MiniMax H3はこういう動きも綺麗ですね😃 プロンプト↓ -------------- integrated_multimodal_description: [Shot 1] Traditional Japanese sumi ink painting brought to life in the style of the 12th-century handscroll Choju-jinbutsu-giga, in a 16:9 composition. Every element — animals, splatter, streaks, ripples — is painted in black sumi ink on warm off-white handscroll paper with visible fiber texture, drawn with supple brush lines that are thick where the brush lands and taper to a fine point where it lifts, with large areas of bare paper left empty. The entire film is one unbroken take: the camera trucks left continuously from the first frame to the last and never cuts. The hero is a small rabbit whose left ear is folded forward at the base while its right ear stands straight up, noticeably smaller than every other animal, and it appears in every part of the film. All effects are brushed ink — flicked droplets of uneven size, dry-brush streaks with visible bristle gaps, wobbling brushed circles — never particles, never smoke, never 3D fluid, never glowing, never blurred. No color anywhere except the three vermilion moments described below. No Japanese or Chinese characters, no calligraphy, no legible seal script, no subtitles, no watermark, no logo, no Chinese landscape scenery with rocks and pines, no shading, no gradients, no 3D rendering. Open on a fully black frame in silence. A broad white brush slash tears diagonally across it from the upper right to the lower left, and warm off-white paper floods out through the tear until the whole frame is paper, with white droplets spraying from both edges of the tear. A single horizontal ink stroke then draws itself from right to left and becomes the ground, and the folded-ear rabbit bounds in from the right edge along it with both hind feet clear of the ground and both ears streaming behind. The camera trucks left with large amplitude at slow speed. [Shot 2] At 00:02.500, the same unbroken leftward pan carries a river into frame, drawn as four long parallel strokes. A frog kicks up a sheet of water with its hind legs and the spray becomes a dense burst of flicked ink droplets that covers the entire frame before falling away. The folded-ear rabbit turns aside with only its left side darkened by wash where the water struck, while two rabbits on the far bank double over laughing. The camera keeps trucking left with large amplitude at slow speed. [Shot 3] At 00:05.000, with no cut, the pan brings the folded-ear rabbit into frame drawing a bow. It looses the arrow and the bowstring vibrates as a doubled line, the arrow flying wide as one long dry-brush streak that cuts across the frame while fine ink lines radiate outward from its path. The small center of the round target flares vermilion, the first color in the film, as a monkey holding the target points at the rabbit and falls backward. The camera keeps trucking left with large amplitude at slow speed. [Shot 4] At 00:06.500, the leftward pan decelerates until it almost stops, holding on a large frog and the folded-ear rabbit locked in a wrestling grip with a ring of animals frozen around them. Nothing moves except one animal's ear, which twitches once. All ink effects stop and the frame is mostly bare paper. [Shot 5] At 00:07.500, the frog throws the folded-ear rabbit and four things happen at the same instant. The paper and the ink invert, so the ground turns deep solid black and every brush line is left bare white. The entire frame flushes vermilion for a single instant and clears. A large solid vermilion seal, a plain block with an abstract carved pattern and no legible characters, stamps down over the lower left with slightly uneven edges. The camera surges out of its near-stop and trucks left with large amplitude at fast speed while the rabbit hangs upside down at the top of its arc with all four limbs flung open, drawn larger than any figure so far, white dry-brush streaks radiating from it to the frame edges. At 00:08.500, the black field washes back to warm off-white paper and every line returns to dark ink. [Shot 6] At 00:10.000, the pan carries in the folded-ear rabbit back on its feet, holding a lotus leaf over its head like a canopy and throwing its throat back in mock sermon. Concentric brushed ink circles spread outward from its head, each ring wobbling and breaking where the brush lifted. As the rings reach them, four animals sitting at increasing distances topple over one after another, the nearest first and the farthest last, the frog among them. The camera keeps trucking left with large amplitude at fast speed. [Shot 7] At 00:12.500, four animals hoist the folded-ear rabbit onto their shoulders and carry it toward the left edge, the rabbit still rising with one arm thrown out and the rearmost tail cropped by the frame. Behind them every remaining ink mark is drawn into a tight brushed spiral that winds toward a single point and thins as it goes, until the frame is empty warm paper, and at that point the last of the ink turns into a small solid vermilion seal. The camera slows and settles, holding the bare paper and the small seal until exactly 15.000 seconds. overall_soundscape: The film opens in complete silence, broken by one sharp tear of a brush ripping across paper. Water bursts and scatters in heavy droplets, a bowstring snaps and hums, and brush bristles drag across dry paper. Frogs and monkeys let out short calls and bodies thud against packed ground. Between 00:06.500 and 00:07.500 almost all sound drains away to near silence, and a single hardwood clapper strikes sharply at 00:07.500. Ink hisses softly as it soaks into paper at the end. No dialogue. non_diegetic_music: A shinobue bamboo flute and a small kotsuzumi hand drum. Begin slow and sparse, stop completely at 00:06.500, restart at 00:07.500 with fast tight drum strikes, lighten as the flute takes the melody back, and end on one sustained flute note held alone until 15.000 seconds.
