  "prompt": "An absurd creature in martial arts gear standing in a fighting stance in a traditional dojo. The creature is a fresh design - a stout barrel-shaped body covered in short rust-red fur with a cream-colored chest patch, two thick sturdy legs, two short arms that are comically too short to reach anything, and a thick tapered tail braced against the floor for balance. It has a wide blunt head with four small eyes arranged in a square, all narrowed in fierce concentration, a broad flat nose, a wide mouth set in a determined grimace showing a row of flat teeth, two small rounded ears pinned back, and three stubby horns in a row along the top of its head. It wears a crisp white martial arts gi, the sleeves and legs hemmed short to fit its odd proportions, tied with a worn black belt, and a folded headband knotted around its brow. It plants itself in a low wide stance, weight settled, one stubby arm extended in a guard and the other cocked back, utterly serious despite the ridiculous reach of its arms. The dojo is traditional and calm - a polished wooden floor reflecting soft light, tatami mats along one side, a shoji screen wall glowing with diffused daylight, a wooden weapons rack with staffs and practice swords, a hanging scroll with brushed calligraphy, a small shrine alcove, a heavy bag in a corner. Quiet dust motes drift in the light. Comedic, dignified, and endearing, one creature taking its training extremely seriously. Hyperrealistic photography, traditional dojo, absurd creature design, soft natural light, 8K cinematic render."

CONSISTENCY RULE: the same creature and the same dojo stay identical in EVERY shot.
EYE RULE: the creature has FOUR eyes on its face, two upper eyes and two lower eyes set in pairs. All FOUR are clearly visible and open in EVERY shot, keeping their normal round shape. Never two eyes.
CONCEPT: A creature performs the opening half of the Shotokan kata Heian Shodan with slow, precise, disciplined control. Played completely straight and serious.
CHARACTER (identical every shot): a stocky round creature with dark purple and orange fur, a cream belly, three small horns on its head, FOUR eyes in two pairs (two upper, two lower), small ears, a long tail, a fierce determined scowl, wearing a white karate gi with a black belt and a white headband.
SETTING: a traditional wooden dojo, tatami floor, shoji screens, a calligraphy scroll, a weapon rack, a heavy bag, a small shrine.
SHOTS:
1 (0:00-0:03) WIDE: The creature stands at attention, heels together and toes out, and performs a slow formal standing bow from the waist, arms at its sides. HARD CUT.
2 (0:03-0:05.5) MEDIUM: It rises and steps into the ready stance, left foot out then right, feet shoulder width, fists closing down in front of its thighs. It holds, breathing, focused. HARD CUT.
3 (0:05.5-0:08) LOW ANGLE: It turns sharply left into a deep front stance, sweeping a slow powerful downward block across its body, tail counterbalancing. HARD CUT.
4 (0:08-0:10.5) SIDE, tracking: It steps forward into front stance and drives a slow controlled lunge punch straight out, hips rotating, the other fist snapping back to its hip. HARD CUT.
5 (0:10.5-0:12.5) MEDIUM: It pivots, drops into front stance, and delivers a deliberate hammer fist strike downward, gi sleeve snapping. HARD CUT.
6 (0:12.5-0:15) LOW ANGLE, THE FINAL FRAME: The creature freezes at the peak of a rising block, forward arm angled up across its forehead, rear fist at its hip, deep in front stance, all four eyes locked in a fierce scowl, tail straight out behind. Hold on this exact frame.
AUDIO: quiet meditative dojo ambience, soft wind, a single low taiko drum. The snap of the gi on each technique, controlled sharp exhales, bare feet on tatami. Slow deliberate pacing. Music and sound effects only. NO DIALOGUE. No subtitles.
STYLE: bold painterly illustration matching the reference every shot, thick brushwork, hand-painted look, saturated dojo palette, expressive face, serious disciplined tone.

PART 2 OF 2. Second half, continuing from Part 1.
OPENING FRAME: BEGINS on the exact final frame of Part 1: the creature frozen at the peak of a rising block, forward arm angled up across its forehead, rear fist at its hip, deep front stance, tail straight out behind.

EYE RULE: the creature has FOUR eyes, two upper and two lower in pairs. All FOUR clearly visible and open in EVERY shot, normal round shape. Never two eyes.
CONCEPT: The creature finishes the kata Heian Shodan with total discipline, bows formally, then throws one last punch at camera and flicks up a middle finger with a grin. The joke is the switch from solemn martial artist to cheeky brat.
CHARACTER (identical every shot): a stocky round creature, dark purple and orange fur, cream belly, three small horns, FOUR eyes in two pairs (two upper, two lower), small ears, long tail, white karate gi, black belt, white headband.
SETTING: a traditional wooden dojo, tatami floor, shoji screens, a calligraphy scroll, a heavy bag. No swords or weapon racks.
SHOTS:
1 (0:00-0:02.5) LOW ANGLE, MATCHING THE PART 1 FINAL FRAME: it holds the rising block, then snaps a final rising block with a sharp shout of effort. HARD CUT.
2 (0:02.5-0:05.5) SIDE, tracking: It pivots into front stance and drives three slow lunge punches forward, one per step, the last snapping with a hard burst of power. HARD CUT.
3 (0:05.5-0:08) MEDIUM: It steps back at 45 degrees into a deep back stance, weight on the rear leg, and executes a slow precise knife hand block, blade-edge out. HARD CUT.
4 (0:08-0:10.5) OPPOSITE SIDE: It turns and repeats the knife hand block in back stance on the other side, controlled, holding the finish. HARD CUT.
5 (0:10.5-0:12.5) WIDE: It draws its feet back to the ready stance, brings its heels together, and performs a slow formal closing bow. HARD CUT.
6 (0:12.5-0:15) MEDIUM, straight on from the front: The creature straightens, then snaps one last punch straight toward camera and holds the arm extended, fist closed. A beat. Then the middle finger flicks up out of that fist as all four eyes crinkle into a big cheeky grin. Hold.
AUDIO: quiet dojo ambience, a low taiko drum. Gi snapping on each technique, two sharp shouts of effort on the final rising block and final punch, bare feet on tatami. After the bow, a beat, a sharp punch snap, then a cheeky comedic sting on the finger flick. Music and sound effects only. NO DIALOGUE. No subtitles.
STYLE: bold painterly illustration matching the reference every shot, thick brushwork, hand-painted look, saturated dojo palette, disciplined tone turning cheeky.
NEGATIVE: style change between shots, one continuous shot, single take, smooth motion across cuts, crossfades, dissolves, two eyes, three eyes, changed eye count, swords, katana, weapon rack, weapons, changing creature, changing colors, missing horns, missing headband, deformed face, blurry face, second creature, duplicate creature, anime, 3D render, CGI, photorealism, sloppy movement, dialogue, talking, captions, subtitles, on-screen text
