Paper Fox Across the Ink River AI video prompt example

[Style] Original layered paper-cut animation with visible fibers, ink-wash backgrounds, handcrafted shadows, limited but elegant motion.
[00:00-00:04] A small geometric paper fox reaches the edge of a river painted in flowing black ink. On the opposite bank, a single white flower begins closing at sunset.
[00:04-00:09] The fox folds its tail into a paper boat. Ink waves rise into sharp calligraphic shapes while the camera tracks sideways like a moving scroll.
[00:09-00:13] The boat tears in half. The fox jumps across floating fragments as each one dissolves into ink behind it.
[00:13-00:15] The fox reaches the flower and curls around it. The entire monochrome world blooms into original red and gold paper layers.
