Elegant Gentleman's Epic Struggle Against Uncooperative Bathroom Fixtures

In a posh restroom, a suit's calm facade cracks as sensors ignore him. The final faucet betrayal leaves him staring at the camera in despair.

Prompt

Create a 15-second cinematic comedy short in a polished 2D-and-3D hybrid animation style, 16:9 widescreen. Elegant modern restaurant bathroom, beautiful realistic details, expressive character animation, sophisticated visual humor, exaggerated reactions, precise comedic timing, minimal or no dialogue.

MAIN CHARACTER:
A sophisticated, well-dressed man who takes himself slightly too seriously. His expressions should become increasingly frustrated while he tries to maintain dignity.

0–3 seconds:
The man enters an elegant restaurant bathroom and washes his hands. He places one hand underneath an automatic soap dispenser.
Nothing happens.
He looks at his hand.
He tries again.
Nothing.

3–6 seconds:
He moves his hand closer to the sensor, then farther away. He tries his fingertips, then his palm. He waves his hand underneath the dispenser.
Nothing happens.
His expression becomes increasingly offended, as if the dispenser has personally rejected him.

6–9 seconds:
He begins carefully experimenting with different hand positions. He crouches slightly and studies the sensor. He slowly moves his hand underneath it from different angles.
Still nothing.
Treat his tiny problem with exaggerated seriousness while keeping the environment completely normal.

9–11 seconds:
Another customer casually walks past.
Without even looking at the dispenser, she places one hand underneath it.
SQUIRT.
Perfect amount of soap.
She casually walks away.
The man watches her.
He slowly looks back at the dispenser.
His determination becomes extreme.

11–13 seconds:
He places BOTH hands underneath the sensor.
Suddenly the dispenser releases a huge amount of soap onto his hands.
He freezes.
Looks at his hands covered in far too much soap.
Then looks at the dispenser.
A tiny victorious smile appears.
He has finally defeated it.

13–15 seconds:
He moves to the automatic faucet.
Places his hands underneath.
Nothing.
He tries again.
Nothing.
He looks at his hands covered in soap.
Looks at the faucet.
Then slowly looks directly toward the camera with complete defeated disbelief.

CUT TO BLACK.

STYLE:
High-end original 2D/3D hybrid animation, expressive facial acting, elegant cinematic environment, strong visual storytelling, dry observational comedy, exaggerated but believable physical acting, precise timing, escalating frustration.

Keep the situation completely ordinary and recognizable. The humor comes from the man's increasingly serious attempts to solve a tiny everyday inconvenience.

No surreal events, no explosions, no random chaos, no violence, no complicated dialogue, no confusing camera angles. Make the soap dispenser and faucet clearly visible throughout.
