Early morning; sunlight filters through the forest canopy, casting a glow over the bank of a clear stream. The scene opens with a gentle, cinematic perspective. No faces are shown—only a pair of warm, capable hands. Shot 1: Hands carry a bamboo basket to the edge of the crystal-clear stream, where the water flows gently and small fish dart about. A hand uses a bamboo net to catch a fresh, silvery fish; it flops lightly in the basket, sending droplets of water splashing and sparkling in the sunlight. The atmosphere is natural, calm, and soothing. Shot 2: Moving to a wooden table by the stream, the hands begin preparing the ingredients. The fresh fish is placed on a wooden cutting board and slowly sliced with a sharp knife, revealing the clear texture of the flesh through clean, fluid movements. Next, a block of tender white tofu is gently cut into neat, uniform cubes; the surface of the tofu appears soft and smooth. Shot 3: Tofu and fish soup is prepared in a traditional earthenware pot over a small stove at the edge of the forest. As the water begins to boil, fish slices, tofu, chopped scallions, and fresh vegetables are added. Steam rises gently, the broth turns a milky white, and the fish and tofu tumble softly within the simmering liquid. Shot 4: Finally, the camera closes in on a bowl of the freshly cooked soup. White steam drifts upward, and sunlight catches the surface of the broth; a simple wooden spoon and the bamboo basket sit nearby. The backdrop features the forest, the stream, and leaves swaying in the breeze, evoking a sense of returning to nature and finding peaceful happiness. Style Requirements: Warm, hand-drawn style reminiscent of Hayao Miyazaki’s animated films; delicate watercolor textures; soft, natural lighting; rich forest greens; a soothing, tranquil, and heartwarming atmosphere; a blend of high-quality 2D animation and 3D spatial depth; cinematic camera work; fluid, natural movement; realistic physical interactions; rich detail in the ingredients; 4K cinematic animation quality. Sound Design (Crucial): Use only natural ambient sounds—no background music, no dialogue. Sounds include: the clear sound of the flowing stream; birdsong; leaves rustling in the breeze; dripping water; the soft sounds of the knife slicing fish and tofu; the crackling of burning firewood; the bubbling of the earthenware pot; the sound of the soup simmering. The overall feel is that of a quiet documentary about forest cooking. Negative Prompt (Seedance recommends including): No real people, no human faces, no modern kitchens, no city backgrounds, no plastic tableware, no exaggerated movements, no exaggerated cartoon expressions, no background music, no subtitles, no text, no rapid cuts, no AI-induced distortions, no extra fingers, no anatomical errors, no low-quality animation.
