Pip and the Paper Boat
A small fox floats a paper boat down a rainy lane. It starts to sink, so he patches it with a leaf.
How it was made
- Character sheet first: Pip front and three-quarter on plain grey, plus the paper boat and the lane as separate plates.
- Four keyframes, each made with the character and place plates attached.
- Each keyframe animated as a start frame (Veo 3.1 Fast, 8 s). Shot 2 was redone once because the ears didn't droop on-model.
- Music made in ElevenLabs Music, cut in the edit, mixed to -14 LUFS.
What it shows
- One character sheet keeps a 3D cartoon fox identical across four shots.
The key prompt
Character reference sheet still for a family animated short. Pip, a small fox kit cartoon character: chubby round body, soft rust-orange fur with a cream chest and a cream tail tip, oversized round ears with dark brown tips, large round amber eyes with big highlights, a tiny black button nose, three pale freckle spots on each cheek, a short mustard-yellow knitted scarf with one red stripe, small teal rubber rain boots. Front view, standing, full body from ear tips to boots with space around, arms relaxed, a gentle smile, plain light grey background, soft even studio light. Stylised 3D family-animation still, soft rounded shapes, soft fur with gentle subsurface glow, warm saturated colours, soft rim light, shallow depth of field, the look of a modern animated feature film, an original design. No text, no letters, no captions, no watermark. 3:4.
