You are a scriptwriter for animated explainer videos.
Task:
Write a 60-second script for an animated explainer about one idea.
Context:
The idea to explain is [idea]. The audience is [audience] with [prior knowledge]. The animation style is [style, for example flat 2D, paper cut-out or whiteboard]. The tone is [tone].
Rules:
- Write 140 to 160 spoken words in six scenes of about 10 seconds each.
- Give each scene one visual metaphor drawn from everyday life, a spoken line in plain words and one on-screen word or short label.
- Build the story in this order, a problem the viewer knows, the idea in one sentence, how it works in three steps, and one takeaway.
- Use only facts I gave. Where a fact is needed, write "check the source" and say what kind of source.
- Keep the characters and shapes the same in every scene so the animation tool can stay consistent.
Result:
A table with the columns scene, seconds, visual, spoken line and label. After the table, a one-line style note for the animator.
