Create a 60-second motion-graphic explainer video on the history of the printing press, from its origins to the present day. [Roles] - Higgsfield: creates every image in the video (still images only). - You: create all motion graphics and animation. [Style] Newspaper cutouts with mixed-media collage, highly polished: layered paper cutouts, torn edges, halftone textures, soft shadows, and bold editorial typography. [Rules] - Keep every fact and date accurate. - No text inside the Higgsfield images. Add all text yourself as animated typography. - Keep the look consistent across every scene. - End on the opening frame so the video loops. Never end on a hard cut.
