The prompt

Stylized 3D animated feature, wide shot of a messy dorm room where a college student sleeps sprawled across the bed, expressive animation, locked camera. 0–2s: the room is dark, a thin bright line of daylight at the curtain edge. 2–4s: his roommate yanks the curtains apart. 4–6s: hard morning sunlight floods the room, dust swirling in the beams across pizza boxes and laundry. 6–8s: he squints, hisses and pulls the pillow over his face in the bright light. Throughout: warm daylight, cartoon textures, fixed camera, one continuous take.
