The Deep Sea AI Video prompt and model
Deep Sea AI Video is made with Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier) by ByteDance. The prompt behind it has 5 parts, and the timing is what makes or breaks it.
- Model
- Seedance 2.0 / 2.5 (you pick the tier)
- Mode
- Photo + motion reference to video
- Length
- 5 seconds, 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9
- Input
- 1 photo
- Swap The person in the reference clip is replaced by the person in your photo in every shot, on land, falling and in the water.
- Identity Face, hair, skin tone, build and clothes come from your photo and stay yours when wet, with nothing of the original person left.
- Face shape Your face keeps its own shape even in the close-up at the surface.
- Timing Drop, plunge and the monster's reveal follow the reference clip second by second.
- Rules One person, the monster never touches you, no blood, text or logos, silent render with the sound added after.
Replace the young woman with long brown hair and a black long-sleeved top in Video 1 with the person from Image 1, in every shot.…
Why it goes wrong when you do it yourself
- Without a reference clip, most models put you underwater from the first frame and lose the drop out of the photo, which is the joke.
- If the prompt only borrows the motion, the woman from the reference clip can stay in the water wearing your clothes.
- Wet hair and water on the face are where likeness slips: models tend to swap in a generic face once you are under.
- Asked for a "sea monster", some models make it bite or grab, which gets the render blocked or turns it into gore.

What is the Deep Sea AI Video trend?
Updated · videosi is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, or with the owners of any trend, song, game or brand named on its pages.
The deep sea AI video is a short photo effect: a still photo of someone suddenly gives way, they fall into dark blue water, and when they come up a giant sea monster with glowing eyes is rising right behind them. The whole thing lasts about five seconds and is played for a jump scare that turns into a grin.
It started as one of TikTok's own AI photo effects. The earliest posts we found are dated 27–29 March 2026, from creators trying effects listed as "Deep Sea Horror POV" and "Deep Sea Drawn" (in Indonesian, "Ditarik laut dalam", pulled into the deep sea). Those test posts had a few thousand views each. The name "deep sea" is also shared with a separate, much bigger wave of AI found-footage clips of megalodons and sea monsters with no person in them, which pushed searches for "deep sea AI". Our trend tracker first picked the effect up on 16 October 2026 and marked it as past its peak on 27 October 2026.
There is no single song: each post carries its own sound, usually a dark ambient or horror track.
The videosi version keeps the 5-second shot of the original effect, the drop, the bubbles and the monster, and makes the person in it you, with your own face, hair and clothes. The video comes with the reference clip's original sound.
Deep Sea AI Video: shot by shot
- 0–1 s
Your photo
You stand smiling in front of a plain wall, like an ordinary photo.
- 1–2 s
The drop
The ground gives way and you fall face-first toward deep blue water.
- 2–3 s
Under
You plunge under in a burst of bubbles while a huge shadow moves below.
- 3–5 s
It's behind you
You surface facing the camera, startled then grinning, as a giant sea monster with glowing yellow eyes looms behind you.
Tips for a better result
Show your face clearly
The last seconds are a close-up of your face at the surface. A sharp, front-facing photo keeps it looking like you.
Smile in the photo
The clip starts on your photo pose; a relaxed smile makes the switch to the scare land better.
One person per photo
Only one person falls in. Crop out friends so faces do not merge.
Skip sunglasses and hats
They slip or vanish when you go under, and the model may guess your eyes and hair.
Good to know before you make a Deep Sea AI Video video
- Your photo supplies you only. The fall, the water and the sea monster come from the reference clip, so the monster looks the same in every video.
- The first second shows you in front of a plain white wall from the reference clip, not the background of your own photo.
- Likeness is not guaranteed, especially with wet hair at the surface. This page has not been test-rendered.
- The video comes with the reference clip's original sound. A failed, timed-out or blocked render returns its credits automatically.
