How do I keep pilots and mechs consistent across a mecha anime?

Create separate character sheets for each pilot and each mech. Save them to your library, then @-tag pilots and attach mech reference images in every storyboard prompt. Consistency comes from reusing the same sheets, not from re-describing designs in each generation.

Do I need a character sheet for the mech itself?

Yes. Mechs drift as easily as human characters when you describe them from scratch each time. A mech character sheet with front, side, back, and head detail views locks silhouette, color blocking, and sensor lighting across hangar, cockpit, and combat shots.

How do I plan a mecha action sequence before animating?

Work backward from the payoff. If you want a crash landing, storyboard the damaged mech still first, then the hit that caused it, then the cockpit tension before launch. Each approved still becomes one Seedance 2 clip with a single clear motion.

Can I animate cockpit scenes and mech combat with Seedance 2?

Yes. Generate cockpit interiors and exterior combat stills in the storyboard tool, then run image-to-video with focused motion prompts: hands on controls, hatch closing, mech rotating in flight. One action per clip keeps motion clean and designs stable.

Can two different mechs fight in the same scene?

Yes. Lock both mech character sheets and both pilot sheets, then compose a still with both machines in frame. Animate exchange sequences by chaining clips: evasive roll, muzzle flash, impact smoke. Each clip inherits the locked references from your library.
