Morning Struggle

{
  "prompt": "A small absurd creature fast asleep in bed in a very dark bedroom in the middle of the night. The creature is gloriously ridiculous and a fresh design - a squat pear-shaped body covered in short bristly moss-green fur with faint cream speckles, stubby limbs, and a thick stumpy tail curled around itself. It has a broad flat face with three small eyes in a row all squeezed shut in deep sleep, a wide flat snout, a wide mouth hanging slightly open with two blunt tusks poking up from its lower jaw, four tiny nubby horns along the top of its head, and two large paddle-shaped ears splayed flat across the pillow. A faint snore bubble drifts from its snout. It is sprawled on its back, all four stubby limbs flopped out, one paw resting on its round belly, the blanket kicked half off, snoring deeply and utterly out cold. The bed is cozy and creature-sized with a rumpled blanket and squashed pillow. The room is very dark - almost entirely in deep shadow, heavy darkness swallowing the corners, no lamps on, only a thin sliver of pale moonlight slipping through a gap in the curtains to catch the edge of the creature and the bed, everything else dim silhouettes barely visible in near-blackness, a nightstand and a door only faint shapes in the gloom. Deep blue-black night tones, minimal light, moody and hushed. The whole scene is cozy, peaceful, and endearing, one little creature sound asleep in a pitch-dark room. Hyperrealistic whimsical photography, sound asleep in a very dark bedroom, absurd creature design, low-key moonlit night lighting, 8K cinematic render."

Mode: Image-to-video using the attached reference for identity and ART STYLE. Match the reference's painterly look in EVERY shot. MULTI-SHOT edit of SEPARATE CLIPS joined by HARD CUTS, NOT one continuous take. Each shot has its own camera angle and size, changing at every cut. No smooth motion across cuts. Each shot is a separate moment of the same morning, minutes passing between them. DIALOGUE RULE: NO DIALOGUE. No talking, speech, lip-syncing, speech bubbles, or captions. Purely visual, music and sound effects only. CONSISTENCY RULE: the same creature and the same home stay identical in EVERY shot. Only framing, location, and action change. CONCEPT: Deadpan comedy. A barely-conscious creature stumbles through its morning routine, fumbling every single step, still yawning by the time it gets in the car. The joke is that it never actually wakes up. CHARACTER (identical every shot): a chubby green fuzzy creature with big floppy ears, small stubby horns, two protruding tusks, THREE eyes set in a horizontal row across its face, all three with heavy droopy sleepy eyelids, and stubby clawed paws. Permanently half-asleep, eyes never fully open. EYE RULE: all THREE eyes are present in EVERY shot, in the same horizontal row, keeping their normal shape. Never two eyes. SETTING: a dim cluttered little home at dawn, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, then a driveway outside. SHOTS: 1 (0:00-0:03) MEDIUM, bedroom: The creature lies sprawled on its back in bed, snoring with its mouth wide open. All three of its eyes crack halfway open, it slowly sits up, sways, and blinks blearily into nothing. HARD CUT. 2 (0:03-0:06) MEDIUM, kitchen: Slumped at the table, it tries to eat cereal but keeps missing its mouth entirely, spoon bumping its cheek and chin, milk dribbling down its chest. It does not notice. HARD CUT. 3 (0:06-0:09) CLOSE, bathroom: At the mirror it brushes its teeth clumsily, jabbing the brush past its tusks, scrubbing its own nose and cheek instead, foam smeared across its face. All three of its eyes droop shut mid-brush. HARD CUT. 4 (0:09-0:11.5) MEDIUM, living room: It shuffles around patting couch cushions and lifting things, hunting for its car keys, groggy and confused. It finds them, then stares at them blankly with all three eyes. HARD CUT. 5 (0:11.5-0:13.5) WIDE, driveway: Outside in pale dawn light, it shuffles to a little car, fumbles the door, and folds itself awkwardly into the driver's seat. HARD CUT. 6 (0:13.5-0:15) CLOSE, in the car: Behind the wheel it opens its mouth in one more enormous jaw-cracking yawn, all three eyes squeezed shut, still completely asleep. Hold. AUDIO: soft sleepy dawn music, birds outside, loud snoring at the start. Clinking spoon and dribbling milk, clumsy toothbrush scrubbing, rummaging through cushions, jingling keys, shuffling feet, a car door thunk. Big drawn-out yawns throughout, one final enormous yawn at the end. Music and sound effects only. NO DIALOGUE. No subtitles. STYLE: bold painterly illustration matching the reference in EVERY shot, thick brushwork, hand-painted look, dim saturated dawn palette, expressive cartoon face, deadpan. NEGATIVE: two eyes, only two eyes, missing third eye, four eyes, changed eye count, fully awake creature, alert eyes, wide open eyes, dialogue, talking, speech, captions, subtitles, on-screen text, one continuous shot, single take, smooth motion across cuts, crossfades, dissolves, changing creature, changing colors, missing tusks, missing ears, missing horns, style change between shots, anime, 3D render, CGI, photorealism, deformed face, deformed paws, blurry face, second creature, duplicate creature
