30-second animated dog comedy, playful curiosity escalating into a mistaken accusation, 7 readable shots, expressive natural canine movement, clear cause-and-effect action, no slow motion. REFERENCE INPUTS @SHIBA_REFERENCE = One slightly chubby adult Shiba Inu with orange-red fur, a cream muzzle, cream chest and belly, triangular upright ears, round dark-brown eyes, a black nose, compact legs, and a thick curled tail. No clothing or accessories. Full-body reference showing all four paws and the curled tail. @PUPPY_REFERENCE = One tiny cream-colored puppy, less than half the Shiba’s size, with soft fluffy fur, floppy ears, short legs, dark round eyes, a small black nose, and a short fluffy tail. No clothing or accessories. Full-body reference. @ROOM_REFERENCE = A cozy living room with warm daylight, pale wooden flooring, a beige sofa at the back, an open doorway on the right, and one tall rectangular mirror in a rounded wooden frame secured upright on a stable floor stand on the left. Clear space beside and behind the mirror allows a dog to walk around it. Match both dog references’ visual style. @COOKIE_REFERENCE = One small round golden-brown biscuit with a slightly rough surface and three tiny holes, small enough for either dog to carry. STRICT REFERENCE LOCK Preserve the exact designs and proportions from @SHIBA_REFERENCE and @PUPPY_REFERENCE. Use @ROOM_REFERENCE for the entire setting and @COOKIE_REFERENCE for the same biscuit throughout. Exactly ONE adult Shiba, ONE puppy, ONE physical biscuit, and ONE mirror. The Shiba’s reflection is an optically correct reflection, never a separate character. Reflected movements and reflected objects match the real scene without delay. ENVIRONMENT LOCK The Shiba starts walking from the right doorway toward the mirror on the left. The puppy later enters through the same doorway. The mirror remains fixed. The biscuit is placed on the floor in front of the mirror and stays there until the puppy takes it. GLOBAL CONTINUITY LOCK The biscuit moves from the Shiba’s mouth to the floor, then into the puppy’s mouth. It never duplicates or returns to the Shiba. When the Shiba walks behind the mirror, its reflection naturally disappears. The puppy remains a real dog outside the mirror. No character passes through the glass. SHOT 1 — 0–4s | AN UNEXPECTED RIVAL The Shiba trots across the living room carrying the biscuit, its curled tail bouncing slightly. It notices its reflection in the mirror → abruptly plants all four paws → turns its head toward the reflected dog holding an identical-looking biscuit. SHOT 2 — 4–8s | SUSPICIOUS IMITATION The Shiba tilts its head left, then slowly right, keeping the biscuit between its teeth. Its reflection precisely follows. The Shiba widens its stance and leans forward, ears pointing sharply toward the glass. SHOT 3 — 8–12s | HIDE THE PRIZE The Shiba lowers its head and places the biscuit on the floor between its front paws. It slides one front paw over the biscuit to hide it, then peers around the near edge of the mirror. Its nose leads, followed by its shoulders, as it searches behind the frame. SHOT 4 — 12–16s | NOBODY THERE The Shiba steps behind the mirror, finds an empty space, then immediately walks back around the same edge. Seeing its reflection return, it freezes with one front paw raised. The biscuit remains untouched on the floor where it was left. SHOT 5 — 16–21s | THE REAL THIEF The Shiba approaches the glass, leaving the biscuit just behind its front paws, and presses its nose against its reflected nose with a low, comically serious grumble. Meanwhile, the tiny cream-colored puppy with floppy ears enters through the right doorway, spots the biscuit, and quietly approaches from behind the Shiba. SHOT 6 — 21–25s | CLEAN GETAWAY The puppy lowers its muzzle, gently picks up the biscuit, and trots back toward the doorway. The Shiba remains focused on the mirror until it hears the puppy’s tiny footsteps. It glances down → discovers the empty floor → quickly looks back at the reflected dog, whose paws are also empty. SHOT 7 — 25–30s | WRONG SUSPECT The Shiba darts around the mirror again, convinced the reflected rival has hidden the biscuit behind it. Its curled tail disappears behind the wooden frame while the puppy sits near the doorway, holding the stolen biscuit between its front paws and taking a small satisfied bite. End with the Shiba poking its confused face out from behind the mirror. AUDIO Soft indoor ambience, light pawsteps on wood, a quiet biscuit tap when placed on the floor, one low playful grumble, quick scuffling footsteps, and a small biscuit crunch at the end. No dialogue, no narration, no music, no on-screen text.
