Prompt (original, unmodified)
GAINS — Hamster Gym Bro A tiny golden hamster with disproportionately muscular arms, wearing a microscopic tank top that says "NO DAYS OFF," stands in front of a full sized human gym mirror doing bicep poses. A water bottle the size of his body sits beside him. High budget 3D animation, Pixar quality. [0s–1.5s] Interior of a high end gym. Normal humans work out in the background. Camera slowly lowers to ground level where a hamster stands on a tiny platform in front of the mirror, flexing intensely. [1.5s–3s] He waddles to the dumbbell rack. Grabs a full sized 1kg dumbbell. It's twenty times his size. He deadlifts it, face turning red, cheeks puffing out, tiny legs shaking. He gets it an inch off the ground. Drops it. Acts casual. [3s–5s] He climbs onto a treadmill. Hits the start button. It launches him off the back like a cannon. He tumbles across the floor, pops up immediately, walks back, and turns the speed down. Looks around to see if anyone noticed. [5s–7s] He tries the bench press. Uses two pencils as his barbell with erasers as weights. He presses it up, grunting dramatically. His spotter, a hamster half his size with glasses, holds one finger under the bar pretending to help. [7s–9s] He spots a human woman doing yoga. He rolls out a tiny mat next to her and attempts downward dog. His round body just creates a small furry lump. He holds it with fierce determination. Shaking. [9s–11s] Smoothie bar. He sits on the counter, orders a protein shake. The blender is bigger than his apartment. The shake comes in a thimble. He chugs it, slams the thimble down, wipes his mouth, and lets out a tiny belch that echoes. [11s–13s] He stands in the locker room doorway for the dramatic exit. Puts in tiny earbuds. His workout playlist starts. He slow motion walks toward the camera, an imaginary wind blowing his fur. [13s–15s] Wide shot of the gym parking lot. He walks toward a toy car, presses a key fob, the headlights flash. He climbs in, revs the engine, and peels out. The car is a hot pink Barbie jeep. He doesn't care. Cut to black. 3D animated, Pixar quality, hamster bodybuilder, gym comedy, miniature slapstick, cinematic lighting, 4K.
