Here are my shot prompts for one explainer: [PASTE PROMPTS]. Check them for visual continuity: palette, lighting direction, camera style and setting.

Keep each prompt to one subject and one action and keep the no-text and no-logo rules.

Flag any beat that needs accurate on-screen text, real UI or real people, because those should not be AI-generated. Total must add to 90 seconds.
