# Op Art Moiré: motion graphics style

> Two sets of warped concentric rings drift over each other and throb with moiré interference. As their centers converge, the fringes widen and the word condenses out in solid black. Based on 1960s Op Art; for hypnotic intros, music and fashion.

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

```text
Create an Op Art moiré animation for [TEXT] in pure black and white. Fill the frame with two overlapping sets of fine concentric rings, combined so that where they agree the paper stays white and where they disagree it turns black, producing big curving moiré fringes. Both ring sets ripple slightly and keep expanding outward. Inside the letters of [TEXT], shift one ring set by half a line spacing. At the start the two centers are far apart and the screen is a dense, vibrating interference pattern with no readable word; the centers glide together, the fringes swell and flatten, and [TEXT] condenses out as solid black on white. Hold with the centers drifting just slightly apart, then pull them away so the word dissolves back into moiré, and loop.
```

## Visual DNA

- Pure black and white, no gray: only line patterns and their interference
- Two concentric ring gratings with a slow radial ripple
- Moiré fringes that swell and shrink as the ring centers orbit
- Inside the letters one grating shifts half a period, revealing the word
- Rings constantly expanding outward; slight paper grain
