integrated_multimodal_description: Create a complete 15-second Japanese folk-tale explainer in
a vertical 9:16 composition, telling the story of the monkey and the crab. Use friendly 2D
flat-vector picture-book illustration: thick, even, near-black outlines of consistent weight,
flat solid color fills, no shading, simple dot eyes and small curved mouths, restrained cutout
animation, and a light paper grain over the flat color fields. Use a compact palette of warm
off-white, fresh grass green, warm persimmon orange, deep indigo blue and vermilion red, with
near-black outlines. Background color changes mark the chapters of the story. Keep the whole
film gentle and suitable for children. No photorealism, no 3D rendering, no gradients, no drop
shadows, no browser interface, no screen-recording artifacts, and no player controls.
[Shot 1] Begin on a warm off-white background. A round red crab with two round eyes on short
stalks and small claws stands at the left holding a rice ball, and a slim brown monkey with a
red face stands at the right holding a single persimmon seed; they meet in the middle and look
at each other. Then the Japanese caption "むかしむかし" appears at the top of the frame,
sliding in gently word by word.
[Shot 2] At 00:01.500, staying on warm off-white, the monkey holds out the seed and the crab
hands over the rice ball, the two swapping in one clear movement. The monkey then turns and
walks away toward the frame-right edge holding the rice ball high.
[Shot 3] At 00:03.000, a fresh grass-green field wipes across the frame. The crab digs a small
hole with its claw and drops the seed in, then pats the soil flat. The Japanese caption
"はやく めを だせ" appears in near-black type beside it.
[Shot 4] At 00:04.500, staying on grass green, a sprout pushes up and the plant grows taller in
three clear steps until it is a full persimmon tree. The crab tilts back to look up at it.
[Shot 5] At 00:06.000, a warm persimmon-orange field wipes across the frame. Round orange
persimmons appear all over the branches, filling them. The crab reaches up with both claws
toward the fruit and cannot get anywhere near it.
[Shot 6] At 00:07.500, staying on persimmon orange, the monkey climbs quickly up the trunk into
the branches. Sitting up there, it eats one persimmon after another all by itself while the
crab watches from the ground.
[Shot 7] At 00:09.000, a deep indigo-blue field wipes across the frame. The monkey throws a
hard green unripe persimmon down from the branches. It hits the crab, which tips over onto its
back with its legs in the air, unhurt and simply stuck.
[Shot 8] At 00:10.500, staying on indigo blue, a spiky brown chestnut, a striped yellow and
black bee and a heavy wooden mortar arrive one at a time from the edges of the frame. The three
of them line up beside the crab, facing frame-right.
[Shot 9] At 00:12.000, a vermilion-red field wipes across the frame. The chestnut springs up
and bumps the monkey, who jumps in surprise, and then the heavy wooden mortar drops down from
the top of the frame right in front of it.
[Shot 10] At 00:13.500, a warm persimmon-orange field wipes in and settles back to warm
off-white. The monkey bows its head low to the crab in apology, and all of them share the
persimmons together in a circle. The closing caption "めでたし めでたし" appears in large
near-black type, assembling in two stages and holding cleanly until exactly 15.000 seconds.

overall_soundscape: A light rustle of soil accompanies the planting, followed by a soft creak
as the tree grows and gentle taps as the persimmons appear. Paper-like pops mark each caption
and each new arrival. Short restrained whooshes carry the color-field wipes, with a hollow
thump as the crab tips over, a springy boing as the chestnut jumps, a deep wooden thud as the
mortar lands, and warm rustling as the fruit is shared. No dialogue.

non_diegetic_music: Generate an original 15-second Japanese folk-tale jingle using shinobue
bamboo flute, plucked shamisen, light taiko drums and small hand bells at a moderate walking
tempo. Begin bright and playful over the off-white opening, turn gentle and hopeful over the
green growing section, brighten again on the orange fruit, drop low and quiet over the indigo
section, become brisk and comic over the red section, and resolve into a warm final chord at
exactly 15.000 seconds.
