# Murmuration Flock: motion graphics style

> A murmuration of a thousand birds swoops across a sunset sky, then the flock unrolls and every bird hovers in place to spell the word before bursting free. Boids flocking, for travel, nature and community brands.

## Prompt (replace [TEXT] with your text)

```text
Animate the word [TEXT] with a flock of birds. Over a thousand tiny dark-plum bird silhouettes, each flapping its V-shaped wings, fly as a murmuration driven by simple separation, alignment and cohesion rules, so the swarm stretches, folds and swoops across a warm peach-to-coral sunset sky with a pale low sun and layered mauve hills. After a few seconds the flock unrolls and every bird glides to its own spot inside tall condensed letterforms spelling [TEXT], then hovers there, flapping gently, so the word is made entirely of birds. Hold, then release them in a ripple from left to right; birds peel off and rejoin the swirling murmuration before the next loop.
```

## Visual DNA

- A thousand flapping birds steered by separation, alignment and cohesion
- Characteristic murmuration blob that stretches, folds and swoops
- Flock unrolls into tall condensed letterforms, each bird hovering in place
- Release ripples left to right, birds peeling off back into the swarm
- Peach-to-coral sunset sky, pale sun and soft mauve hills
