Here’s the prompt we used:

15-second, 16:9 wuxia ink-silhouette kinetic-typography film, synchronized to foley. Flat black silhouettes on Xuan-paper white; mineral-blue and cinnabar-red accents; paper grain, dry-brush edges, hard masks, layered depth, and causal motion.

TEXT LEDGER — the only readable text:
TITLE 1: "THE LAST DRAW"
TITLE 2: "UNDER THE RAIN"
TITLE 3: "NO ROAD BACK"

Keep titles uppercase, correctly spelled, and legible when locked. Use heavy condensed capitals with sharp geometry and dry-brush texture. Type is the main moving subject, never a subtitle. Each title must enter, transform, lock, and exit on sound.

00:00.0–00:01.2 — Start black. At 00:00.3, a flint-lighter snaps open; its click generates a thin white line with two-frame overshoot and rebound. At 00:00.6, a breath ignites a red flame along it, revealing a flat swordsman with conical hat, robe, and sword. Layer paper texture, figure and flame, and foreground brush fragments. Brief push-in. At 00:01.0, the lighter closes; the flame compresses into a red rectangle and exits as the camera pulls back.

00:01.2–00:03.8 — Four heel strikes construct stone ground, lanterns, roof eaves, and a gate tower at staggered depths; foreground moves fastest. Use two-frame anticipation. After step four, layers overshoot for three frames and lock on gravel. Step five stops; a blue shadow peels from his feet and runs down an alley. Follow low and fast through hard wipes.

00:03.8–00:06.2 — Extreme close-up of a sword draw; no opponent. Guard click creates fragments; metallic draw reveals half of TITLE 1 along the blade; resonance stretches out the rest; a tip droplet locks it. Hand and blade pass before letters while blue circles rotate behind. Three bounces generate white rings. Bounce three splits TITLE 1 into blade strips exiting through multiple depths.

00:06.2–00:09.0 — Bounce three becomes an umbrella tip striking wet ground. A woman opens it on a fabric snap, generating 12 blue/black wedges rotating once at staggered depths. TITLE 2 forms as upper words fall with rain, the lower line unfolds radially, and letters appear through wedge masks. Push up, then make one short clockwise arc. Raindrops displace letters or create ripples. She redirects a staff in five impact-synced poses; impacts cause compression, shear, radial split, reverse rotation, then snap-back. Closing the umbrella collapses TITLE 2 into a two-frame vertical ink line.

00:09.0–00:11.7 — The line becomes a wooden-door seam around a hooded runner. Two knocks generate an overshooting red square and smaller counter-rotating square. On beat three, he runs across rooftops. Track low; each step hard-cuts the background among white, blue, and black. Foreground tiles move fastest. He jumps a ridge; whip-tilt up. Landing creates a two-frame white flash and the only half-beat freeze.

00:11.7–00:13.7 — Hoofbeats break the silence. A black horse circles the runner, drawing a blue arc. Beat one outlines TITLE 3; beat two throws forms forward; the turn bends text on a shallow 3D arc; the stop straightens and locks it. Push in, arc on the neigh, then overshoot-compress-lock. Reverse six frames—rain rises, arcs rewind, particles return, letters split—then snap forward on a downbeat. TITLE 3 reassembles with an impact frame and dry-brush echoes.

00:13.7–00:15.0 — Final triptych: swordsman left, umbrella woman center, runner right. The horse creates a black wipe behind them. At separate depths, TITLE 1 enters by blade cut, TITLE 2 through umbrella wedges, TITLE 3 from a reversed hoof arc. Push through until all are readable. At 00:14.6, the lighter closes and extinguishes them left to right: blade line, umbrella seam, blue hoof arcs into darkness. At 00:15.0, black and silence.

FOLEY-SYNC LAW: Every visual change lands on its visible source’s transient. Use two to four anticipation frames, contact on the transient, then an immediate result. Synchronize type, camera, masks, and depth to all lighter, step, sword, droplet, umbrella, rain, impact, door, landing, and horse sounds. Foley is dry, close, tactile stereo.

MOTION: Use AE-style shape layers, track mattes, dry-brush masks, staggered letters, depth scaling, parented rotation, time remapping, posterized stepping, blur, echo trails, overshoot, reverse motion, impact frames, hard exits, and occlusion. No slow zooms, generic pans, dissolves, floating decoration, unrelated motion, or extra holds.

FAILURE CONTROLS: Preserve the ledger exactly. No extra text, logos, misspellings, duplicates, symbols, broken letters, or unreadable locks. Keep silhouettes flat and anatomically stable, with correct hands and no facial detail. Use only black, white, blue, and restrained red; red is never blood. No gradients, glossy 3D, photorealism, neon, HUDs, extra limbs, deformation, excessive particles, heavy blur, glitches, shake, discontinuity, or impossible occlusion.
