[GOAL] Create a 30-second emotional science-fiction film about the last surviving gardening robot restoring life to an abandoned Earth. [CONTINUITY] Subject: One small, original weathered gardening robot, approximately 70 centimeters tall, rounded metal body, two mechanical arms and one circular amber eye. Scene: A barren desert with distant ruined structures and lifeless soil. Props: One small seed, one metal watering can belonging to the robot. [STAGE 1 | 0-5s | THE DISCOVERY] Initial state: A small robot walks alone across dry, cracked earth. Primary event: A tiny green seedling emerges through the soil directly in front of it. End state: The robot stops beside the seedling. Cut type: NO CUT. [STAGE 2 | 5-10s | THE LAST DROP] Initial state: The robot kneels beside the fragile plant. Primary event: It pours its final drop of water onto the soil. End state: The surrounding earth becomes visibly damp. Cut type: CUT. [STAGE 3 | 10-15s | A SIGN OF LIFE] Initial state: The robot watches the damp soil. Primary event: The seedling slowly opens its first two leaves. End state: A tiny green plant stands upright. Cut type: NO CUT. [STAGE 4 | 15-20s | THE SACRIFICE] Initial state: The robot remains beside the plant. Primary event: It lowers its head and its amber eye gradually fades out. End state: The robot becomes completely motionless. Cut type: NO CUT. [STAGE 5 | 20-25s | THE MIRACLE] Initial state: The inactive robot sits beside the plant. Primary event: The plant rapidly grows into a brilliant golden sunflower. End state: The sunflower towers above the robot. Cut type: CUT. [STAGE 6 | 25-30s | EARTH REBORN] Initial state: The sunflower faces the setting sun. Primary event: The camera rises into an immense aerial pullback. End state: Thousands of green plants spread across the once-barren landscape, surrounding the silent robot. Cut type: NO CUT. [VISUAL STYLE] Photoreal science fiction, tactile aged metal, realistic botanical growth, dusty atmosphere, premium feature-film composition, warm golden-hour cinematography. [CAMERA AND PERFORMANCE] Low-angle tracking, intimate macro photography, subtle mechanical gestures, slow cinematic aerial finale. Make the robot's gentle actions convey its personality without exaggerated facial animation. [AUDIO] (Delicate piano melody gradually develops into emotional orchestral strings) <Soft mechanical footsteps> <Metal watering can movement> <Final electronic heartbeat fading into silence> <Wind moving through fresh vegetation> No dialogue. No subtitles. [EXCLUSIONS] No humans, additional robots, cartoon animation, sudden location changes, inconsistent robot anatomy, futuristic weapons, text, logos or watermarks. [MAINTAIN CONSISTENCY] Maintain exactly one robot, one watering can and one original plant. Preserve robot proportions and the position of the growing flower.
Includes a consistency lock: a trait the prompt asks the model to hold constant.
