Ten Percent, give or take.

One of the BEST HACKS I learned for Seedance 2.0 is very much tide to character sheets. Even more so with multiple characters in one shot with specific blocking. I'll get into this more in the 'SALTY' BTS... coming soon.

What’s the point of 4K? Honestly, most people use 4K for those hyper-detailed, slow-mo macro shots. And I get it—they work because they grab attention. But I’m interested in something else: a raw, realistic aesthetic that feels less like a digital file and more like a real film—the kind that forces you to stop and watch, rather than just scroll past. When @capcutapp invited me to try Seedance 2.0 4K, I didn't want to make just another promo ad. I wanted to see if I could push the tech into territory that feels like a real film. I set up a few stress tests to see if this 4K could handle cinematic storytelling: - Dark Environments: Low-light gradients that usually turn to digital mush at lower resolutions. - Vibrant Color: Hyper-saturated schemes that often band and block. - Macro Shots: Using those "attention-grabbing" angles, but giving them a narrative purpose rather than just using them as a gimmick. I channeled the gritty, flashing-light aesthetic of Gaspar Noé for this. (A quick warning: his films are intense—careful.) The result is "Salty." Seedance 2.0 4K handled the mood and the detail better than I expected. Whether you're making films for fun or for a living, it’s a powerful tool for bringing those wilder, cinematic ideas to life. Huge thanks to the team at CapCut for trusting me with early access to Seedance 2.0 4K. Getting to experiment within CapCut Video Studio was a true honor—I really appreciate the creative freedom they gave me for this film.

Hey @nikitabier is there any way to remove this sensitive content flag? There’s no nudity or graphic violence in this piece; just a hilarious scene in a sauna at 1:30.
