Prompt draft

Create a 15-second handheld phone video inside an old tram at dusk. One warm apricot hand-drawn line continuously changes from a ticket into a paper swallow, caterpillar, arrow, sailboat, tiny tram, snail, umbrella, fish, and finally a glowing sunset-cloud world before returning to paper. Every form must inherit a visible trait from the previous one. Keep the camera half a beat behind the animation, with tram sway, missed framing, focus delay, exposure jumps, and no cut to another location.

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