Minimax H3 prompt:

15-second vertical 9:16 kinetic illustrated action short based on @[image1]. Preserve the exact visual style: charming hand-drawn cartoon illustration, thick uneven black ink outlines, simplified chibi proportions, oversized curly black hair, rosy cheeks, flat warm colors, lightly textured paper-like fills, wooden samurai-armory interior, whimsical handcrafted details, subtle imperfect shading. Absolutely no photorealism, no 3D rendering, no visual-style drift.
SUBJECT / MOTIFS The tiny determined warrior prepares for an absurdly heroic duel inside the samurai shop. Motifs: oversized katana, fluttering red scarf, armor pieces, dust, speed lines, tiny sparks, sliding paper-like foreground layers.
TEXT LEDGER — only readable text:TEXT 1: “COURAGE ISN’T”TEXT 2: “BEING FEARLESS.”TEXT 3: “IT’S DRAWING THE SWORD…”TEXT 4: “…ANYWAY.”
Typography: chunky hand-inked cartoon lettering matching the illustration; cream/black/red palette; text physically reacts to nearby movement.
TIMESTAMPED CHOREOGRAPHY — 10 SHOTS
0:00–0:01.4 — SHOT 1 — STILLNESS Begin on @[image1], exact composition. Slow 3% push-in toward the warrior’s furious expression. His eyes flick toward the huge katana in the foreground.TEXT 1 drops in overhead: “COURAGE ISN’T”ASMR: faint wooden-room creak, cloth rustle, tiny metallic ting.
0:01.4–0:02.7 — SHOT 2 — THE BLADE Smash cut to macro close-up of the katana. His small hand grips the wrapped handle; fingers tighten one by one. Blade trembles slightly.ASMR: leather wrap squeak, fingernail tap, delicate steel vibration.
0:02.7–0:04.0 — SHOT 3 — DRAW! Low-angle medium-wide: he yanks the absurdly oversized sword upward. The blade scrapes dramatically across the table edge, throwing tiny illustrated sparks. His body nearly gets pulled forward by its weight.TEXT 2 gets sliced into frame by the blade: “BEING FEARLESS.”ASMR: SHHHK-KLANG, wooden scrape, scarf flutter.
0:04.0–0:05.2 — SHOT 4 — SPIN Overhead shot: momentum spins him in a full circle; red scarf becomes a graphic spiral while nearby paper tags and dust orbit him.ASMR: rapid cloth fwip-fwip, sandals scuffing floor.
0:05.2–0:06.5 — SHOT 5 — ACCIDENTAL MASTER Extreme close-up on his determined eyes → whip-pan as the katana accidentally slices a hanging bamboo practice target perfectly in half. Both halves pause for a beat, then separate.ASMR: razor-clean SWISH → soft bamboo tok…tok.
0:06.5–0:08.0 — SHOT 6 — ARMORY DOMINOES The falling bamboo piece bumps a helmet → helmet rolls → taps stacked armor → several objects wobble in a cascading chain reaction behind him while he remains deadly serious.TEXT 3 appears across wobbling wooden panels: “IT’S DRAWING THE SWORD…”ASMR: hollow helmet roll, wooden tok-tok-tok, tiny armor jingles.
0:08.0–0:09.4 — SHOT 7 — LEAP Floor-level camera. He runs three tiny rapid steps and launches into a heroic jump, knees tucked, sword overhead, cape exploding backward. Strong layered parallax through foreground swords and shelves.ASMR: rapid sandal taps → cloth snap → airy whoooosh.
0:09.4–0:11.0 — SHOT 8 — IMPOSSIBLE STRIKE Dynamic diagonal close-up: he swings downward. Stylized white slash shape crosses frame; dust bursts outward in flat illustrated clouds and speed lines. No destruction of the room—just exaggerated cartoon energy.ASMR: deep steel WHOOOSH—CHING! followed by settling dust.
0:11.0–0:12.6 — SHOT 9 — HERO LANDING He lands in a deep samurai stance, sword extended. Tiny dust rings expand around his sandals. His scarf slowly floats down over one shoulder. Camera performs a fast push-in to his stern face.TEXT 4 stamps beside him: “…ANYWAY.”ASMR: floor thump, blade hum, soft scarf flutter.
0:12.6–0:15.0 — SHOT 10 — PUNCHLINE / LOOP-LIKE FINISH The enormous sword suddenly becomes too heavy; its tip slowly drops and hits the floor with a tiny anticlimactic clink. His fierce expression never changes. Camera pulls back to a composition closely matching @[image1], warrior centered among the samura
