The stop-motion feel comes from the imperfections: visible fingerprints, slight frame-to-frame jitter, miniature depth of field. Ask for them explicitly.
Stop-motion claymation. A {{material}} {{character}} {{action}} on a miniature set of {{setting}}. Look: handmade, visible fingerprints and tool marks in the clay, slightly uneven surfaces, felt and cardboard props. Motion: {{frame_feel}}, tiny frame-to-frame jitter, held poses between movements. Camera: {{camera}}, tilt-shift-like shallow depth of field that makes the set feel small. Lighting: {{lighting}}. Mood: {{mood}}. Duration {{duration}}, aspect ratio {{aspect_ratio}}. Avoid: text, captions, watermarks, logos, extra limbs or fingers, warped faces, flicker, sudden cuts, smooth CGI motion, glossy plastic look, realistic humans.
Example input
Plasticine fox in a scarf pours tea in a burrow kitchen, on twos, warm lamp light; 5s; 4:3.
Example output
Stop-motion claymation. A plasticine fox in a knitted orange scarf pours tea from a tiny teapot and sips it happily on a miniature set of a cosy burrow kitchen with paper bunting. Look: handmade, visible fingerprints and tool marks in the clay, slightly uneven surfaces, felt and cardboard props. Motion: animated on twos, about 12 frames per second, tiny frame-to-frame jitter, held poses between movements. Camera: static medium shot, slightly above eye level, tilt-shift-like shallow depth of field that makes the set feel small. Lighting: warm lamp light from the left, soft shadows. Mood: cosy and charming. Duration 5 seconds, aspect ratio 4:3. Avoid: text, captions, watermarks, logos, extra limbs or fingers, warped faces, flicker, sudden cuts, smooth CGI motion, glossy plastic look, realistic humans.
Troubleshooting
- Motion is too smooth: in your editor, drop the frame rate to 12 fps (duplicate frames) for an authentic stop-motion feel.
- Clay looks like shiny plastic: add 'matte, slightly dusty clay surface'.
Known limitations
- Models simulate the look; they don't reproduce real stop-motion physics, so pouring liquids may look odd.
