## Before you start

Guidance from Reference, separate from the creator's instructions.

1. Read the reference and inspect the project, installed libraries, and available agent skills before writing code. Reuse suitable tools already present.
2. Prefer the creator-reported libraries and skills when they fit the task. Explain what useful additions help with, and install missing project dependencies or relevant skills from official sources when the environment and the user's existing permissions allow it. Respect the project's package manager and setup rules; do not ask again for routine setup already authorized.
3. Distinguish tools used by the creator from your own recommendations. A listed tool is not automatically required, and an empty tools or requirements list means the setup is unknown, not that nothing is needed.
4. Ask concise questions when missing inputs or choices materially affect the result: paid services, credentials, the user's assets, or a different production approach. Use existing answers and permissions; continue independent work while waiting.
5. If a useful library, skill, or service cannot be installed or used, explain an available alternative and its expected effect on quality, features, or effort. Get the user's choice before a material compromise; otherwise state the fallback and continue. Never silently simplify the result or claim to have used a tool you did not use.

## Recreating this video

This is a visual reference. No original creator prompt is available. The following brief was written by Reference after inspecting the work.

Build a character ensemble with strongly differentiated silhouettes and facial features large enough to communicate emotion at small sizes. Use a pale shared background and repeated bright accent colors to unite outlined, shaded, and textured illustration treatments. Integrate short expressive words as physical parts of selected vignettes, while preserving gaps between figures. For a new subject, replace the animals, foods, props, and phrases with a fresh thematic cast while retaining the expression-first hierarchy.

1. Open the live work or source and inspect the frame images below.
2. Adapt its layout, hierarchy, palette, and interaction patterns to the user's own content and brand.
3. Compare the result against the reference. Use your own assets and credit the original creator.

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator.

Bright, playful vector illustrations of quirky anthropomorphic characters and objects, with expressive faces and simple geometric forms.

- Color: Predominantly pale cyan backgrounds with vivid pink, blue, green, yellow, orange, and purple; dark outlines and small areas of black.
- Type: Flat, cartoon-like digital illustration with clean shapes, bold outlines, and occasional textured or patterned details. Small bits of lettering appear among the characters.
- Framing: Characters are scattered across each panel at varied sizes and angles, with some cropped at the edges and generous background visible between them.
- Structure: A contact sheet of nine rectangular illustrations in a three-by-three grid, separated by narrow dark gutters.
