Documentary lower thirds

How it was made

FrameCall's Quality model made this video from one prompt, in one run, with no hand edits. The prompt, word for word:

Make a 24-second opening for a documentary called 'Salt Roads', about a family that still harvests sea salt by hand on the Atlantic coast, and use it to show off the film's lower-third package: one design system that handles every kind of on-screen text the film needs. Shoot it as one continuous, unhurried camera move along a single long illustrated landscape, painted in a soft, grainy risograph style in sea-grey, chalk white and one rust accent: dawn over the salt marshes with their mirror-like pans, along the wooden walkways past a stone hut, to a salt worker raking a white mound, then rising to a wide view of the marsh at full morning light. Along the way the package appears five times, each one appearing only once the camera has settled. First a location tag: 'Guérande, France' over 'June, 4:52 am'. Then the name super when we reach the worker: 'Mathilde Rocher' over 'Paludière, third generation', set on her side of the frame. Then a subtitle as she speaks, in two lines at the bottom centre: 'My grandmother said the salt only comes when the wind agrees.' Then a short pull quote set larger beside her: 'The sea does most of the work.' Last a chapter title as the camera rises: 'Part one' over 'The harvest'. Every one of them is clearly the same family: the same typeface pairing, a condensed sans for the main line and a calm serif italic for the second, the same thin rust hairline that draws in first and the same soft rise of the words from behind it, and the same way of leaving, the hairline retracting a little faster than it came. Each one holds completely still while the camera keeps drifting, long enough to read twice, and the longer lines stay longer. Keep all text well inside the edges of the frame and never over a face. The marsh should feel alive under the text: water shimmering in the pans, wind moving the grass, a few birds crossing far away. No corner HUD text, no glow, no lens flares.
