A Blender oak tree with about 55,000 leaves that fall with baked physics when the tree is shaken. It was built by Claude Opus 5.5 in 3 hr 50 min at a cost of $59.65.

In Blender, build a very detailed, realistic oak tree. When the tree is shaken, its leaves fall off in a beautiful, physically convincing way. Film it as a short, premium video.

Background: a soft, seamless, warm cream / off-white studio backdrop. The tree stands on a small natural base: a mossy soil mound with some grass and roots. The rest of the frame is the cream backdrop with soft contact shadows. Minimal and calm, like a product shot.

The tree: a regular English oak. A thick, gnarled trunk with deep, furrowed bark. Realistic branching with twisting limbs that split into smaller branches and twigs. A full, dense crown of proper lobed oak leaves (thousands of them), with colour variation from green to a few yellowing leaves, translucency when backlit, and a few acorns. Real bark texture with displacement, and leaves with veins and a slight curl. It must look like a real oak, not a lollipop tree.

Lighting: soft, warm studio light with a large softbox key, a gentle rim light so the leaves glow, and soft shadows on the cream floor. Render in Cycles with denoising.

Animation (about 16 seconds): For the first 3 seconds the tree is still, with only a faint breeze and a slow camera push-in. At 3 seconds the tree is shaken hard, as if an invisible giant grabbed the trunk. The trunk and branches whip and sway with a natural lag, bending and springing back. Leaves detach and fall: each one tumbles, flutters and spins, gliding side to side like real falling leaves, not dropping straight down. The crown should visibly thin. A few acorns drop and bounce. The leaves land and pile up on the base and the floor around it. At the end the last few leaves drift down and the camera holds on the half-bare tree with its carpet of leaves.

Physics: use real baked physics. It must look natural, with no leaves passing through the floor.

Sound: a light breeze, a rustle burst on the shake, and soft leaf patter as they land. Real recorded sound effects only, kept subtle.

Format: 1080x1350 (4:5), tree centred, first frame bright.
