Project Title:
5–7 Minute Animated Economics Explainer (animated film look) with voiceover.

Project Summary:
I need a high-quality 5–7 minute animated explainer video for university economics students. The video is a storytelling cartoon narrated by a character (“Professor Hoot,” an owl economics professor) explaining Argentina’s Soy-Dollar scheme topic: macro context, why it exists, how it works, benefits vs trade-offs, and long-run credibility lessons.

Style & Quality Reference:
- High-end, family-friendly 3D animated film look (original style).
- Clean visuals, cinematic lighting, expressive characters.
- Easy to understand, engaging.

Target Length & Format:
- Duration: 5–7 minutes
- Output: MP4, 1920×1080 (16:9), 25 or 30 fps
- Language: English
- Subtitles: English SRT (+ optional burned-in captions)

What I Will Provide:
- Final voiceover script (already written)
- A list of required facts + data sources + visuals (charts, info, stats)

Your Deliverables:
- Final edited video (MP4, 1080p, 16:9)
- Subtitle file (.SRT)
- Voiceover audio (AI voice or human VO - see below)
- Data visuals embedded in the video (charts/screenshots recreated cleanly)
- Rolling / end credits sources section (10–20 seconds)
- Editable project files (preferred): After Effects/Premiere/Blender/etc.

Data / Research Visualization Requirements (Must Include):
The video must include simple, readable data visuals (as clean barcharts/line charts or “screenshot-style” panels) to support credibility. Data visuals should be styled consistently and readable on mobile.

Minimum required source/data visuals:
- Inflation spike (line chart): Argentina inflation showing 2023 peak (with sourced number)
- Exports and soy share (pie chart or bar): total exports (2024) and soy complex share (~¼)
- Two exchange rates concept (visual panel): official vs parallel rate gap (illustrative snapshot)
- Soy-dollar window (timeline card): short “limited-time program window” visual
- Reserves change (small bar/line): reserves rising around Sept 2022 program (sourced)
- Trade-offs panel (icons + mini charts): timing shift + expectations loop + inflation pressure

Voiceover Requirements:
- AI voice (natural, professor tone)
- Voice tone: warm, confident professor, light humor (1–2 jokes max).
- Pacing: ~140–150 wpm, with short pauses at key learning points.

Content Requirements:
- Use “Professor Hoot” owl character consistently across scenes.
- Keep tone neutral and academic (no political commentary).
- End with a final slide of 5 key takeaways (I will provide exact text).
- Total runtime must stay under 7 minutes.

Timeline:
- First draft: 8-10 hours after project award
- Final delivery: 24 hours after revisions
