Corrected 2026-08-28: an earlier version of this page called the ring gold and the camera near-locked-off. Both were misread off downscaled preview frames. Verified against the 2K source: the ring is silver and the push-in executes.

The controlled variable

Same method.txt prompt, same bridge-sheet-flat.png reference, same duration and aspect, same platform and credit pool. The only thing changed is the model.

Canon check — MiniMax H3

LockResult
Face identity off the flat sheetPASS — holds across all 5s, no drift
Mouth closed, never speaksPASS — closed every frame
Glasses, beard, silver chain, charcoal suit, open blue collar, no tiePASS
Silver only — no gold on his personPASS — ring and chain both silver (ring specular R254 G248 B236, B/R 0.93 neutral; the gold plate beside it reads B/R 0.63)
Desk lamp is the only light sourceMISS — a cold fluorescent ceiling tube is lit from 0.0s and still in frame at 2.0s, drifting out the top as the camera pushes in
Gentle handheld, 3–6° cant, never settlesPASS on the move — the slow push-in executes (wide at 0.2s, chest-up at 4.8s); the cant is subtler than Seedance's
Bridge Cut grade (charcoal + warm gold key + cold teal)WEAK — cooler and greener, lamp shade dominates
No on-screen textPASS
Detail / resolutionWINS — visibly better skin, beard, paper at 2K
