Prompt

Create a high-quality cinematic 3D animated short film featuring adorable, stylized baby otter-like woodland creatures in a beautiful sunny meadow. Scene 1: A cute brown baby otter stands in a lush green meadow, happily holding a large shiny blue berry with both paws. It has soft brown fur, a round chubby body, huge glossy black eyes, rosy cheeks, and a tiny dark scarf around its neck. The character looks innocent and curious. Warm morning sunlight, soft grass, rolling green hills, tall trees, blue sky, cinematic depth of field. Scene 2: The blue berry slips from the otter's paws and rolls quickly down a gentle grassy slope. The little brown otter runs after it, trying desperately to catch it. The camera follows the rolling berry with a smooth dynamic tracking shot while the otter runs behind it. Scene 3: The berry rolls toward a large hollow fallen tree trunk lying in the meadow and stops near its entrance. The brown otter reaches the tree and looks around curiously, wondering where the berry went. Scene 4: The camera moves upward through the surrounding trees toward the bright sunlight shining through the leaves. A magical, peaceful atmosphere fills the scene with glowing sun rays, floating dust particles, and gentle wind moving the leaves. Scene 5: A second adorable baby otter appears — smaller and gray-colored, with soft gray fur, a round chubby body, huge expressive black eyes, rosy cheeks, and an innocent expression. It comes out near the fallen tree and notices the brown otter. Scene 6: The gray otter and brown otter interact playfully near the hollow tree. They look at each other with curiosity and surprise, then move around the tree together. Keep their character designs consistent throughout the entire video. Scene 7: The gray otter climbs onto a nearby tree branch and looks around. The camera follows from behind and slightly below, showing the bright green forest canopy and warm sunlight filtering through the leaves. Scene 8: The gray otter rests against a large moss-covered rock, looking sleepy and exhausted. Its eyes become heavy as it relaxes in the warm sunlight. Scene 9: The gray otter suddenly notices the shiny blue berry again. The camera cuts to a close-up as it happily picks up the berry with both paws. Its huge eyes sparkle with excitement. Scene 10: The gray otter proudly holds the blue berry close to its face and smiles innocently. The brown otter approaches from behind. Final scene: The brown otter gently jumps onto the gray otter in a playful, affectionate hug. They tumble softly onto the grass together beside the blue berry, laughing and cuddling. Tiny glowing sparkles appear around them as they lie peacefully in the meadow.

Make it yours

  • Eleven scenes cannot all fit in Seedance 2.0's 15 seconds; keep scenes 1, 2, 3, 9 and the final hug and delete the rest.
  • Keep the sentence 'keep their character designs consistent' and repeat the fur colors; this prevents the two otters from swapping looks.
  • Name the berry's color in every scene you keep, because it is the thread the model uses to connect shots.
