Robot Vacuum I 12s Cinematic AI Spec (Sora 2) | “Dust Bunny Season”

Dust Bunny Season — a 12-second natural-history parody for a robot vacuum. One location, locked frames, tiny diegetic overlays (path line + “Population” counter). Built to test attention + recall in under 12s.

👉 Made with: Sora 2 (text-to-video), custom foley (tumbleweed roll, lidar ping, motor whoom, triumphant chime)
👉 Structure: 0–2 hook • 2–9 escalation (one action per beat) • 9–12 shrine/hero hold
👉 Continuity guards: single location, one smooth path (no teleports), consistent light, no furniture/pets/feet, dust stays small & dry

THE AI WORKFLOW
Concept & Pacing — “They migrate at dawn.” Western-showdown hook → calculated intercept → clean pounce → shrine on dock.
Cinematography — Tripod, locked frames; one gentle slider for the final shrine.
Graphics — Minimal, in-world: thin path line + simple population counter (“2 → 0”).
VO @10.6s — “A rare cleaning event.”
