## Prompt

```text
Create an 8-second animated explainer clip.

**Idea to explain:** [ONE IDEA, e.g. how a UPI payment moves from your phone to the shop]
**Visual metaphor:** [e.g. a coin travels along glowing lines from a phone to a shop counter]
**Style:** [flat 2D motion graphics / soft 3D isometric / hand-drawn sketch style]
**Colour palette:** [brand colours: COLOURS / calm blues and greens]
**Pacing:** [one clear step every 2–3 seconds]
**Sound:** [light instrumental / subtle sound effects / silent]
**Aspect ratio:** [16:9 for slides / 9:16 for social]

Rules:
- One idea only; keep the scene simple and uncluttered.
- Smooth, steady motion with clear start and end positions.
- No on-screen text (I will add labels later), no logos.
- No copyrighted characters or real brand interfaces.
```

## What to fill in

- brand colours: COLOURS / calm blues and greens
- one clear step every 2–3 seconds
- light instrumental / subtle sound effects / silent
