Cubicle Wizard

{
  "prompt": "An absurd eccentric wizard fast asleep in his bed at night, snoring contentedly in a cozy cluttered tower bedroom. The wizard is whimsical and ridiculous rather than grand - a lanky old figure sprawled on his back half-tangled in the blankets, his long tangled grey beard draped over the quilt and rising and falling with each snore, his tall crooked pointed hat still on his head and flopped sideways over one eye, round crooked spectacles pushed up crooked on his forehead, mouth open mid-snore, both spindly arms flopped out, one hanging off the side of the bed. A little puff of magical sparkles escapes his mouth with each exhale. His gnarled glowing-orb staff leans propped against the footboard at the end of the bed, its orb softly glowing in the dark. The bedroom is a charming magical mess - a four-poster bed with mismatched patched quilts, towering stacks of dusty spellbooks doubling as a nightstand, bubbling potions glowing softly on shelves, a crooked window showing a starry night and a big moon, melted candles, a sleeping cat-like familiar curled at his feet, scrolls and odd trinkets scattered everywhere, cobwebs in the rafters. A soft golden glow from a floating wisp of light drifts near the ceiling like a nightlight. The whole scene is cozy, whimsical, and gently comedic, an eccentric old wizard deep in magical slumber. Hyperrealistic fantasy photography, warm cozy night lighting, whimsical character detail, intricate magical clutter, 8K cinematic render."

Mode: Image-to-video using the attached reference image(s) for character and environment identity. MULTI-SHOT edit. HARD CUTS between shots, no crossfades. Whimsical with a deadpan ironic dream payoff: the magical wizard dreams about a boring office job.

Create a 15-second comedy. A wizard sleeps and breathes magical dust, a dream cloud forms above him, we zoom into it to find he's dreaming of being a mundane office worker, then he jolts awake and goes back to sleep.

Use the attached reference image(s) for identity. Keep the wizard consistent across EVERY shot: an old wizard with a long green-grey beard, round spectacles, a tall floppy pointed hat, asleep in a cozy cluttered candlelit bedroom full of potions, books, a glowing staff, and a small cat sleeping on the floor.

SHOT LIST:

Shot 4 (0:06-0:10) INSIDE THE DREAM Inside the dream: the same wizard, still in his hat and beard, sits slumped in a drab grey office cubicle behind a clunky computer, dead-eyed, clicking a mouse, fluorescent lights humming, a tiny potted plant and coffee mug on the desk. Utterly mundane and soul-crushing. CUT.

Audio: Soft whimsical bedtime music, gentle snoring and magical shimmer as the dust swirls. As we enter the dream, the music sours into dull fluorescent office drone, a humming computer, a sad mouse click, soul-crushing quiet.
