Create a 21-second vertical 9:16 cinematic stop-motion animation. A tiny humanoid figure made entirely from naturally shaped smooth beach stones comes to life in a shallow tidal pool on a rocky seashore. Each body part is constructed from individual stones-large oval stone as the head, stacked rounded stones for the torso, smaller stones forming arms and legs. The scene is filmed through a slightly out-of-focus chain-link fence, creating a natural foreground frame. Behind the character is a calm shoreline, shallow seawater, barnacle-covered rocks, seaweed, and a softly blurred forest under an overcast sky. Photorealistic textures, natural muted colors, shallow depth of field, realistic water reflections. Animation: The stone figure slowly balances itself and begins moving like a playful little human. It shifts its weight, raises one leg, bends its knees, swings its stone arms, and performs a quirky little dance while carefully maintaining balance on the wet surface. Tiny ripples form beneath every footstep, and its reflection moves naturally in the water. The movements should feel hand-crafted stop-motion, slightly imperfect but believable, with realistic stone physics and weight. Toward the final seconds, the figure loses its balance, stumbles, and collapses naturally, with the individual stones separating and tumbling onto the shallow wet ground. The character completely disassembles into ordinary stones. End with the camera holding on the scattered stones and their reflections. Camera: locked-off smartphone-style vertical composition, subtle natural camera movement, medium-full shot, low angle close to water level, strong foreground bokeh from the fence, cinematic depth of field. Lighting: soft diffused daylight, overcast coastal atmosphere, realistic reflections and wet stone highlights. Style: ultra-realistic live-action environment + whimsical photorealistic stone stop-motion character, tactile stone textures, physically believable movement, cinematic macro photography, no CGI-looking surfaces, no text, no humans. Negative prompt: cartoon, plastic-looking stones, exaggerated facial features, smooth CGI character, floating objects, unrealistic physics, extra limbs, changing environment, camera cuts, text, watermark, oversaturated colors.
