A detailed storyboard-style prompt for a humorous 3D animated short about a woman struggling with an office coffee machine.
▸ The Full Prompt
Use attached LINDA VS THE COFFEE MACHINE character sheet as exact reference. Pixar-style 3D woman, late 30s, dark hair messy bun with pen, navy blazer, white blouse. Bright modern office kitchen only, no dark shots, no other people. Black/silver office coffee machine labeled “COFFEE MACHINE,” touchscreen visible throughout.
0:00–0:02: Linda enters, places paper cup, presses Americano once, waits calmly.
0:02–0:04: Close-up display: “PLEASE WAIT — BREWING.” Machine hums awkwardly.
0:04–0:07: Linda leans closer as nothing happens. Finally a thin stream of completely clear hot water drips into cup. Double beep.
0:07–0:09: Display changes to “AMERICANO COMPLETE.” Linda slowly takes cup.
0:09–0:11: Close-up: cup contains only steaming clear hot water. Silent disappointment.
0:11–0:13: Linda stares hollowly at camera, sips hot water with zero reaction.
0:13–0:15: Display changes to “READY TO BREW.” Linda looks at machine, then water, sets cup down, removes pen from bun causing it to collapse, clicks pen, walks away. Soft final beep.
Machine never moves. No coffee ever appears — only clear hot water. Cinematic Pixar realism, subtle humor, realistic office ambience, smooth camera movement, medium/wide shots plus close-ups on display and cup.
