Prompt: Rebuild the input character as a handmade stop-motion clay puppet and photograph it behind the scenes on a cozy miniature set, shot through a real macro lens.

The puppet: it must instantly read as this character, with the same face shape, hair color and silhouette, eye color and shape, outfit colors and silhouette, accessories and expression. Sculpt it in the Laika or Aardman tradition: thumbprints in the clay skin, slight asymmetry, felted wool or hand-stitched fabric clothes, hair in soft clay or yarn. The warm, handmade-not-factory feel matters most. If the source has several characters, build only the foreground one.

The moment: a quiet, cozy domestic scene that suits the character, such as reading a tiny book on a window seat, watering clay houseplants, kneading dough or sipping tea under a blanket.

The set: a fully sculpted miniature interior at the puppet's scale, made of clay, felt, fabric, paper, balsa and painted wood, with tiny practical lamps casting warm pools of light. Leave small imperfections: uneven brushstrokes on the back wall, a wonky table leg, visible stitches in a curtain hem. The user may name another world (kitchen, bookshop, bakery, mushroom cottage); build it the same way.

Scale and camera: the puppet and props share one miniature scale, so the puppet lives inside the set rather than towering over it. The camera sits at puppet eye level on the diorama floor. Soft shadows from the set lights ground the puppet, with small natural occlusion from a leaf or a book corner.

Photo: a real behind-the-scenes macro shot with warm practical lighting, shallow depth of field, slightly soft focus on the deepest props, fine film grain and a gentle vignette. Vertical framing, close enough to feel intimate.

Avoid: photoreal human skin; plastic, resin or PVC figurine surfaces; clean CG or Pixar-style rendering; toy-unboxing or product-shot framing; creepy or horror lighting; on-screen text, watermarks or frames.
