Qui va à la Ducasse…

Prompt

**QUI VA À LA DUCASSE — 30s SILENT COMEDY** Create ONE 30-second square 1:1 film with ONE continuous original piano soundtrack. Use 8 reference images: IMAGE 2 identifies characters ONLY; show IMAGES 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 in that order. **STYLE:** Authentic 1920s French silent comedy. STRICT aged BLACK & WHITE, subtle sepia, film grain, flicker, scratches. NO COLOUR anywhere. Both cotton candies must remain pale grey-white, NEVER pink. **CHARACTERS:** MOMO = left boy, striped shirt, suspenders, cap. MARINETTE = centre girl, floral dress, bow. ROBERT/RoRo = right boy, dark waistcoat, neckerchief. Never swap characters. **CAMERA:** Fixed wide shots, stable fairground geography. No pan, zoom or tracking. Massacre stall may have closer fixed framing. HARD CUTS between images; NO morphing, blending or overlapping scenes. Movements brisk, expressive, slightly jerky, like 1920s silent cinema. **TIMELINE:** **0–3s — IMAGE 1:** Hold original opening title. **3–7s — IMAGE 3:** Momo points at the teddy bear atop the climbing pole. Marinette admires him. **7–11s — IMAGE 4:** Momo climbs. Robert STAYS at the cotton-candy stall, obtaining EXACTLY TWO cotton candies. Marinette watches Momo. **11–15s — IMAGE 5:** Momo takes the teddy bear at the SUMMIT and REMAINS THERE throughout this shot. Robert gives Marinette ONE cotton candy, keeping the SECOND. They smile. NO DESCENT. **HARD CUT. Momo descends OFFSCREEN.** **15–20s — IMAGE 6:** Begin directly with Momo ALREADY ON THE GROUND, holding HIS teddy bear under his arm. Marinette and Robert each hold ONE cotton candy and smile together. Momo reacts with wounded jealousy. All three visible. NO climbing, descent or duplicated Momo. **20–27s — IMAGE 7:** Hard cut to massacre stall. Momo furiously throws rag balls at "RoRo" tin cans. Cans FALL and scatter on impact. Teddy bear remains at Momo's feet. Preserve original stall backdrop. **27–30s — IMAGE 8:** Hard cut to original closing title. Hold; comic ending. **CONTINUITY:** Momo alone climbs and wins the bear; Robert NEVER touches it. Robert obtains TWO cotton candies and gives ONE to Marinette. No extra characters, invented actions or simultaneous versions of Momo. **TEXT:** NO added captions, subtitles or overlays. Preserve original title cards, fairground signs, "RoRo" labels and credits. Never rewrite or merge text. **MUSIC:** ONE uninterrupted, fast, lively, nervous 1920s honky-tonk ragtime SOLO PIANO, 185–195 BPM. Driving stride bass, crisp staccato, rapid syncopation and comic accents. Growing agitation during jealousy, frantic climax at the massacre, witty final flourish. NO voices, narration, singing or orchestra. Characters do NOT dance to the beat. **PRIORITY:** Exact reference compositions, strict monochrome, clean HARD CUTS, clear story, continuous music. NO OTHER CHANGES.
