Ink and Vermilion Tea Motion Graphics

Anime · Seedance 2.5 · EZ ·

A 12-cut, 15-second graphic spot for a tea brand built on huge hanzi, ink-wash shapes and red seal stamps. Every cut has its own time code, so the pacing is fully specified.

Preview frame of the original video: Ink and Vermilion Tea Motion Graphics

Prompt

Create a 12-cut motion-graphics spot in 16:9, 24fps, exactly 15s. Theme: Chinese tea ceremony, modern oriental design. This film is 80% bold graphic design in motion and 20% object action. Palette: ink black, rice-paper white, vermilion red, muted gold. Style: modern Chinese minimalism — ink-wash textures meet flat geometric shapes; red seal stamps are the transition device. CUT 01 | 0.0-1.2s - White void. A single giant Chinese character 「茶」 brush-strokes itself into existence, ink bleeding at the edges. CUT 02 | 1.2-2.4s - Hard cut: a vermilion circle expands from center; the character punches through it in white. CUT 03 | 2.4-3.6s - Top-down teacup on black; steam rises and morphs into flowing ink ribbons. CUT 04 | 3.6-5.0s - Ink ribbons snap into a horizontal row of geometric tea leaves sliding left on beat. CUT 05 | 5.0-6.2s - Giant 「静」 in muted gold on black; snap zoom onto the final brush stroke. CUT 06 | 6.2-7.6s - Teapot silhouette pours; the pour-line becomes a vermilion diagonal splitting the frame. CUT 07 | 7.6-9.0s - Split frame: ink mountains left, flat vermilion right; a white teacup slides along the divide. CUT 08 | 9.0-10.4s - A red seal stamp SLAMS down with frame shake, revealing 「回甘」 in white inside the seal. CUT 09 | 10.4-11.8s - Rapid-fire alternation: three tea leaves, three geometric shapes, on beat. CUT 10 | 11.8-13.0s - All elements collapse into one spinning ink circle. CUT 11 | 13.0-14.0s - The circle resolves into the teacup; one drop falls; slow-motion ripple. CUT 12 | 14.0-15.0s - End card: 「茶」 large, small English "TEA — est. in stillness" below, red seal bottom-right, hold. Typography rule: every character is fully readable for at least 12 frames before anything overlaps it. Use as few Chinese characters as possible, large size only. Editing: hard cuts on beat, graphic matches, snap zooms, ink-splash wipes. Audio: guzheng pluck + modern percussion; SFX locked to cuts (brush swoosh, seal slam, water drop). DO NOT: extra glyphs, misspelled or deformed hanzi, rainbow gradients, 3D bevel text, photoreal footage, added characters.

Shot breakdown

Subject
Giant hanzi (茶, 静, 回甘), a teacup, a teapot silhouette and geometric tea leaves; no people.
Action
A brush stroke writes the character, a vermilion circle punches through it, steam turns into ink ribbons, a seal slams down, and a single drop ends on a ripple.
Camera
Twelve hard cuts of roughly 1 to 1.4 seconds on the beat, with snap zooms, a top-down cup shot and a split-frame composition.
Style
Four-colour palette of ink black, rice-paper white, vermilion and muted gold; flat geometry mixed with ink-wash texture.
Sound
Guzheng plucks over modern percussion, with sound effects locked to the cuts: brush swoosh, seal slam, water drop.

Make it yours

  • If you shorten to 10 seconds, drop cuts 09 and 10 first rather than squeezing every cut, so each character still gets its 12 readable frames.
  • To retarget another product, swap 茶 / 静 / 回甘 for your own one-to-two-character words and keep the line 'Use as few Chinese characters as possible', or glyphs tend to deform.
  • For a vertical social version, change 16:9 to 9:16 and turn the left/right split in cut 07 into a top/bottom split.
