Input

$ARGUMENTS

Questionnaire

If not answered by the input, ask:

1. What topic? — What are we explaining?
2. Source? — URL, doc, or should I research it?
3. Tone? — Default: Fireship (fast, punchy, conversational). Other options: corporate, casual, technical.

Script

Write a 5-scene script. Present it for approval before building. Each scene needs:

• One-line headline (on screen)
• Voiceover script (exact narrator words)
• Visual description (what to animate — diagrams, flowcharts, icons, step-by-step)

Scene Structure

• Scene 1: Hook — grab attention, state the problem or question
• Scene 2: What it is — define the concept simply
• Scene 3: How it works — the mechanism, with animated diagram or flowchart
• Scene 4: Why it matters — benefits, stats, or comparison
• Scene 5: CTA — what to do next, link on screen

Visual Approach

• SVG-based diagrams and icons for primary visuals.
• If b-roll is used, treat it as a background layer that supports (not replaces) the core diagram-driven explanation.
• Diagrams draw themselves (stroke-dashoffset animation)
• Key numbers use count-up animation
• Each scene has a clear visual metaphor — not walls of text
