Seedance 2.5 miniature construction barbershop takes too much off the top

Create a 30-second animated short in a polished, premium 3D animated-film style. The scene takes place in a miniature construction-themed barbershop.

**CHARACTER AND SCENE CONSISTENCY:**
A single adult male customer sits in a red barber chair throughout the entire video. He has short dark hair that has grown into one large, messy, oversized hairstyle. He wears a blue barber cape. A single barber wearing an orange construction helmet and work overalls operates miniature construction vehicles.

Keep the customer's face, clothing, body proportions, chair, barber, and hairstyle consistent in every shot. The setting, lighting, and equipment must not change. The construction vehicles are miniature tools designed specifically for trimming and styling hair.

**SEQUENCE:**

**0–5 seconds — The Setup**
Wide shot of the customer sitting nervously in the barber chair. His hair is unusually thick and tall, sticking out in every direction. The barber examines it seriously, then looks toward three miniature construction vehicles lined up beside the chair: an excavator, a crane with oversized scissors, and a tiny road roller.

**5–12 seconds — Excavation**
The miniature excavator approaches the customer's head. Its small bucket carefully removes one thin section of hair from the left side. Show the bucket lifting the cut hair away cleanly. A tiny dump truck carries the loose hair away. Repeat on the right side, creating a visibly shorter and more even silhouette. The excavator must never touch the customer's skin or face.

**12–19 seconds — Precision Cutting**
The barber operates the miniature crane. Its arm carefully positions a pair of oversized scissors above the customer's head. The scissors open and close to trim the excess hair on top, gradually creating a neat, balanced shape. Keep the customer's head still and the crane movements slow and controlled.

**19–25 seconds — The Finishing Touch**
The miniature road roller moves slowly across the top of the newly trimmed hairstyle, gently smoothing it into a clean, polished shape. It makes one complete pass and then drives away. The barber uses a small brush to remove the remaining loose strands.

**25–30 seconds — The Reveal**
The barber rotates the chair toward a standing mirror. Reveal the customer with a clean, stylish, symmetrical haircut. He smiles proudly and admires his reflection. The barber stands beside him with a satisfied expression, holding a tiny construction-site sign. End on a close-up of the customer's happy reaction.

**VISUAL AND MOTION RULES:**
- Maintain strict character, hairstyle, vehicle, and environment continuity.
- Every vehicle must remain the same size, color, and design throughout.
- Each machine performs only its assigned task.
- Show clear cause and effect: hair is trimmed only where a tool makes contact.
- Hair must disappear gradually as it is cut; never regenerate, change length randomly, or disappear between shots.
- No sudden hairstyle changes, duplicated vehicles, extra characters, floating tools, clipping, or objects passing through the customer.
- Keep the customer seated in the same chair and facing the same direction until the final reveal.
- Use smooth, physically believable movements and clear cinematic framing.

Playful visual comedy, expressive facial animation, detailed miniature machinery, warm daylight, appealing colors, and high-quality 3D animated-film rendering.

No dialogue, narration, subtitles, written text, logos, or watermarks. Sound effects only: miniature engines, hydraulic movements, scissors snipping, brushing, and a satisfying final reveal sound.
