The best spritesheet animation I've ever seen!!

A reddit user found a dead simple prompt for H3 to generate 2d game ready animations 

Prompt:

```integrated_multimodal_description:

A cute round spherical dragon, dragon's head and body is one round piece, small little 4 legs, thick short tail, angry expression, he is standing on all his 4 legs, big cute eyes, big cute mouth, dragon is pink, cute little black wings, dragon have no arms, only 4 legs, dragon have cute little black horns.

[0s] - Sitting idle animation:

He sits on his butt and looks around, then a small blue butterfly fly from the right, dragon look at butterfly and track it with his eyes his eyes pupils become big and cute while he look at the butterfly with cute face expression until it fly away.

his tail swing, eyes blinking, eyes looking in different directions.

The workflow is also crazy simple

2. generate video with animation
3. get key frames from this video
