Dense Caption
A 10-frame animated contact sheet displays a pixel-art character's struggle in the ocean. The background features blue water with white wave patterns and light-blue sky with scattered clouds. Four distinct animation states appear: small floating figure, raised-arms panic pose, hands-together prayer-like pose, and sinking silhouette. Each frame repeats the text "Can't Swim" in black pixelated font on a gray bar beneath the character. The animation shows progressive distress from left to right across frames 0-3, with later frames showing reduced character size as if sinking deeper into water. Pixel art style uses limited color palette of blue, white, and gray with visible dithering effects. Character has simple black-and-white facial features (eyes, mouth) on a rounded head shape. The contact sheet layout is 4x3 grid with the final frame cropped at bottom-right.
