Replace [scene] with the shot and [duration] with how long it should take, then paste the prompt into your AI agent. Each prompt includes the name of the technique, so next time you can simply ask for it by name.
This is for a motion graphics video. Start the move in [scene] with "Anticipation" (also called a wind-up or back in): the object first pulls back a little in the opposite direction, then launches into the main move.
The pull-back belongs to the start, before the object leaves — it is the mirror of an overshoot, which runs past the target at the end.
Fit the wind-up and the move into [duration], keeping the pull-back small and unhurried so the launch that follows feels fast.
