Prompt, word for word:
Character turnaround sheet for an original brand mascot of a breakfast cereal brand. The mascot is Barley, the red panda cub from the reference image: a small, round, plush red panda cub standing upright on two short legs. Russet-orange fur with a soft cream belly, a cream-white face mask with cream patches above the eyes and on the cheeks, cream-rimmed rounded ears, a small dark brown nose, large warm amber-brown eyes with two white highlights each, a happy closed-mouth smile, dark chocolate-brown arms and legs ending in rounded mitten paws with no fingers, a long fluffy tail with four cream rings. A chunky teal knitted scarf wrapped once around the neck, its knot and both fringed ends hanging on the character's left side. Four full-body views in one row, evenly spaced, same size, same height, standing on one baseline, neutral friendly pose with arms relaxed and empty paws: front view, three-quarter view facing left, side view facing left, back view (tail and scarf ends visible, no face). Plain warm off-white background (#FAF6EE), even soft studio light with a gentle warm key, a small soft contact shadow under each view. Style: premium animated-feature character render, soft individually groomed fur, warm morning light, appealing shapes that read at small size. No text, no labels, no numbers, no logos, no cereal box, no other characters.

Show it to me and wait for my approval.

Make the poses with GPT Image 2.5 Sunburst (model_openai-gpt-image-2-5-sunburst): referenceImages [approved turnaround] as an array, width 1024, height 1024, quality "high", background "transparent". Every prompt is the fixed block below, word for word, followed by one slot line.

Fixed block and the first slot line, word for word:
Draw Barley, the character from the reference turnaround sheet. Keep exactly: small round plush red panda cub, russet-orange fur, soft cream belly, cream-white face mask with cream patches above the eyes and on the cheeks, cream-rimmed rounded ears, small dark brown nose, large amber-brown eyes with two white highlights each, dark chocolate-brown arms and legs with rounded mitten paws, long fluffy tail with cream rings, chunky teal knitted scarf with its knot and fringed ends on the character's left side. No fingers, no visible teeth, no clothes other than the scarf. Premium animated-feature render with soft groomed fur and warm morning light. One character, full body, centered, no ground shadow, no text.

Pose: waving hello. Front view, his right mitten paw raised high and waving, the other arm relaxed, a big closed-mouth smile.

Pilot the hardest pose first, Barley hugging a cereal spoon as tall as he is, and show it to me. Then run fourteen jobs, one slot each, with wait: false and collect them with one jobs_wait: eight expressions (happy, laughing, surprised, thinking, sad, proud, confused, sleepy) and six poses (wave, jump, eating, presenting, cheer, running). Quote the cost with a dry run first and wait for my go.

Make one contact sheet and check each pose against those rules, one line per pose. Redo a failure once with one added sentence. For a halo, add, word for word:
Crisp cutout edges: no glow, no halo, no motion blur, no dust or particles around him.
For a pose facing right, run it facing left, as in the turnaround, and add, word for word:
The scarf knot and fringed ends hang on the side nearest the camera.
Then snap alpha of 250 and above to 255.

Put the wave, jump and presenting poses on a flat warm off-white background (#FAF6EE) at 1280x720 and upload each frame with upload_asset. Animate each with Seedance 2.5 (model_bytedance-seedance-2-5): image and lastFrameImage set to the same asset ID, duration 5, resolution "720p", generateAudio false. Preview the wave first with draft: true (480p) and show it to me. Quote the cost with a dry run first and wait for my go.

Prompt for the wave, word for word:
Seamless loop. The camera is locked. The small cartoon mascot in the image waves its raised paw side to side twice, its body bobs gently, its tail sways and it blinks once, then it returns to the starting pose. It keeps its exact design, colors and scarf in every frame, with mitten paws and no fingers. The plain warm off-white background stays flat the whole time. Ends exactly as it starts. No new objects, no shadow, no text, no camera move.

For the jump and presenting loops, change only the motion sentence.

Measure each loop: the RMSE between the first and last frame against the average change between two frames, and the teal pixel count in every frame (a frame with no teal means the scarf vanished). Tell me which loops pass. Then create a collection for Barley with the turnaround, the poses and the kept loops, and report the models, every asset ID and the total cost spent.
