The Explainer Video Prompt

Design an explainer video.

What is being explained: [DESCRIBE]
Audience: [DESCRIBE]
Duration: [SECONDS]
Style: [LITERAL / ABSTRACT / METAPHORICAL / MIXED]

Produce:
1. The narrative structure: what is established, developed, and
   resolved
2. Shot list mapped to script beats
3. Which concepts can be shown literally and which need metaphor
4. For abstract concepts: the visual metaphor and why it works
5. Per shot: content, movement, duration
6. The prompts

Constraints:
- Generated video cannot render legible text, diagrams, charts,
  or interfaces. Anything requiring those must be composited or
  animated in post.
- Abstract and metaphorical visuals generate more reliably than
  literal depictions of processes
- Keep each shot to one idea

Then: which parts of this explainer should be generated video and
which should be motion graphics. Be honest — the mix is usually
better than either alone.
