Fedor Lyass joins the camera department
A second Seedance DoP, built from a real cinematographer's own account of how he works — and the DoP you cast now shapes the shots themselves. Every agent in the crew has a page of its own.
NewCrew**Fedor Lyass, Director of Photography.** A second DoP on the Seedance pipeline, whose method comes from the cinematographer Fedor Lyass in his own words — his forty-five answers to the studio's cinematographer survey. He arrives without a house style: the scene decides colour and framing, the light is natural by default, the camera goes handheld when a scene is raw, and no shot is made just in case. Pick him for the DoP seat on **Cast your crew**. A new reel still starts on Juno Park.
ImprovedShot list**The DoP you cast now shoots differently.** Until today the choice of DoP changed the video editor and how the agent spoke in the chat, but not the shots. Now the DoP a reel cast breaks every scene into shots in their own manner and writes the Seedance prompts the same way, so two reels with different DoPs come out shot differently. A reel with no DoP cast works as before.
NewCrew**Every agent has a page.** **Profile ↗** beside each seat on **Cast your crew** opens that agent in a new tab: who they are, what the seat does in the studio, their method and rules, and where the method comes from — without losing the choices made so far.
FixedTimeline**The role filter closes when you click away** and opens downwards, instead of covering the Analyze banner.
FixedHelp**The studio tour points at the right thing on every step.** The highlight no longer lingers on the previous step's control, and the steps whose target was missing now find it.
