A vertical 9:16 YouTube Short. The main character is a small toy dragon, about 20 cm tall, made of soft plush fabric with slightly glossy plastic button eyes, tiny stitched wings, a little curled tail, and a glowing teal circuit-pattern on its chest that pulses when it "thinks". It moves with bouncy, curious, wide-eyed energy, like a living toy.
The dragon explores New York City in one continuous adventure: it hops off a yellow taxi in Times Square, gazes up at glowing billboards with its mouth open in wonder, flutters up to perch on a hot dog cart, slides down a subway railing, peeks out of a Central Park bench, and finally glides between skyscrapers at golden hour, landing on the Brooklyn Bridge as the city lights come on.
Style: warm cinematic look, Pixar-like 3D animation blended with realistic city footage, shallow depth of field, soft golden-hour lighting, vibrant neon reflections on wet streets, playful and heartwarming mood. Dynamic camera: quick tracking shots, low-angle hero shots, smooth drone-style follow. Fast pacing with a new shot every 2-3 seconds, ending on a smile and a little wave to the camera.
Audio: upbeat whimsical music, city ambience (car horns, chatter, subway rumble), small cute squeaky dragon sounds. No dialogue.
Duration: 30 seconds. Consistent character design in every shot.
