Mechanical Pepper Grinder Mantis Duel

Prompt

Macro cinematic lens, the night kitchen countertop is shot like a vast metal wasteland. Breadcrumbs, salt grains, and herb fragments are scattered on the countertop like rocks and bushes. The main character is a peculiar 'pepper grinder mantis': the body is a small silver stainless steel pepper grinder, tilted vertically forward, with slender realistic mantis legs growing from the bottom and sides, and two iconic sickle-shaped raptorial forelimbs in front. It has no normal insect head; the main body is the pepper grinder itself, moving cautiously and mechanically. A shiny brown cockroach slowly crawls out from the shadow of a napkin on the left, quickly approaching the pepper grinder mantis. The air is tense, like a late-night kitchen duel. The pepper grinder mantis suddenly stops, its body lifting slightly as if locking onto a target. Then it suddenly turns the top grinding head, making a crisp mechanical sound, and a large amount of black pepper fragments spray out from the top and front like a smoke bomb, hitting the cockroach directly. The cockroach is choked by the pepper, retreats in panic, its antennae waving wildly, its feet slipping, and quickly retreats back into the shadow on the left. Small black pepper particles and a slight powder mist float in the air. The pepper grinder mantis stays in place, forelimbs raised high, like a calm, victorious night watchman. Timeline Storyboard 0–3 seconds: Ultra-close-up macro shot. The silver pepper grinder mantis walks slowly on the kitchen countertop, surrounded by breadcrumbs, salt grains, and herb fragments. The metal surface has soft reflections, and the mantis legs move realistically and naturally. 3–6 seconds: In the shadow on the left, a brown cockroach suddenly appears and quickly approaches the pepper grinder mantis. The camera follows slightly, creating a sense of tension. The two sides have a brief confrontation in a small open space. 6–7 seconds: The top of the pepper grinder suddenly turns quickly, making a mechanical friction sound. A large amount of black pepper powder sprays out suddenly, forming a dense granular black spray, hitting the cockroach head-on. 7–10 seconds: The cockroach retreats in panic after being stimulated by the pepper powder, quickly escapes back into the shadow on the left and disappears. Black pepper dust floats in the air. The pepper grinder mantis remains still, forelimbs raised, guarding the spot like a victor.
