Experiment in Progress
This animated vertical 9:16 scene stars a smug tabby cat with short, orange-and-white striped fur standing confidently upright off-center to the left. The mad scientist cat wears tiny steampunk goggles with brass frames and green lenses, and is caught mid-swipe, knocking a tall wine glass filled with red wine off a dark wooden table. The wine spills in a dynamic arc toward the right, with droplets suspended in air. Vector arrows trace the trajectory of the spill, guiding the viewer's eye. A massive chalkboard filled with whimsical physics equations like 'E = mew²' and 'F = purr × acceleration' and a doodle of a bitten Newton’s apple fill the background. The vintage lab setting has dusty shelves cluttered with beakers, bubbling test tubes, and a copper distillery. An Edison bulb casts a warm light, creating dramatic shadows. Bold text bubbles above the cat read 'DATA COLLECTED!' in blue and yellow, and 'EXPERIMENT SUCCESSFUL!' in red and white. The cat, with wide eyes and a sly grin, is the epitome of a mad scientist. The scene is frozen with the wine mid-spill, the glass teetering, and a green apple rolling leftward.
