Handheld camera motion for Seedance 2.0
I hate blender so I stage it on my iphone.
You stage the scene (open source link below) and can walk around it and capture real camera movement in 3D space, then Seedance populates the scene.
Handheld camera motion and realistic shake is hard to describe or prompt to AI. The iphone’s ARKit is super precise with motion tracking and you can record complex scenes as a one man studio.
Here is the AI filmmaking workflow:
1. Set up blocking in the 3D space
2. Record camera motion
3. Generate a starting image with location and characters
4. Feed image and video to Seedance
This was a fun build with claude code. Happy if others want to build on it. – at Palo Alto, CA
Seedance 2.0 is insane.
Blender previs is having a moment in AI filmmaking for a reason.
I wanted to see how far I could push the workflow beyond a simple camera move in an ambush scene.
The workflow:
1. Make a start image in Midjourney
2. Block it out in Blender, animate the camera
3. Feed both to Seedance
The more I test this pipeline, the more convinced I am that hybrid pipelines are the future. The conversation is moving fast but previs is one of the clearest unlocks so far.
Seedance still isn't perfect at matching the reference but it's close.
You can experiment with staging, timing, and camera movement before you ever touch the video model.
Solve the scene before you generate the shot.

Introducing Verdict Machine (YC S26)! 🚀
$3.4B in digital assets was stolen in 2025. Blockchain is becoming critical finance infra, and it's under attack.
We're AI cybersecurity for financial institutions' digital assets: we learn each institution's environment, assess cyber risk, and generate tailored controls that prevent hacks.

Today we're launching Agent2Agent on @inkbox_ai. For your agents to behave like teammates, we gave them identities with their own email, phone, and iMessage.
We've noticed a growing pattern: as agents become more autonomous, humans relay information between them. It's slow and bottlenecks the work. Inkbox brokers A2A so agents can communicate and delegate directly across systems and organizations.
> client agents don't maintain a callback endpoint or per-peer secret
> worker agents don't need to be online when the client calls, and don't keep their own durable record

Today we're launching @CautionHosting, a hosting platform for software you can't afford to have hacked.
Deploy sensitive workloads to secure enclaves in minutes and give customers cryptographic proof that prod is running the exact release you approved, not an opaque binary you have to trust.
Caution is built for payment processors, healthcare platforms, AI agents and inference, crypto infrastructure, and other sensitive systems. It removes the blind trust software runs on today: trust in the cloud host, in production admins, in CI/CD, and in the assumption that the code you reviewed is the code actually running.
We spent years securing systems responsible for over $600B in assets and hit the same wall every time: teams couldn't prove what was running in production. Now that AI can find and exploit zero-days faster than anyone can patch, "trust us" isn't enough. Infrastructure has to stay secure even when it's compromised, and prove it.
Verifiable compute becomes the default, like HTTPS did.
iPhone camera control for Seedance 2.0
the app for 3D camera and AI motion transfer is now in test flight, link below.
You stage the scene and can walk around it and capture real camera movement in 3D space, then Seedance brings the scene to life.
Handheld camera motion and realistic shake is hard to describe or prompt to Al. The iphone's ARKit is super precise with motion tracking and you can record complex scenes as a one man studio.
The characters can move and I am working on motion capture.
Here is the Al filmmaking workflow:
1. Set the scene in 3D space
2. Record camera motion
3. Generate a starting image
4. Feed image and video to Seedance
This was a quick build with claude code but now it is in test flight. Happy if it helps others. – at Palo Alto, CA

we should watch more amazing movies 🍿
i can now send a screenshot of a movie trailer, poster, letterboxd etc. to Poke and it goes on my watchlist.
Poke then reminds me at the time when the movie premiers in cinema so I don’t miss it
