The exact two prompts behind the paper dragon island post: one image with Nano Banana 2, one video with Seedance 2.0, plus the reverse trick that makes the scene build itself piece by piece.
Paste the prompt below into Nano Banana 2 (on fal.ai or Replicate), aspect ratio 16:9. Swap the dragon for anything: a castle, a pirate ship, your product. Keep the words paper grain, scissor-cut edges, drop shadows between layers. That is what makes it look handmade.

Animate it with Seedance 2.0
Feed the finished image into Seedance 2.0 image-to-video and ask for the OPPOSITE of what you want: "Stop-motion papercraft disassembly, starting exactly from the reference image: piece by piece the paper elements gently unfold, flatten and fly away off-screen, until only the open empty storybook remains. Camera locked, no morphing, no text." 10 seconds, 720p.

Reverse it — that is the magic
Falling apart is easy for AI; building up perfectly is hard. So you generate the collapse and play it backwards. The scene now assembles itself and lands EXACTLY on your image, piece by piece. One ffmpeg line: ffmpeg -i in.mp4 -vf reverse out.mp4
The exact Nano Banana 2 image prompt (copy it)
Handcrafted layered papercraft diorama rising from an open storybook, pop-up book style: a majestic paper dragon with spread folded-paper wings perched on a mountain of golden paper treasure coins, a paper lighthouse with a tiny glowing window on a cliff with a layered paper waterfall, paper palm trees, a small paper sailing ship on scalloped layered ocean waves, warm sunset sun rays fanning out behind the mountain, tiny paper birds in the sky, visible paper grain and scissor-cut edges, soft studio lighting, gentle drop shadows between the paper layers, rich warm palette of coral orange, teal, cream and gold, ultra detailed macro craft photography. No text, no words, no watermarks.
