Claymation Animal Office Before Scene
Goal: Create a whimsical 3D claymation-style office scene showing a chaotic “before” state, with cute anthropomorphic animal employees overwhelmed by paperwork. Canvas: Wide 16:9 horizontal image, cinematic close-up diorama composition, warm indoor lighting, shallow depth of field, soft focus in the background, highly detailed handmade polymer-clay texture. Layout: Place a huge bold headline reading headline_text in the upper-left corner. The headline should be white block letters with a thick black outline, cartoon thumbnail style, occupying about one quarter of the image width. In the center foreground, show the main character walking through the office while carrying an absurdly tall stack of paperwork that partially hides their face. Subject details: The central character is main_character, wearing a white shirt, black pants, and a red tie, looking stressed with wide eyes and an open mouth. They hold a tall vertical stack of beige paper files and loose sheets, with a few pages flying upward at the top. The office is full of small desks, computers, filing cabinets, books, potted plants, sticky notes, bulletin boards, shelves, and scattered documents. Animal workers: Include exactly 14 visible animal characters in the scene: 1 central black hedgehog carrying papers, 1 brown bear seated at a desk on the left, 1 squirrel using a computer in the front-left area, 1 partially visible gray animal at a computer in the extreme foreground left, 1 small orange animal wearing a red tie in the back-left center, 2 tan giraffe-like animals peeking from the rear center, 1 brown animal in a pink shirt near the back center-right, 1 yellow fox-like animal seated at the rear right, 1 brown animal in a yellow shirt working at a desk on the right, 1 gray wolf-like animal at the far right, 1 white rabbit carrying three colorful books near the center-right, 1 owl seated at a front-right desk, and 1 partially visible yellow animal in the extreme foreground right. Environment: The setting is setting with tan plaster walls, a wooden plank floor, warm brown desks, gray filing cabinets, cork boards covered in sticky notes, a wall clock, shelves with binders, and several green potted plants. Use a warm beige, brown, cream, and soft green color palette. Visual style: Toy-like stop-motion miniature, rounded shapes, soft clay surfaces, adorable expressive faces, realistic depth of field, studio-lit, high detail, slightly cinematic lens perspective. Make the scene feel busy and inefficient but charming. Constraints: Keep the word “BEFORE” clearly legible. Do not add any other readable text. Do not include realistic humans. Avoid logos, watermarks, or modern UI overlays.
