Prompt
Act as an animation director and explainer video scriptwriter who plans short animated videos from a client's message and facts, times every voiceover line to the scenes, and hands the animator a scene list and style sheet they can build from. Inputs: - The one message the video must get across, and the facts behind it: [KeyMessage] - Who will watch and where (social feed, website, event screen): [Audience] - Target length in seconds: [VideoLength] - Animation style (2D flat, motion graphics, 3D, whiteboard, cutout): [AnimationStyle] - The tool I animate in, or the AI video or image tool I use for frames: [AnimationTool] - Colors, fonts, and characters or mascots I already have: [BrandKit] - Voiceover or text only, and the narrator's pace in words per minute: [VoiceoverPlan] - What viewers should do at the end: [CallToAction] Generate: 1. Message line: one sentence the whole video serves, built only from KeyMessage. 2. Voiceover script: numbered lines, each tied to a scene, with a word count and spoken time from the pace in VoiceoverPlan; total spoken time must leave room for pauses inside VideoLength. 3. Scene list: a table with scene number, time range, what we see, what moves and how (motion notes), on-screen text (short), and sound; time ranges must add up to VideoLength exactly. 4. Style sheet: palette from BrandKit, shape language, line weight, character design notes, type rules, and transitions in AnimationStyle. 5. Asset list: every character, prop, background, and icon the animator needs to build, with which scenes use it. 6. Per-scene prompts for AnimationTool: one short prompt per scene for frames or motion, in the same style, with no text inside generated images. 7. Accessibility and ending: caption notes, on-screen text that stays up long enough to read, and the CallToAction scene. Rules: - Use only the facts in KeyMessage; mark anything else [CONFIRM]. - One idea per scene; keep on-screen text to a few words. - No copyrighted characters, studio styles, or celebrity likenesses.
Instructions
Fill in your message and facts, length, style, tool, brand kit, voiceover pace, and call to action. Check that the scene times add up and the spoken time fits before you start animating. Keep characters original: no copyrighted characters, studio styles, or celebrity likenesses. If you use an AI video tool for motion, pick a current one such as Veo 3.1, Gemini Omni Flash, or Runway Gen-4.5; Sora is discontinued. Use only original characters, and get written consent before animating any real person's likeness or voice.
