Dealing with keyboard warriors.
{
"prompt": "A tall absurd creature folded awkwardly into a small desk chair at a computer desk, scrolling social media on the screen. The creature is gloriously ridiculous and a fresh design - a very tall gangly body covered in soft dusty-rose fuzz, so long-limbed and lanky that it has to hunch way down and fold its knees up high to reach the desk, its elbows jutting out awkwardly. It has a long slender neck curving down toward the monitor, a small narrow head with two big droopy eyes at different heights, a tiny slit mouth pursed in bored absent-minded scrolling, two long floppy ears that hang down past its shoulders, a single antenna that flops forward over its face, and long spindly fingers, one draped over the mouse lazily scrolling, chin propped on its other bony hand. Its expression is glazed, mildly amused, mindlessly doom-scrolling. The monitor glows with a colorful social media feed of scrolling posts and images. The desk is cluttered and cozy - a keyboard, a mug of cold tea, sticky notes, a small potted plant, tangled cables, a desk lamp, a phone lying face-up also showing a feed. The room is a dim cozy home office at night, the monitor and phone the main light sources casting a soft glow on the creature's face, a window showing a dark evening behind it. The whole scene is comedic, relatable, and endearing, one oversized creature slouched and lost in an endless scroll. Hyperrealistic whimsical photography, dim home office, absurd creature design, moody screen-lit lighting, 8K cinematic render."

Mode: Image-to-video using the attached reference image(s) for character and environment identity, and ART STYLE. Match the reference's painterly look in EVERY shot. MULTI-SHOT edit. HARD CUTS between shots, no crossfades. Deadpan comedy: a creature calmly blocks angry commenters without a care, then beams when an "Invoice Paid" email arrives, revealing it does this for money. Create a 15-second comedy. A tired creature scrolls social media, unbothered as it blocks a stream of angry commenters, then smiles warmly when it gets an "Invoice Paid" email. Use the attached reference image(s) for identity. Keep the creature consistent across EVERY shot: a tall lanky pink-furred creature with a long droopy-eared green face, a stubby antenna, big tired half-lidded eyes, folded awkwardly into a small chair at a cluttered computer desk with a monitor, keyboard, mouse, phone, and mug, in a cozy dim room. SHOT LIST: Shot 1 (0:00-0:03) MEDIUM The creature slouches at its desk, chin propped on one hand, lazily scrolling social media with the mouse, big tired eyes half-lidded, utterly relaxed and bored. CUT. Shot 2 (0:03-0:06) CLOSE, the screen reactions Angry comments and furious emoji pop up on the glowing screen, one after another. The creature stays completely unbothered, blinking slowly at them. CUT. Shot 3 (0:06-0:09) MEDIUM With a calm, almost bored flick of the mouse, the creature clicks BLOCK on commenter after commenter, methodically, not a flicker of emotion, deadpan and serene. CUT. Shot 4 (0:09-0:11) CLOSE More rage floods in on the screen; the creature gives a tiny unbothered shrug and keeps calmly blocking, sipping from its mug, totally at peace. CUT. Shot 5 (0:11-0:13) CLOSE, the email An email notification slides onto the screen reading "Invoice Paid" in clear letters. The creature's tired eyes light up. CUT. Shot 6 (0:13-0:15) MEDIUM The creature breaks into a big warm genuine smile, sitting up a little, delighted, the anger on screen no longer mattering at all now that it has been paid. Hold. Audio: Chill lo-fi background music with soft keyboard clicks and mouse clicks throughout. Little comedic angry-notification blips as the rage comes in, calm steady blocking clicks, a content sip. Then a bright cheerful email chime, and the music lifting warmly as it smiles. No dialogue. No subtitles. Style: Bold painterly illustration matching the reference in EVERY shot, thick visible brushwork, hand-painted look, rich saturated dim-room palette, expressive cartoon face, deadpan comedic tone, film-quality animation. Negative Prompt: style change between shots, anime, 3D render, CGI, photorealism, scary mood, gore, second creature, duplicate creature, changed colors, missing antenna, missing ears, deformed face, deformed hands, blurry face, crossfades, dissolves, smooth transitions, garbled email text, misspelled text, subtitles
I tried forcing text onto the screen in the prompt but it worked better to simply leave it simple.
