Controlled Puppet

Template Prompt

Vertical 9:16, 12 seconds, stylized editorial illustration with subtle 2D parallax. Flat geometric poster art, heavy retro print grain, restricted palette of crimson red, pale pink, charcoal grey, bone white. A man in a military uniform sits at a wide crimson red desk facing the camera, centered in frame. Thin black strings attach to his shoulders, elbows, wrists, and head, pulling upward at sharp angles like a marionette — his limbs twitch and jerk in stiff puppet-like movements. A single large red button sits on the desk. After several seconds of jerky puppet motion, his hand lurches down and presses the button firmly once. Slow camera push-in toward the desk throughout. Dramatic, melancholic editorial mood. No text, no logos.
