Cow in a suit on a busy train platform

A calm brown cow in a navy suit jacket and a loose striped tie waits among commuters on a suburban train platform, then steps on board as if it does this every day. The rest stays documentary: handheld camera, morning light and a plain blue-and-white train with no readable signs.

Funny but realistic vertical video. A calm [ANIMAL, e.g. brown cow] wearing a neat navy business suit jacket and a loose striped tie stands in the middle of [PLACE, e.g. a busy suburban train platform] at morning rush hour, quietly waiting among commuters with bags. A plain blue-and-white train pulls in with no readable number or signs. The cow steps on board between the commuters with total confidence, as though it does this every day, and turns to look out of the doorway. Handheld camera at chest height, natural morning light, documentary look, shallow depth of field. Deadpan, absurd, warm humour. Sound: crowd murmur, the train rolling in, brakes, a soft cow moo, with no clear speech.

Absurd ideas work when everything else is ordinary: real-looking commuters, natural light, a documentary camera at chest height. The cow is the only odd thing, and it acts as if nothing is strange.

What you will get

A documentary-style clip of a cow in a suit jacket and tie standing among commuters on a platform, a plain blue and white train arriving, and the cow stepping on board and looking out of the doorway.

Common mistake

The platform shows invented signs and lettering.

Fix: The prompt asks for no readable number or signs on the train, but a small sign above the platform can still show made-up letters. Ask for no readable text anywhere in the shot.

Also watch for
  • The cow looks like a toy or a cartoon. Keep the camera handheld at chest height in natural light, as written, and give the animal one human detail only, the jacket and tie. Each extra costume piece pushes it further toward cartoon.
Try a variation: another animal

Swap the cow for a goat, a buffalo or a camel and the platform for a bus stop or a metro entrance. Keep the line about the animal acting as if it does this every day, because the deadpan is what makes the clip funny.
