Sad Clawd and a birthday gift
Make a vertical 12-second cartoon about Clawd in a party hat: watercolor and ink, lively "boiling" hand-drawn animation, expressive emotional acting. Logline: Clawd is sad and alone, receives an unexpected gift, and turns sadness into a celebration. Shot 1 (about 6 s), a room: Clawd is alone, sad, wearing the hat. A gift slides in on its own from the right. Clawd is surprised, an idea light bulb lights up above his head, he runs to the gift and lifts it over his head. Transition: a brush stroke in pink-purple tones. Shot 2 (about 6 s), a spotlight stage: the gift is lowered, the lid flips open, hearts fly out of it, Clawd jumps and dances joyfully. At the end the text "Happy Birthday" is written with a brush (replace with your own). Color: from the muted cool tones of the room to warm pink-gold on the stage. Emotions in order: sadness, surprise, idea, joy. Sound: a quiet sad music box at the start, the rustle of the gift sliding across the floor, a short "beep" of surprise, a cheerful chime on the idea, the sound of a brush on the transition, before the gift opens the music fades and then swells, then a pop, a cymbal crash and a cheerful dance theme with the first heart, and on the final text bells and a soft fade-out.
