A 10-second handmade claymation gag: a walrus-moustached lighthouse keeper flips a pancake, a seagull steals it, and he plots revenge. Plasticine with thumbprints, stop-motion jitter and a miniature set. Swap image 1 for your own clay character and set, and rewrite the four shots with your gag; keep the style lines at the top and bottom to hold the clay look.

Handmade stop-motion claymation short, 10 seconds, 16:9. Everything is sculpted plasticine with visible fingerprints, tool marks and slightly lumpy shapes, animated on twos with gentle frame jitter, on a painted miniature set lit by warm tungsten practicals against blue dusk. Image 1 sets the lighthouse keeper, the seagull, the set and the clay look; keep them exactly. Shot 1 (0-3s): Medium shot. The walrus-moustached keeper in his red beanie hums, flips the pancake high off his cast-iron pan and holds the pan out to catch it, eyes closed with pride. Shot 2 (3-5s): Close-up of the round porthole. The clay seagull's head darts in, snatches the pancake out of the air in its beak and vanishes, feathers wobbling. Shot 3 (5-7s): Close-up of the keeper opening his eyes to an empty pan. His moustache droops in slow squash-and-stretch; one eyebrow twitches. Shot 4 (7-10s): Wide shot. He grabs a whisk, stirs a bowl of batter at furious speed, pours three pancakes at once and glares at the window, while outside the seagull lands on the rail with two friends, all three waiting hopefully. Comic timing with clean holds between gags, expressive squash-and-stretch faces, clay pancake steam made from wisps of cotton, sizzling pan, gull squawks and a jaunty accordion. Premium tactile stop-motion, miniature depth of field, no CGI look, no text, no logos.

A 10-second hand-painted 2D action sequence in teal and orange: a courier sprints across a cliffside market town's rooftops, slides a washing line, vaults a bridge and catches a passing balloon in slow motion.

Seedance 2.5
A 10-second lost-reel 1930s black-and-white cartoon: a noodle-limbed baker's dough comes alive and chases him down a bouncing street, ending in an iris-out. Film grain, scratches, flicker and ragtime. Swap image 1 for your own rubber-hose character (draw them in the same vintage style) and rewrite the four gags.
