Short educational/presentational 2D animation

---

Overview: A 15-second 2D animation comparing whale entanglement with two different types of rope. Style: Simple 2D, cartoonish (expressive whale, clean lines). Elements: North Atlantic right whale, ocean, buoy, lobster pot, buoy lines of different colors Motion: Smooth swimming motion for whale; rope in Part 1 flexes and twists, while Part 2’s rope stays more rigid and slides. Storyboard Details: Part 1: Traditional Rope Frame 1: A North Atlantic right whale swims in a blue ocean (side view). A vertical endline with a buoy at the surface and a lobster pot on the ocean floor appears ahead. Visual: Whale approaching, buoy line slightly wavy (flexible rope). Frame 2: The whale brushes its side against the buoy line, which wraps around its flipper and tightens. Visual: Rope tangling, whale’s expression shifts to distress. Frame 3: The whale struggles, fully entangled, dragging the buoy and pot. Visual: Whale angled downward, rope taut. Caption fades in: “Traditional Rope”. Part 2: Solid Synthetic Rope Frame 1: Same whale swims toward an identical buoy line setup (buoy and pot). Visual: Buoy line is straighter, stiffer (solid synthetic rope). Frame 2: The whale brushes against the buoy line, which slides smoothly over its back due to stiffness, no entanglement. Visual: Line bends slightly but doesn’t wrap, whale keeps swimming. Frame 3: The whale swims off with a subtle smile, buoy line returns to vertical. Visual: Whale happy, free. Caption fades in: “Solid Synthetic Rope”. Colors: Ocean blue background, gray-black whale, orange buoy, green traditional rope, blue SSR. Deliverables: Final video in MP4 format, 1080p resolution.
