Turning a Blender previz into a Seedance car shot

I wanted to see whether a rough Blender viewport animation could steer the camera in an AI-generated shot. I rendered a previz of a man getting into a car and driving off, made a photoreal golden-hour start frame of a white Toyota bZ4X with Nano Banana, then fed the start frame and the previz into Seedance 2.0.

The camera followed my previz. The human and vehicle physics, meaning the walk, sitting in, the wheels spinning and the drive-off, were all Seedance. The lesson: it will not lock to the previz camera exactly, so the real control lives in the prompt with the previz riding along as a motion reference. Finished at 4K through the Topaz API.

The second clip is the raw Blender viewport previz the shot was built from.
