"Hammie is such an intelligent dwarf hamster," Ms Tan said to Dr David, Chinese man in his 60s, white hospital scrub, grey hair, bespectacled. Dr David is a veterinarian in his private practice.
Ms Tan said, "Hammie is one rare hamster. He stands up, clasps his hands to say 'good morning' to me!"
16 Aug 2026. DOES A DWARF HAMSTER SAYS ''THANK YOU'?'
1. I wrote a script 2. I asked Chatgpt to create the storyboard or video prompt. 3. I asked Gemini AI to create this video. Prompted Format: 9:16 vertical, photorealistic, cinematic, warm and heartwarming, approximately 60–75 seconds. Main characters Ms Tan: 70-year-old Chinese woman, full permed short silver hair, floral blouse and black pants, living in a comfortable Singapore Housing Board apartment. Hammie: 2-year-old male dwarf hamster, pure white, thick fluffy fur, large expressive brown eyes. Dr David: Chinese male veterinarian, grey hair, spectacles, wearing a clean white veterinary hospital scrub, working in his private veterinary practice.
Scene 1 — Morning at Home | 0:00–0:08 Bright morning sunlight enters Ms Tan's HDB apartment. The camera slowly moves through the living room toward Hammie's clean, spacious hamster enclosure. Hammie wakes up and looks toward Ms Tan. Soft, cheerful instrumental music. Narrator: “This is Ms Tan, 70 years old. She lives in a Housing Board apartment with Hammie, her beloved dwarf hamster.”
Scene 2 — Hammie's Morning Greeting | 0:08–0:20 Close-up of Hammie. He rises onto his two hind legs and looks directly at Ms Tan with his large brown eyes. He brings his two tiny front paws together and gently moves them toward each other, creating an adorable gesture that resembles clasping his hands. Ms Tan smiles warmly. Narrator: “Hammie always stood up on his two hind legs and looked at her with his large brown eyes.” Ms Tan, laughing softly: “Good morning, Hammie!”
Scene 3 — “Thank You for the Seeds” | 0:20–0:30 Ms Tan places a few hamster-safe seeds into Hammie's enclosure. Hammie stands upright again, bringing his front paws together. Use an extreme close-up of his tiny paws, whiskers and bright eyes. Narrator: “He would put his two front paws together and move them towards each other, almost as if he were saying…” Hammie's imagined voice, playful and gentle: “Good morning, Mum. Thank you for the seeds!” Ms Tan laughs affectionately.
Scene 4 — Comfort After a Tiring Day | 0:30–0:43 Later in the afternoon, Ms Tan sits tiredly on the sofa. She rests her hand beside Hammie's enclosure. Hammie approaches, sniffs her fingers through the enclosure, and looks up at her. Ms Tan gently opens the enclosure and carefully lifts Hammie into her hands. Narrator: “When Ms Tan was tired and sat on the sofa, Hammie would sniff her hand.”
Scene 5 — The Healing Power of Companionship | 0:43–0:53 Ms Tan cradles Hammie gently against her chest. Hammie remains calm in her cupped hands. She smiles. Her tired expression gradually disappears. Close-up of Ms Tan's face followed by Hammie's peaceful face. Narrator: “She would lift Hammie up to cradle him. Somehow, his little presence made her smile and forget her weariness.” Warm, emotional music rises gently.
Scene 6 — At Dr David's Veterinary Practice | 0:53–1:08 Cut to a bright, modern private veterinary practice. Ms Tan sits opposite Dr David, a Chinese veterinarian with grey hair and spectacles, wearing white veterinary scrubs. Dr David listens attentively while Ms Tan speaks enthusiastically. Ms Tan: “Hammie is such an intelligent dwarf hamster.” Dr David smiles. Ms Tan: “Hammie is one rare hamster. He stands up, clasps his hands to say, ‘Good morning’ to me!” Dr David smiles and nods thoughtfully.
Scene 7 — Final Heartwarming Montage | 1:08–1:15 Quick montage: Hammie standing upright. His tiny paws coming together. Ms Tan smiling. Hammie sniffing her hand. Ms Tan gently cradling him. Hammie looking into her eyes. End on a close-up of Hammie's face. Narrator: “Sometimes, the smallest companions can bring the greatest comfort.” Fade to black.
Final title on screen: “Hammie — A Little Friend With A Big Heart” Visual direction: Photorealistic Singapore apartment and veterinary clinic, natural skin and fur textures, realistic hamster anatomy and movements, shallow depth of field, gentle handheld camera movement, soft morning sunlight, warm cinematic lighting, realistic facial expressions, emotional but understated acting, natural ambient sounds, high-definition wildlife-quality close-ups.
Important continuity: Keep Ms Tan, Hammie and Dr David visually consistent throughout the entire video. Hammie remains a small white dwarf hamster with thick white fur and large brown eyes. Do not anthropomorphize Hammie's body or give him human hands; his “clasped hands” gesture should be created naturally from his two front paws.

