Pre-Filled Template

### 1 · Core theme
`first-person animal vlog | handheld selfie POV | natural daylight | synced talking + ambient | charming realism, no uncanny CG fur`

### 2 · Character & scene

**Hero subject (the animal):** [Animal], talking directly to the camera
(lip and jaw move in sync with the speech — natural, not a stiff puppet).
Imperfections that keep it real and the *same* animal across cuts: a bit
of drool at one corner, fur slightly matted on the left ear, a crumb on
the snout, one slightly lazy eye. Expressive, mobile face. Voice:
[Voice].

**Scene:** [Setting]. Real lived-in space — dishes in the sink, a chewed
toy on the floor — not a clean studio. Daylight from a window.

### 3 · Atmosphere & quality
Shot **smartphone-style** — wide ultrawide selfie framing held at
arm's length, slight lens distortion at the edges, the animal's face
close and a little fish-eyed, autofocus hunting just slightly. This is
the deliberate genre break: a vlog wants a *phone camera* look, **not**
a cinema lens. Natural daylight, true colour, minimal grain, the casual
imperfect exposure of real handheld phone video.

### 4 · Camera rules
Selfie POV — the animal (or an unseen owner) holds the camera at arm's
length; framing bobs and re-centres like real handheld vlog footage.
One or two quick cutaways to what it's "talking about" (B-roll).
- *Breathing:* "Handheld shot. Throughout, maintain an extremely subtle,
  breath-like camera float to enhance presence." — here it can be a touch
  more active than usual; real selfie video drifts and re-frames.
- *Sound:* No score. Production / synced audio only — the animal's voice
  ([Voice]) locked to its mouth movements, collar jingle, claws on the
  floor, ambient [Setting] sounds, the occasional off-camera human
  "mm-hm". Dialogue must sync to the lip movement.

### 5 · Storyboard (3 beats, ~10s)

```
0–3s · Cold open / greeting
Action: [Animal] fills the selfie frame, looks straight into lens, and
        launches into [Bit] — talking fast, expressive.
Camera: Arm's-length selfie, slight bob, face close and edge-distorted.
Sound:  Voice in sync from frame one, ambient [Setting] behind.

3–7s · The bit / B-roll
Action: Cutaway to what it's narrating (the food bowl / the "busy"
        schedule), then back to the talking face reacting.
Camera: Quick handheld cutaway, then re-centre on the face.
Sound:  Voice continues over the cutaway, collar jingle, claws on floor.

7–10s · Punchline / sign-off
Action: [Punchline] — the bit collapses; the animal loses the thread.
Camera: Camera tilts / drops as the "host" gives up on the take.
Close:  No big paw-wave goodbye, no on-screen hearts, no subscribe
        graphic. Just the animal flopping down and the frame tilting to
        the ceiling, voice trailing off mid-word.
```

### Negative prompt (Seedance / Kling — paste into the dedicated field)
```
blurry, low resolution, watermark, text overlay, subtitles, logo, distorted face, asymmetric eyes, extra limbs, deformed paws, the animal changing breed or color between shots, uncanny rubbery CG fur, dead glassy eyes, stiff puppet jaw, lip-sync mismatch, oversaturated colors, plastic skin, glossy CG render, video-game look, 3D cartoon render, polished cinematic lighting, frame flicker, ghosting, jarring hard cuts, on-screen emojis, subscribe button overlay
```
