🎬 The explainer video: the prompt

🎯 What this video does

It is a 90-second "how it works" video. It plays in the site's ❓ Guide pop-up and in the README. It explains 4 things: 1️⃣ how to use the site, 2️⃣ what it does, 3️⃣ the automation core, 4️⃣ the phone widget.

🔢 How to use this prompt

  1. 📋 Copy the master prompt below into your video tool.
  2. 🎞️ Make the 8 shots one at a time. Use the shot prompts.
  3. ✂️ Put the shots together. Add the narration and the captions.
  4. 💾 Save the video as site/assets/explainer.mp4. Save one frame as site/assets/explainer-poster.jpg.
  5. 🏗️ Run python3 scripts/build_site.py. The pop-up now plays your video.
🧰 Good tools for this
  • AI video: Runway, Kling, Veo or Sora. Make one shot at a time.
  • Math-style 3D: Manim (the 3Blue1Brown tool) for the flow graph and the number line.
  • Manga frames: draw the Guide in Procreate or Clip Studio. Or use an image model. Then animate.

💎 Master prompt

Make a 90-second, 16:9, 1920x1080, 30 fps explainer video called "Crypto L2 Daily: How It Works."

STYLE: 3Blue1Brown-style clean 3D math animation (deep black space, smooth slow camera moves, objects
that morph, glowing vector arrows, number lines, flow graphs) fused with Japanese-American manga and anime
(cel-shaded characters, bold ink outlines, screentone dots, speed lines, impact frames, panel-split
transitions, small chibi reaction moments). Premium, calm, clever. Not noisy.

PALETTE: black #0A0A0B, platinum #E5E4E2, holographic foil gradient (gold #F3D77A -> mint #9FF5C8 ->
ice #A7E8FF -> lilac #C9B6FF -> blush #FFD1EC), gold #D4AF37, money green #85BB65. Nothing else.

DESIGN DETAILS: banknote art (guilloche rosette line patterns, microprint borders, serial numbers like
"No. CL2-20261005-08", big denomination numbers 01 to 05 for steps). Industrial streetwear details: labels in
quotation marks like "VIDEO", "CARDS", "WIDGET"; black-and-platinum diagonal stripe tape; arrows.
Calligraphy script for one word per title (like a banknote signature) plus bold condensed capitals.

HERO OBJECT: a holographic platinum torus knot with gold and green glowing seams, a gold core, two orbit
rings (gold, green), floating dust, and comets that curve around it by gravity.

CHARACTER: "The Guide": a friendly smiling young person with multi-color locs, platinum bomber jacket,
gold chain, drawn in manga style. The Guide points, explains and reacts. No real person's face.

NARRATION: warm, clear voice. Short, simple sentences (ASD-STE100 style). Easy for an 8-year-old.
CAPTIONS: burned in, Atkinson Hyperlegible font, platinum text, gold highlight on key words.
MUSIC: soft lo-fi synth with light taiko hits on scene changes. Low under the voice.

DO NOT: show real logos (no X, Nike, Off-White or bank logos), real banknotes, real people, price
predictions, made-up posts, or the words "buy" or "invest".

🎞️ The 8 shots

#⏱️ Time🎨 What we see🎙️ Narration (say it like this)
010:00–0:08Black space. The holographic knot spins in. A manga impact frame flashes. Calligraphy "Crypto L2" writes itself in gold. "DAILY" slams in, in big platinum capitals."This is Crypto L2 Daily. It is a robot that makes the news."
020:08–0:20A 3D clock hits 6:00 PM. A river of glowing post cards flows past. 4 coin tokens rise up: ⚡ gold, 🐕 green, 🔒 platinum, 🪙 ice blue."Every day at 6 PM, the robot reads X. It looks for real posts about 4 coins."
030:20–0:32The core, part 1. A 3Blue1Brown flow graph. Nodes 01 to 05 light up in turn: Collect, Check, Video, Human check, Publish."It follows 5 steps. Collect. Check. Make the video. A human check. Publish."
040:32–0:45The core, part 2. A filter funnel. Junk cards ("price guess", "ad", "copy") bounce off with speed lines. A chibi Guide sweeps them away. A calendar number line: an October post tries to jump into July. A gold arrow blocks it."The robot removes ads, price guesses and copies. It checks every date. Old posts stay out."
050:45–1:00How to use it. A laptop and a phone show the site. Big numbers appear: 1 press play, 2 read the cards, 3 tap a card. The real post opens."To use it: press play. Read the cards. Tap a card to see the real post."
061:00–1:12The course. Obsidian note pages fly out of a book into the website. Question cards flip. 💡 Hint glows gold. ✅ Answer glows green."Want to learn how it works? Open the course. Tap a hint. Then tap the answer."
071:12–1:24The widget. An iPhone Home Screen. A small black platinum card slides in. It shows the Bitcoin price, the fee and a headline. A "TEST FEATURE" stripe tape label."You can also put a small card on your phone. It shows the price, the fee and today's news."
081:24–1:30The knot shrinks into a banknote seal. A serial number types out. The signature "NOT2L8" writes in gold script."Real posts. Real sources. Every day. Not too late. Always forward."

Step 2 of 4

What it does

Every day at 6 PM, a robot reads X. X is a social media app.

The robot finds real posts about 4 coins: Bitcoin, Dogecoin, Monero and Litecoin.

Then it makes a 70-second video and a set of cards. Every card shows who posted and when.

If no sampled posts pass the filters, the card says "Quiet today." Other news may exist.

Step 3 of 4

The core

This is the automation. It runs by itself every day.

1⏰ At 6 PM, a timer on the Mac starts the robot.
2🔎 The robot collects posts from the last 24 hours.
3🧹 It removes ads, price guesses and copies.
4🎬 It makes the video and adds a voice.
5🌐 It puts the video online. Then it checks that the page loads.
Step 4 of 4

Phone widget

You can put a small card on your phone. It shows the Bitcoin price, the fee and today's top news.

It uses the free Scriptable app on iPhone. This is a test feature.