Emojis representing common hand gestures are among the most popular ways to say thank you."
The 🙏 Folded Hands with its handful of interpretations can work to express gratitude in multiple ways. For those who use it to represent hands in prayer, it can convey sending thanks to the heavens, and it’s also a gesture of gratitude in Japanese culture.
Create a video. Ms Tan, 70 years old, full permed short silver hair, floral blouse, black pants lives in a Housing Board apartment with Hammie, her 2-year-old male dwarf hamster, white colour, thick fur coat. She loves Hammie very much as Hammie always stood up on two hind legs, look at her with his large brown eyes. He would put his two front paws together when he stood, move his two paws towards each other as if to say "Good morning, mum, thank you for the seeds". When Ms Tan was tired and sat on the sofa, he would sniff her hand and Ms Tan would lift Hammie up to cradle him. Ms Tan would smile and forget her weariness.

MASTER VIDEO PROMPT
Create a photorealistic cinematic wildlife-education video in 9:16 vertical format, set at 9:00 AM on a bright sunny morning in Singapore, in a lush forested area beside a slow-flowing river.
The environment is alive with tropical trees, green foliage, birds, butterflies and dragonflies, with sunlight filtering naturally through the canopy. The atmosphere is peaceful and fresh, with realistic birdsong, insects, gentle river sounds and rustling leaves.
The main subjects are two Chinese women, owners of a dwarf hamster :
Ms Tan: Chinese woman, short black hair, wearing a clean white blouse and green slacks, carrying a DSLR camera with a long zoom lens.
Ms Wong: Chinese woman with long brown hair, wearing a floral blouse and black pants, accompanying Ms Tan on the forest trail.
An adult Oriental Garden Lizard (Calotes versicolor) with a distinctly orange throat is basking on a sunlit tree trunk. The lizard must remain anatomically realistic throughout the video, with natural scales, claws, eyes, body proportions and movement.
A solitary skin cancer may be surgically removed if it’s not too large or impacting vital structures on the body. Surgical removal may help prevent tumor spread when performed early in the diagnosis.

Create a video. Prompted WHY DOES THE ORIENTAL GARDEN LIZARD BASK? Format: 9:16 vertical
A bright sunny morning at 9am in Singapore's forested area beside a slow flowing river. There are birds, butterflies and dragonflies. Ms Tan, a Chinese lady in short black hair, white blouse and green slacks walks on the forest paths to take wildlife photography. Suddenly, she sees an adult Oriental Garden Lizard with an orange throat on the tree trunk in front of her. "That is a male Oriental Garden Lizard basking in the sunlight!" she says to Ms Wong, her lady friend in long brown hair, wearing a floral blouse and black pants accompanying her.
Ms Tan focuses her DSLR camera with zoom lens onto the Oriental Garden lizard. "Why does the Oriental Garden Lizard bask?" asked the lady friend.
"The Oriental Garden Lizard is a cold-blooded reptile," Ms Tan informs her friend. "Basking in the sunlight warms it. It becomes be active so as to hunt and digest food. "
Ms Tan pointed to the Oriental Garden Lizard on the tree trunk and said: "The sunlight causes its skin to produce Vitamin D3 which aids the absorption of the calcium and phosphorus in its food."
The Oriental Garden Lizard scurries up the tree trunk as Ms Tan said: "Vitamin D3 produces strong bones and maintain a healthy immune system."
