Timing & Principles

Exaggeration

A real movement pushed to more extreme scale or timing than realism; visible only as an intensity choice against a realistic version.

Cartoony, playful motion

Prompt

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. Animate [scene] with "Exaggeration": take the movement as it would really happen and push it further — a bigger wind-up, a longer stretch, a harder stop.
It is the same action with the intensity turned up, not a different one: keep the path and the order of events, and enlarge how far and how sharply each of them goes.
Fit it into [duration], and stop just short of the point where the object is no longer recognizable — it should feel cartoony and playful, not broken.
