A 10-scene Nollywood betrayal short where the twist is one shade of dye.

A complete, ready-to-shoot 9:16 family-betrayal short set at an Igbo burial in south-east Nigeria. A woman flies home for her mother's funeral and is handed the family aso-ebi in the wrong dye lot, a silent public statement that she is not of the blood, until the paper trail shows the accusation was true about her accuser. Ten long-form Seedance prompts, two of them already shot by the seller, each with its own characters, lighting, colour script and sound, locked to one palette: family fuchsia #E5117D, the wrong red #C8102E, gold #F5A800, compound green #00875A, ledger blue #2A55E8 and laterite #8A3B1E.

How to use it
- Built on Seedance 2.0 Mini in Higgsfield: 9:16, 10 seconds, 720p, native audio on, genre Drama. At 2.5 credits per second that is about 25 credits a shot.
- Paste each prompt exactly as written. Every prompt carries its own CHARACTERS block, so it works without reference images.
- For tighter faces, make one still per character from the Anchors, upload it, tag it (@ngozi, @emeka, @chidinma, @ikenna, @child) and shorten that CHARACTERS line to one sentence ending "100% matches the reference".
- Lock the palette: family fuchsia #E5117D, the wrong red #C8102E, gold #F5A800, compound green #00875A, ledger blue #2A55E8, laterite #8A3B1E. The two reds must stay visibly different in every shot, so re-roll any take where they merge.
- Shoot 01 and 04 first (they carry the film), then 09 and 10. Cut in story order and lay narration over scenes 01 to 04.
- On Kling 3.0 (8 second cap), drop the last cut of the multi-cut scenes or split them into two generations.
