Prompt

A hand modelled plasticine character standing in a miniature kitchen set, photographed for a stop motion film. Visible thumbprints and sculpting tool marks in the clay, slightly uneven eyes, felt and cardboard props, warm practical lighting from small sources, shallow depth of field from a macro lens, dust visible in the air. Handmade rather than rendered.
