The prompt

Create a 9-second handcrafted miniature noir film in 4:3. The set is a dollhouse-scale private detective office built from paper, wood, thread, and painted metal. A tiny original fox detective wears a cream trench coat and green felt hat.

0–3s — tabletop-height dolly past venetian-blind shadows toward the detective studying an empty velvet key box. 3–6s — a paper envelope slides under the door by itself and stops against the fox's shoe; the detective's ears lift, then the hat brim tilts as they look down. 6–9s — macro insert: a gloved paw opens the envelope, revealing only a pressed blue flower; lightning briefly silhouettes a small figure outside the frosted window. Cut to black on the next thunderclap.

VISUAL STYLE: Premium stop-motion miniature, visible paper fibers, tiny hand-painted imperfections, controlled 12-fps character movement with smooth camera motion.

PHYSICS: Envelope friction and deceleration are believable; cloth and paper keep their miniature scale; no object changes material.

AUDIO: Rain on a tin roof, ticking desk clock, envelope scrape, distant thunder, one muted jazz bass note at the end.

AVOID: readable writing, branded props, famous characters, human hands entering frame, scale drift, plastic CGI surfaces, watermark.
