The prompt

Whiteboard animation: the whole frame is a clean white whiteboard, edge to edge, and the girl, the plants, the pots and the city skyline are all black dry-erase marker line drawings on it with a few accents in red and blue marker, the sky left as bare white board, each drawing sketching itself on stroke by stroke as it appears, slight marker streaks and a faint glossy sheen on the board, simple explainer-video character design. On a rooftop garden above a city in late-afternoon sun, a marker-drawn girl with a simple round face and short hair waters potted tomato plants with a marker-drawn watering can. Medium-wide shot at her eye level, three-quarter view, the camera holding still. 0–2s: she tips the watering can over a potted plant and a few blue marker droplets fall onto the leaves. 2–4s: a marker-drawn paper airplane glides in from screen left and lands on the rim of the pot beside her. 4–6s: she sets the can down, picks up the paper airplane and turns it over in her hands. 6–8s: she looks up and out over the city rooftops and smiles as the wind ruffles the leaves and her hair. Throughout: everything stays marker line drawing on a white whiteboard, new lines sketching themselves on as they appear, one continuous take.

Tip

Make the board the whole frame and say the sky is bare white board. The first take drew the figures right but painted a peach sky behind them.
