Frame from Light experiments through history
Full educational film promptFull
I want you to build an educational cartoon that is artistic, visually stunning, creative, and educational at the same time. Watching this video should feel like something new. A new way to learn. Memorable. Exceptional.

I want to learn the history of light - as it was studied, and by whom. The debates. Wave. Particle. Both. Neither. Take us through the history of light and educate us on the current understanding at that time, what people believed, who dissented, how long people thought that way? Cover about the experiments. Cover the particle/wave duality in depth.

I want you to generate the music and voices. Use 3.8 flash tts and use a slow distinguished english accent from 100 years ago. Work in a loop until you have achieved excellence. You may call as many subagents as needed; however, only use opus 5.5 on high reasoning when writing any code, or writing any of the story, nothing else should be used for those but opus 5.5.

Take your time, you have as many tokens as you need. i want this to spark curiosity in all who watch.
