Mixed-Media Kitchen Cooking Animation

Create a 30-second vertical 9:16 cinematic cooking short using all uploaded reference images. REFERENCE PRIORITY: Character sheets = exact character appearance. Kitchen reference = exact environment. Pancake recipe image = food preparation and final pancake appearance. VISUAL STYLE — CRITICAL: Create a deliberate mixed-media scene. The YOUNG WOMAN must be ULTRA-REALISTIC LIVE ACTION: photorealistic face, skin, eyes, hair, clothing, natural body proportions, realistic expressions and physically accurate lighting. She must look like a real human filmed with a cinematic camera. NOT anime, NOT cartoon, NOT illustration. The FOX GIRL and FOREST GUARDIAN must remain 2D FLAT ANIME-STYLE STICKER CHARACTERS based exactly on their uploaded character sheets. Preserve their clean illustrated outlines, flat colors, cel-shading, stylized proportions and original designs. They must NOT become realistic, 3D CGI or live-action characters. The kitchen is photorealistic. The realistic woman and realistic kitchen contrast intentionally with the colorful 2D anime sticker characters. Make the 2D characters feel naturally integrated into the real kitchen through correct scale, perspective, contact shadows and lighting, while clearly remaining flat illustrated characters. CHARACTERS: Young woman: use uploaded reference exactly; long black hair, white athletic jersey, black shorts, white socks and sneakers. Fox girl: use uploaded reference exactly; pink hair, fox ears, blue eyes, fluffy cream/orange tail, purple/magenta outfit. Energetic, playful and slightly clumsy. Ears and tail react naturally. Forest guardian: use uploaded reference exactly; huge antlers, wooden body, green leafy beard/mane, wooden armor, blue glowing eyes/rune and living vines. Calm, serious and gentle. His vines act as extra hands and use harmless nature magic. LOCATION: Photorealistic warm modern kitchen, wooden counters, cream cabinets, stove, island and soft afternoon sunlight. Keep the same kitchen, lighting and layout throughout. STORY + TIMING: 0–5s: Young woman walks naturally into the kitchen. Smooth cinematic tracking shot from behind, then over-the-shoulder reveal. She sees the 2D fox girl and giant guardian preparing pancakes at the counter. GIRL: "What are you two doing in my kitchen?" FOX GIRL: "Pancakes!" GUARDIAN: "Pancakes." Girl blinks: "...Okay." 5–10s: Girl joins them. GIRL: "Fine. You're helping." They begin making pancake batter following the uploaded recipe: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, milk, egg, melted butter and vanilla. Guardian's vines naturally hold ingredients and utensils. 10–15s: Fox gi
