Tiny Dragon Guards a Bakery at Midnight: Fantasy AI Video Prompt

Create a cosy, photorealistic fantasy short film, 24 seconds, 16:9, about a tiny dragon who secretly guards a village bakery at midnight. It should feel like a scene from a warm European fantasy film: candle light, flour in the air, real textures and a gentle sense of humour.

CHARACTER A (the dragon): a cat-sized young dragon with emerald-green scales that shimmer gold at the edges, a cream-coloured belly, small soft horns, big amber eyes, little leathery wings it can't quite fly with, and a long curling tail. It moves like a curious cat. Same look in every shot.
CHARACTER B (the thief): a small brown field mouse with a big appetite.
CHARACTER C (the baker): a kind elderly baker with a white beard, round spectacles, a flour-dusted brown apron over a cream shirt and rolled sleeves. Appears only at the end.

SETTING: one stone-walled village bakery at night: a big brick bread oven with glowing embers, wooden shelves of round loaves and braided breads, a long flour-dusted table, copper pots, bundles of dried herbs, moonlight through a small window and two candles on the table. Every scene happens in this room.

CINEMATOGRAPHY: 35mm lens, slow dolly moves, low angles at dragon height, warm amber firelight and candle light against cool blue moonlight, floating flour particles catching the light, rich textures, soft film grain, 24 fps.

[00:00-00:04] THE NIGHT WATCH — Wide shot of the dark bakery; the dragon sits on top of the bread shelf like a cat, tail curled around a loaf, eyes glowing amber in the dark.
[00:04-00:08] WARMING THE OVEN — The dragon hops down, puffs a small, controlled breath of orange flame into the oven; the embers flare and the room glows warmer. It looks proud.
[00:08-00:12] THE THIEF — A field mouse creeps along the table toward a braided loaf; the dragon's ears twitch, it slowly lowers its head and peeks over the edge of the table.
[00:12-00:16] THE STANDOFF — The dragon puffs out its chest and lets out a tiny smoke ring instead of fire. The mouse freezes, then grabs one crumb and runs; the dragon looks satisfied with its warning.
[00:16-00:20] FALLING ASLEEP — The dragon climbs onto a warm fresh loaf near the oven, turns around twice like a cat and curls up, wings folded, eyes slowly closing.
[00:20-00:24] THE BAKER — Dawn light: the baker enters with a candle, sees the sleeping dragon on the bread, smiles, and gently lays a small linen cloth over it like a blanket.

SOUND: crackling oven embers, a soft whoosh of dragon breath, tiny mouse squeak, a little smoke-ring puff, the dragon's gentle purr-like snore, the creak of the door, warm folk strings at low volume. No dialogue.
RULES: the dragon stays small and gentle, no destruction, no burning, the mouse is never hurt, no text, no logos, one location.

Cosy photoreal fantasy short, 24 s, 16:9: in a candle-lit stone village bakery at midnight, a cat-sized emerald dragon with gold-edged scales and amber eyes guards the bread. It warms the brick oven with a small breath of flame, spots a field mouse sneaking toward a braided loaf, puffs a tiny smoke ring as a warning, then curls up asleep on a warm loaf. At dawn an elderly baker in a floury apron covers it with a linen cloth. Warm firelight vs blue moonlight, floating flour, 35mm, folk strings, no dialogue, no text.

Tiny dragon: Cat-sized young dragon, emerald-green scales shimmering gold at the edges, cream belly, small soft horns, big amber eyes, small leathery wings, long curling tail, moves like a curious cat.

Baker: Kind elderly baker, white beard, round spectacles, flour-dusted brown apron over a cream shirt with rolled sleeves.
