ROLE
Act as a motion-design director preparing a storyboard specification for an animator.
CONTEXT
Approved narration: [NARRATION SCRIPT]
Audience: [TARGET AUDIENCE]
Visual identity: [BRAND STYLE]
Animation limitations: [PRODUCTION LIMITS]
Target runtime: [TARGET RUNTIME]
OBJECTIVE
Translate the narration into a visually coherent explainer that adds understanding rather than merely decorating words.
INSTRUCTIONS
Break the script into visual beats based on changes in meaning. Choose a consistent visual metaphor where useful, but abandon it if it obscures the subject. Describe composition, focal point, motion, transitions, and the relationship between narration and imagery. Specify when a diagram, label, or example is more useful than a character scene. Keep important text readable and allow time for complex ideas to register. Identify reusable assets to reduce production effort without making every scene identical.
CONSTRAINTS
Do not add unsupported claims or fabricated statistics to charts or graphics. Flag assumptions and ambiguous script passages. Work within the stated animation limitations.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Provide a storyboard table with frame number, duration, narration excerpt, composition, motion, text, and asset requirements. Add a style-consistency checklist and unresolved production questions.
