# Editorial collage animation ads

Turn one argument into a fast visual explanation. Use editorial explainer references only as broad shorthand; create an original graphic system instead of copying a publication's exact identity.

## Workflow

1. Write one clear thesis: the customer problem, mechanism, comparison, or surprising fact the ad will prove.
2. Build a short voiceover first. Give every sentence one visual proof beat.
3. Choose a graphic system: two type scales, one accent color, one paper or photographic treatment, and one family of arrows, charts, and labels.
4. Gather product photography and any verified data or proof. Never invent statistics.
5. Storyboard the narration as cutouts, diagrams, zooms, highlights, and before/after comparisons.
6. Generate clean background plates and collage assets separately when precise text or charts must be added in editing.
7. Animate with planar moves, scale changes, wipes, masks, and quick camera pushes.
8. Add exact typography, captions, data, and brand marks in the editor.

## Visual rules

- combine product photography with clearly separated paper or graphic layers
- use hierarchy: one claim, one proof image, one directional cue per beat
- keep camera and object motion demonstrative rather than decorative
- use original colors, typography, icons, and layouts
- reserve generated text for rough placement; add exact words in post

## Prompt structure

Open with `Original fast-paced editorial collage product explainer.` Then identify references, state the graphic system, describe the current claim and its visual proof, define the layer motion, and end with `No publication logos. No copied layouts. Leave exact text for post-production.`

## Quality checks

- Can the viewer understand the argument with sound off?
- Does every chart use real supplied data?
- Is the product visually accurate and easy to find?
- Does the sequence feel like one graphic system rather than unrelated collage templates?
