Adapt this brief

Prompt draft

Create a 15-second live-action night laundromat mixed with glowing hand-drawn animation. Show fluorescent flicker, running washers, plastic baskets, an old bench, and one lost sock. Use obvious one-handed phone shake, changing exposure, reflected glass, and delayed focus. The result should feel like an unexpected late-night discovery, not a polished advertisement.

Replace the subject and reference roles first. Change camera, timing, and sound one variable at a time.
