Make Your Own Version of Popular Movies
You’ve probably seen those clips where a famous movie scene gets reimagined in a completely different art style: the same shot, the same acting, but rendered like a graphic novel, a 1980s anime, or an ancient Greek fresco. It’s not a filter. It’s AI restyling actual footage frame by frame while keeping the original motion and camera work intact.

Seedance 2.5 makes this possible, and Topview‘s Canvas is where you actually run it. Here’s exactly how to do it, plus the three prompts I used to turn Odyssey, Obsession, and Spider-Man into completely different animated versions of themselves.
How to Do It
- Go to Topview.ai and click on Canvas.
- Upload your video clip.
- Select Seedance 2.5 to restyle the video, up to 30 seconds long.
- When writing your prompt, be specific about the art style, the color palette, and the mood. Then hit generate.
The key is matching the style to the mood of the original scene. A tense, high-stakes moment needs a style with dramatic lighting and strong contrast. A quiet emotional beat needs something softer. Canvas makes it easy to test multiple styles quickly since you can generate dozens of clips this way without leaving the same workspace.
The 3 Prompts I Used
1. Odyssey in Arcane-Inspired Ancient Greek Style
For the scene where the main actor is tied to the boat, screaming as the sirens sing, I wanted something that felt mythic and painterly, closer to ancient pottery than a modern animated show.
Prompt: Restyle this video into a stylized 2D/3D hybrid animation in the Arcane art style, fused with ancient Greek pottery and fresco aesthetics. Use painterly brushstroke textures, bold ink outlines, and dramatic chiaroscuro lighting. Color palette: deep terracotta, aged bronze, oxidized teal-green, and stormy ocean blues with foam-white highlights. Keep the camera motion and framing identical to the original clip. Emphasize a mythic, turbulent, high-tension mood matching the intensity of the scene.
2. Obsession in Neon Noir
For the scene where the main actress starts screaming, I wanted something that felt like a psychological thriller: dark, glossy, and unsettling, with neon bleeding through the shadows.
Prompt: Restyle this video into a neon noir dark thriller animation style. High-contrast moody lighting with deep black shadows, striking neon accent colors bleeding through the darkness (electric magenta, cyan, and violet), glossy wet-look surfaces, dramatic hard rim lighting, unsettling atmospheric haze, cinematic horror-thriller mood. Stylized 2D illustrative rendering with sharp graphic linework and bold shadow shapes. Preserve all camera motion and character actions.
3. Spider-Man in Illustrative 2D Comic Style
For the fight scene where he takes a hit and his eyes turn black, I wanted it to feel like an actual comic book panel in motion: bold linework, halftone shading, and impact frames.
Prompt: Restyle this video into a bold 2D illustrative comic-book animation style with dynamic ink outlines, halftone shading, and graphic motion lines to emphasize impact and speed. Color palette: high-contrast red, deep navy blue, black shadows, with pops of bruised purple and yellow for impact highlights. Keep original camera framing and motion. Emphasize kinetic energy, sharp action poses, and dramatic comic-panel style lighting during the fight moment.
Why This Works
Each prompt does three things: names the exact art style, locks in a specific color palette, and tells the AI to preserve the original camera motion and framing. That last part matters most.

Without it, the AI tends to reinterpret the scene instead of just restyling what’s already there. Keeping the original motion is what makes the result feel like the same scene, just repainted.
Try It Yourself
You can generate dozens of clips this way inside Canvas, which makes Topview one of the easiest ways to work with Seedance 2.5 right now. Pick a scene, pick a style that matches its mood, and let it render.
