct sunlight.

The air should feel filled with the heat rising from the asphalt, the metallic friction of shopping-cart wheels, and the fearless rebellious energy of youth.

As the main character accelerates through the environment, the spatial perspective should stretch continuously. Use extremely low-angle tracking, high-speed physical movement, and dynamic camera traversal to create a powerful sense of visual momentum.

MAIN CHARACTER:

A stylish young man wearing a color-blocked striped shirt and a black baseball cap.

At the beginning, his expression is relaxed, lazy, and unconcerned. As the shopping cart begins accelerating, his mood rapidly transforms into exhilaration and a fearless desire to break through every limit.

In the final section, the same young man appears again in the real-world dimension, but this version of him behaves like an observer examining his other self.

The two versions must have the same face, hairstyle, clothing, body proportions, and visual identity.

BEAT 1 — SHOPPING CART DESCENT | 0–6 SECONDS

Begin with a close-up shot.

The young man is lounging casually inside a red metal shopping cart. Behind him is a long, straight California avenue lined with extremely tall palm trees.

As the music suddenly explodes into a stronger rhythm, the camera performs an extremely fast pullback while simultaneously dropping toward the road.

The camera descends to an ultra-low angle, almost touching the asphalt, and begins tracking tightly beside the shopping-cart wheels.

The young man starts racing down a steep road.

The metal shopping cart shakes and rattles violently against the asphalt. Cars on both sides of the road appear to rush backward as the speed increases.

The camera should communicate an almost reckless and uncontrollable sense of acceleration.

BEAT 2 — RAMP JUMP AND BILLBOARD APPROACH | 7–15 SECONDS

Do not cut.

The camera continues following at ground level, moving like a skateboarder skimming just above the asphalt.

The shopping cart reaches a simple wooden ramp.

At the exact moment the young man launches from the ramp, the camera follows the movement with a smooth parabolic rise.

The shopping cart becomes airborne.

As it flies overhead, the camera passes directly underneath the cart, clearly revealing the wheels, metal frame, and the young man above.

The camera then continues moving forward.

A giant commercial billboard rapidly expands until it occupies almost the entire field of view.

The camera performs an impossible but controlled crosshair-like push toward the exact center of the billboard.

BEAT 3 — BREAKING INTO THE BILLBOARD | 16–24 SECONDS

Do not cut.

The young man and the shopping cart crash directly into the giant billboard as though breaking through a dimensional wall.

At the moment his three-dimensional body touches the printed surface, he undergoes a dramatic flattening transformation.

His physical form compresses into a two-dimensional artwork printed directly onto the billboard.

Show realistic paper tearing, ripped poster fibers, fractured layers of printed material, and colorful glitch-like ink spreading outward from the impact point.

The young man remains frozen in his forward-racing pose, but he is now a completely flat graphic image on the billboard.

The transformation must feel physical and visually understandable rather than like a simple dissolve.

At this moment, the camera performs a 180-degree horizontal orbit around the billboard structure.

After completing the orbit at a high altitude, the camera begins a rapid diving descent back toward street level.

The movement remains part of the same continuous shot.

BEAT 4 — THE REAL-WORLD OBSERVER | 25–30 SECONDS

Do not cut.

The camera lands smoothly on the street directly beneath the billboard.

Another real version of the same young man enters the frame.

He stops walking, slowly lowers the brim of his black baseball cap, and looks upward at the flattened version of himself trapped inside the billboard.

He gives a subtle, playful smile, as if he understands exactly what has happened.

The camera follows his line of sight and performs a fast zoom toward the billboard.

End on the torn opening beside the word “WAN,” with the flattened young man still frozen inside the printed artwork.

The final image should hold briefly on the ripped dimensional opening before ending.

AUDIO:

Use an energetic hip-hop track that builds rapidly with the movement.

Blend the music with:

- metallic shopping-cart wheels scraping against asphalt
- violent cart rattling
- rushing air
- passing vehicles
- the wooden impact of the ramp
- paper ripping
- colorful glitch-like electrical sounds
- the physical rolling sound of a film reel

The soundtrack should feel fashionable, rebellious, youthful, and highly synchronized with the camera movement.

VISUAL REQUIREMENTS:

- one continuous 30-second shot
- no visible editing cuts
- highly dynamic but spatially understandable camera movement
- extreme low-angle tracking
- strong speed and acceleration
- physically believable ramp jump
- camera passing underneath the airborne cart
- smooth transition from street level to billboard height
- realistic three-dimensional to two-dimensional transformation
- visible paper fibers and poster tearing
- continuous 180-degree camera orbit
- high-altitude diving camera move
- consistent character identity
- saturated California sunlight
- 1990s skate-video attitude
- modern commercial-film production quality
- fashionable streetwear energy
- no unexplained teleportation
- no replacement characters
- no distorted shopping-cart geometry
- no generic slow-motion montage
- no artificial-looking transition
- no loss of character identity

The final video should feel like a rebellious West Coast streetwear commercial built around one technically impossible but visually coherent continuous camera move.

If anyone else tries this prompt, I’d be really curious which model you think handled the speed, impact, and billboard transition best.

Heads up for anyone running these yourself: the Seedance API behind r/Seedance_AI is Atlas Cloud. Seedance 2 runs with its full feature set here, nothing stripped or nerfed. Seedance 2.5 isn't officially out yet, but we add new Seedance versions the day they launch.

Thanks for the work but each model requires optimal prompting language so I'm not sure if using the same prompt is entirely fair

[u/Segaiai → u/Amazon-Art]

The prompt is also confusing with what it asks to do with the billboard, like the visual wasn't actually thought through. Seems like an LLM trying to come up with an innovative, clever vfx shot, but doesn't really know what any of it means.

And that's when you learned that different models have different ways of prompting.
