Make a 10-second color shadow-puppet play about 【Cao Chong Weighs the Elephant】. Silhouette layout, warm backlight shining through, jointed puppets. The scale pan, bronze bowl, and stones appear in turn: first balance it, then weigh the stones in batches and add them up. Captions pop in on the beat. Render it with code and export a playable video.

Make a 12-second isometric 2.5D process animation about 【How Parcels Get Sorted】. Packages move along the sorting line, loading dock, flatbed transport, and customs checkpoint, with a numbered label for each step; finally the two lines merge into one. Clean and easy to follow.

Make a 10-second scale comparison placing 【Earth, Jupiter, and the Sun】 on screen together at their true radii. The camera smoothly pulls back, the first object shrinks, and it lands the point: 「太阳底下约有 130 万个地球」 (「About 1.3 million Earths fit inside the Sun」). Clear numeric labels.

Make a 10-second whiteboard hand-drawn animation. Black marker on a white background draws, stroke by stroke, 【a stick figure flinging 5 steamed buns in a row】, with red used only to highlight key points. The satisfaction particles get bigger each time, until the corners are completely filled. Caption: 第 1 个,满足感拉满 (No. 1, satisfaction maxed out).

Make a 10-second cinematic WebGL evolution of a Chinese character, theme 【火 (fire)】. Tortoise shell, bronze, ink, and firelight textures. 「火」 continuously morphs from oracle-bone script to lightning, a torch, and then modern lighting, corresponding to 炎, 烈, 焰.

Use three.js to make a 12-second exploded view taking apart 【a phone】. The shell, mid-frame, and chips burst apart in layers, the camera orbits and pushes in, and parts are labeled with dashed leader lines. Can be swapped for any structure.

Make a 10-second 16-bit pixel-art take on the idiom 【黄粱一梦 (the Yellow Millet Dream)】. Taking a wife, passing the imperial exam, taming the river, going off to war — each segment about 1.6 seconds with hard cuts, finally returning to reality. Caption: 第二年,考中进士,当上了官 (The next year, he passed the imperial exam and became an official).

Make a 10-second picture-book-style science explainer about 【How a Little Goldfish Swims】. Crayon lines with colored-pencil shading, jittering lines, symmetrical eyes, gills, and tail fin, with the tail swaying to the beat. Paper texture.

Make a 10-second 3Blue1Brown-style math visualization about 【the Area of a Circle】. Dark background; the circle is cut into 8, 16, and 32 sectors that actually move and reassemble into a rectangle. The formula appears term by term and freezes on πr².

Make a 10-second ancient-map animation about 【Chang'an to Dunhuang】. Parchment, light-ink mountain paths, a vermilion route drawn in one stroke, labeled with distances and a one-line explanation, finished with a seal stamp. The camera can zoom.

Make a 10-second Kurzgesagt-style infographic about 【Folding Paper in Half: How Thick?】. Clean graphics, big numbers: folded 2 times, thickness 0.4 mm, thickness ×2. The camera pushes in at a steady rhythm until the end point.

Make a 10-second flat motion graphic about 【Precipitation】. Solid-color geometry, no outlines. Tiny water droplets in the cloud gather and grow bigger and bigger, then fall. Two light/dark phases, cartoon clouds.

Make a 10-second beat-synced kinetic typography piece, 120 BPM, about 【the Feynman Technique】. Each word hits on a beat, orange text cutting in on a black background. The four steps slam in one after another, with a final hammer blow: 讲不清楚,就是没真懂 (If you can't explain it clearly, you don't really understand it).

Make a 10-second comic-panel animation about 【A Window Got Broken】. Black-and-white halftone plus one red. In class, getting caught, rushing out of the classroom — hard cuts between panels, with the last panel landing the point.

Make a 12-second horizontal timeline about 【From Dartmouth to ChatGPT】. The camera advances along the axis, nodes scale up and light up. Large year numbers plus a one-line event. Example node: 1971,又过了 41 年 (1971, another 41 years later).

For best results, run it with Claude Opus 5.5.
