# Clay Café Stop-Motion — Cozy Claymation

Use this Skill when the user wants a **15-second cozy claymation café short** that feels like a premium handcrafted stop-motion advertisement: a coffee shop scene rendered in warm, cute paper-clay and ceramic textures with soft natural lighting, shallow depth of field, and delicate macro cinematography.

Core principle: **the camera stays mostly fixed with a gentle, slow macro breathing push-in, maintaining generous white space and the original composition.** All objects keep their original soft paper-clay and ceramic model textures, with slight frame-by-frame stop-motion rhythm that feels natural, refined and healing. The palette stays ivory, beige, warm wood-brown, sage green and terracotta — low saturation throughout.

The prompt follows the three-part H3 structure (core concept → timecoded beats → hard negative rules). I2VA: one reference image (locks the composition and visual style; not used as the first frame unless explicitly requested).

## When to use
- Claymation / stop-motion café scenes
- Warm, cozy, healing atmospheres with tactile textures
- Handcrafted miniature world aesthetics
- Premium stop-motion advertisement style

## Hard rules
- The café architecture, furniture, plants, signage, coffee machine, display case and large ivory paper background stay identical to the reference.
- All objects maintain paper-clay and ceramic model textures with subtle frame-by-frame stop-motion rhythm.
- Camera is mostly fixed with only very slight, slow macro breathing push-in; maintain generous white space.
- Soft natural warm-white daylight; ivory/beige/sage/terracotta low-saturation palette throughout.
- Hand-drawn scrapbook doodles (hearts, stars, coffee beans, steam lines, arrows) occasionally pop/flicker/extend then restore — like living scrapbook doodles.
- No structural changes to the shop, no new characters, no costume changes, no text distortion.

参考上传图片作为唯一画面与构图参考，保持咖啡店建筑、人物位置、桌椅、植物、招牌、咖啡机、甜点柜以及大面积米白色纸张背景完全一致。

将整个场景动画化为温暖可爱的手工黏土定格动画（claymation / stop-motion）风格。所有物体保持原本柔软的纸黏土、陶土和手工模型质感，动作带有轻微逐帧停顿和不完全平滑的手工动画节奏，但整体自然、精致、治愈。


镜头基本固定，只进行非常轻微、缓慢的微距呼吸式推进，保持大量留白和原始构图。


动画内容：


* 吧台后的店员用双手制作咖啡，轻轻拿起杯子，操作咖啡机，再把咖啡杯放到柜台上。
* 咖啡机短暂工作，喷嘴冒出柔软的小股白色蒸汽，蒸汽像手工棉絮一样缓慢飘动。
* 左侧顾客轻轻抬起咖啡杯喝一口，然后把杯子放回桌面。
* 右侧顾客微微转头，与同伴轻松交流，手和身体有小幅自然动作。
* 桌上的咖啡持续冒出细小温暖的蒸汽。
* 店铺两侧的绿色植物叶片被微风轻轻摇动，动作细小而有节奏。
* 悬挂的木质咖啡招牌轻微左右摆动。
* 背景上的黑色手绘爱心、星星、咖啡豆、蒸汽线和箭头偶尔以逐帧手绘动画方式轻轻弹动、闪现或延伸一小段，再恢复原状，像活起来的 scrapbook doodles。
* 柜台里的面包和甜点保持稳定，不改变造型。
* 可以有一两颗小咖啡豆在桌边轻轻滚动一点距离，增加微缩世界的趣味感。

灯光始终保持柔和自然的暖白色日光，产生真实柔软的小型模型阴影。保持象牙白、米色、暖木棕、鼠尾草绿和陶土色的原始低饱和配色。

整体感觉像一部高级手工定格动画广告：温暖、安静、精致、略带童话感，能看到细微的手工黏土纹理与逐帧运动感。不要改变店铺结构，不要新增人物，不要改变人物服装和造型，不要让文字发生变化或乱码。
