# Slice & Split: motion graphics style

> The word is cut into horizontal bands that jump, slide apart and snap back together on a strict beat, mixing hard cuts with fast expo slides. A Swiss-grid take on kinetic type for fashion films, conference openers and brand loops.

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

```text
Set [TEXT] in a black-weight neo-grotesque, capitals, tight tracking, huge and centered on off-white paper, with thin grid labels numbering the slices in the margin. Cut the word into seven equal horizontal bands and animate them to a strict 120 bpm beat: hold the whole word, then hard-cut to bands shifted alternately left and right, snap back with a fast exponential slide, cut to a staircase offset, slide to the mirrored staircase, recombine. Next, every other band inverts to electric blue with paper-white letters; the bands spread apart vertically, fly off in opposite directions, hard-cut back in from the other sides and lock together. Hold clean between moves so the word reads most of the time. Graphic, precise, seamless loop.
```

## Visual DNA

- Seven horizontal slices of one ultra-black grotesque word
- Hard cuts to offset layouts alternating with snappy expo slides
- Alternate slices invert to electric blue with paper-white letters
- Slices spread vertically, fly off in opposite directions and re-enter
- Off-white paper, black ink, blue accent, numbered grid labels
