What This Is
This 15-second 3D anime barbershop video I made got about 200 000 views across Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. A heavyset guy with wild hair sits in the chair.
A barber with anime protagonist energy walks in, pulls out scissors like weapons, and transforms the client in a series of fast, stylized cuts. The whole thing plays out like an action scene with neon lighting, speed lines, and dramatic sound cues.

It’s built for Seedance 2.0 and you can access it on OpenArt. The prompt is detailed enough that the AI generates a full sequence with timed beats, camera angles, and motion styles. Here’s the complete prompt and how to use it.
How to Use It
- Go to OpenArt
- Go to text to video
- Find the Seedance 2.0 model
- Paste the prompt below into the video generation input
- Generate the video
The prompt is long and specific. That’s intentional. Seedance 2.0 responds well to frame-by-frame timing and detailed motion descriptions. The more precise the instructions, the closer the output matches the vision.
The Full Prompt
Style: Urban 3D anime.
Subjects:
Barber: Lean, sharp angular face, slicked undercut. Black bomber jacket, rolled white tee, tool belt worn like a weapon rig. Every move is deliberate, pause then burst then lock. Cold, focused, anime protagonist energy.
Client: Big, heavyset. Wild hair past his shoulders, massive beard swallowing his face. Sits frozen in the chair. Only his eyes move, tracking the barber in growing panic.
Environment:
Urban barbershop at night. Neon signs cast pink and blue light through the window. Warm overhead bulb above the chair. Mirror wall doubles every movement. Chrome tools flare. Steam curls from hot towels.
0:00 to 0:02:
Client drops into the chair. Hair explodes outward in an anime puff. Barber steps in, draws scissors from holster, spins them once (speed lines trail), snaps blades toward camera. Whips the cape. It snaps perfectly into place. Client’s eyes go wide. Sound: bass drop, cape snap, scissor click.
0:02 to 0:05:
Barber attacks the hair through the mirror shot. Energy lines flash as heavy locks fall in slow motion. Comb spins like nunchucks between bursts. Hair goes from wild chaos to clean sides and textured top in rapid precise strikes. Client grips the armrests. Sound: snip rhythm like a beat, falling hair whoosh, low synth pulse.
0:05 to 0:08:
Razor drawn with a flick. Blade catches neon light dramatically. Each stroke along the jawline hits like a sword slash, motion blur on every pass. Beard disappears strip by strip. Client squeezes his eyes shut. Barber blows the blade. Foam scatters like ash. Sound: razor scrape rhythm, sharp impact tones per stroke.
0:08 to 0:11:
Hot towel tossed mid-air, spins in slow motion, lands and wraps perfectly around the lower face. Barber rips it off in one pull. Smooth jaw, clean cheeks, sharp jawline revealed. Client runs his palm slowly across his own face. Mouth opens. Sound: towel crack, silence beat, smooth ambient tone rising.
0:11 to 0:13:
Pomade worked through the top. Hair locks into a clean slicked urban style. Talc brush strikes the neck. Powder blooms in neon backlight like smoke. Cape ripped off in one snap. Sound: brush tap, powder whoosh, cape rip.
0:13 to 0:15:
Chair kicked. Spins and stops perfectly facing the mirror. Client sees himself. Clean fade, sharp jawline, swept-back hair. Touches his face with both hands. Jaw drops. Barber stands behind, arms crossed. Draws scissors, spins once, snaps shut, returns to holster. One nod. Freeze frame. Sound: final bass hit, record scratch.
Why This Prompt Works So Well
Most AI video prompts are vague. “A barber cutting hair in an anime style” would give you something generic. This prompt works because it’s structured like a storyboard.

Every two to three seconds has its own scene with specific actions, character reactions, and sound cues. The AI knows exactly what happens and when. The style is defined upfront (urban 3D anime), the characters have clear descriptions, and the environment sets the mood before any action starts.
The sound design notes (bass drop, cape snap, razor scrape) also help the AI understand the rhythm and pacing of each shot, even if the output doesn’t include actual audio. The motion follows the beats.
Tips for Customizing
You can change the setting from a barbershop to anything else. A tattoo parlor, a kitchen, a mechanic’s garage. The structure stays the same: define the style, describe two characters, set the environment, then write out the action in timed segments.
Keep the character descriptions specific. “Anime protagonist energy” and “only his eyes move” give the AI clear motion boundaries. Without those details, characters tend to move randomly.
If the full 15 seconds doesn’t generate cleanly in one shot, try splitting it into two or three shorter prompts and stitching the clips together.
