Summer Heat

{
  "prompt": "An absurd eccentric wizard slumped in a chair outside his little forest hut, wilting in extreme sweltering heat. This is a fresh wizard design, whimsical and ridiculous rather than grand - lanky and long-limbed, sprawled bonelessly in a rickety wooden chair with his gangly legs splayed out, utterly melted by the heat. He has a long droopy face, a big rounded nose, sleepy half-melted eyes, a scraggly grey beard that hangs limp and damp, enormous bushy eyebrows drooping with sweat, and thin wispy hair plastered to his forehead. His tall pointed hat has flopped over completely and droops sideways, wilted. He has stripped down to a loose sweat-soaked undershirt and rolled-up robe with the sleeves shoved up, his heavy outer robe discarded on the ground, and he fans himself weakly with a folded map, tongue lolling out, a puddle of sweat beneath the chair. His glowing staff leans forgotten against the hut wall. The forest hut behind him is a charming crooked little cottage - a lopsided timber-and-thatch hut with a round door, herbs and lanterns hanging, all shimmering in the heat haze. The forest around is parched and baking - trees drooping with wilted leaves, dry cracked ground, a sun blazing enormous and white in a hazy sky, waves of visible heat distortion rippling the air, a dried-up birdbath, a lizard sunbathing on a rock. Harsh bright midday light. The whole scene is comedic, sweaty, and endearing, an absurd wizard utterly defeated by a heatwave outside his hut. Hyperrealistic fantasy photography, whimsical character detail, sweltering forest, harsh heat-haze lighting, 8K cinematic render."

Mode: Image-to-video using the attached reference for character and environment identity, and ART STYLE. Match the reference's painterly look every shot. MULTI-SHOT edit of SEPARATE CLIPS joined by HARD CUTS, not one continuous take. Each shot has its own framing and camera angle that CHANGE at every cut. Deadpan comedy: a wizard melting in the heat conjures a personal snow spell to cool off. CONSISTENCY RULE: the same forest hut, chair, staff, and wizard stay identical in EVERY shot, only the wizard's position and the weather effect change. Create a 15-second comedy. A wizard wilts in brutal heat outside his hut, walks to his glowing staff by the door, casts a spell that makes snow fall on himself, then walks back to relax in his chair, blissfully cool. Use the attached reference for identity. Keep the wizard consistent EVERY shot: a lanky wizard with round tired eyes, a big red nose, a lolling tongue, a scraggly grey beard, a floppy orange-and-purple pointed hat, and a yellow tank top, outside a cozy mossy forest hut, a wooden chair out front and a magic staff with a glowing orb leaning by the hut door. SHOTS: 1 (0:00-0:03) WIDE The wizard slumps melting in his chair in blazing heat, sweat pouring off him, tongue lolling, wilting, utterly miserable in the sweltering sun. HARD CUT. 2 (0:03-0:06) MEDIUM, side angle Fed up, the wizard drags himself up out of the chair and trudges wearily across to his glowing staff leaning by the hut door. HARD CUT. 3 (0:06-0:09) MEDIUM He grabs the staff, raises it overhead, and its orb flares bright as he casts a spell with a determined little grin. HARD CUT. 4 (0:09-0:11) MEDIUM, on the wizard A small snow cloud POOFS into being right above the wizard's head and begins snowing gently down onto him alone, snowflakes settling on his hat and shoulders. His face melts into blissful relief. He leans the staff back against the hut door exactly where it was. HARD CUT. 5 (0:11-0:13) WIDE Leaving the staff resting by the hut door where he found it, the wizard strolls contentedly back to his chair a bit away from the hut, his own personal snow cloud following above him, snow trailing over just him. HARD CUT. 6 (0:13-0:15) WIDE He flops back into the chair, the snow cloud drizzling snow over him, sighing with pure cool contentment while the rest of the scene still bakes in heat. Hold. Audio: sweltering cicada-buzz heat ambience and a miserable groan, shuffling footsteps to the staff, a bright magical shimmer as the spell casts, a soft POOF and gentle snowfall twinkle, then a long relieved happy sigh over cheerful mellow music.
