SUBJECTS
Painter: adult painter wearing a paint-stained apron, positioned beside a long wooden art table, using a large flat paint brush and palette knife to trap a living paint blob. Starts calm and controlled, then becomes increasingly panicked and messy.
Paint Blob: palm-sized living blob made of glossy blue and orange paint, always moving low across the art table, sliding and hopping forward to the right while performing stretch-and-squash dodges, sudden stops, quick direction changes, and smug gestures. Leaves realistic wet paint trails.
ENVIRONMENT
Messy art studio with one long wooden worktable showing clear depth.
Objects on the table: paint tubes, glass jars, brushes, water cup, sketchbooks, color palette, small canvas frames, cloth rags.
Large blank canvas standing at the far end of the table.
Window is closed.
All mess and damage should accumulate naturally through the scene.
STYLE
Realistic 3D animated short film.
Playful physical comedy.
Strong object physics.
Glossy wet paint material.
Fast but readable action.
Cinematic lighting with colorful paint splashes.
CAMERA DETAILS
Main POV is a low close-following rear perspective behind the paint blob, moving forward across the table.
The painter’s brush attacks mostly enter from above and from the sides.
Only one brief frontal confrontation near the end.
Use wide-angle lens feeling during the chase for speed and chaos.
TIMELINE

0:04-0:10
POV shot, 20mm, close-follow high-speed movement behind the paint blob.
The camera continuously advances forward without looking back.
The blob performs serpentine dodges, sudden stops, hops over brushes, slides around jars, and leaves colorful trails.
The painter’s brush and palette knife keep attacking from above and the sides.
Every missed hit realistically strikes table objects:
paint jars roll,
brushes scatter,
water cup spills,
paint tubes burst,
sketchbook pages flip open,
canvas frames shake.
The chaos should keep building and stay visible.
