Red Rising Teaser: Book Passage to Trailer With Luma's Agent and Seedance 2.0
PJ Ace breaks down how he turned a 20-minute audiobook scene from Red Rising into a 3-minute fan teaser in under a week, with prompts at each step. He used Luma's agent for scripting help, character looks and 2x2 image grids, then animated the chosen frames in Seedance 2.0; the thread was posted on Luma agent's launch day and promotes it.
Key points
- Condense the book passage with an LLM into a script and shot list of essential dialogue
- Generate many 2x2 grids per scene so characters and location stay consistent inside one frame
- Reuse the best 'core shots' as references for later scenes, then crop and upscale in batches
- Nano Banana Pro at 2K keeps more film grain than 4K, in his experience
- Let reference images do the heavy lifting in Seedance and keep prompts short
- Group the canvas by scene and sub-scene to stay organised
