Hypnotic Eye Dive Showreel in Neon Synthwave
<direction>
Make a 20-second psychedelic, hypnotic motion-graphics showreel, 16:9 at 1920x1080 and 60 fps. Everything is drawn and generated: procedural patterns and 3D-rendered forms, no footage and no photos. Cut it to a 120 BPM neon synthwave track. The idea: an eye opens out of a single line, and the camera keeps diving through it into stranger and stranger worlds before it lands on a title. Every frame is driven by time. Sections change on bar lines (every 2 s) behind white flashes, and brightness pulses on the beats keep the picture breathing. The look is deep ink and near-black with neon pink, orange, violet, teal and yellow, soft bloom, light chromatic aberration, fine grain and a vignette, with a thin technical HUD framing everything. All quoted words are examples to replace with yours; keep their lengths close so the layout holds. Avoid footage and stock imagery, flat untextured fills, pure black (darks never go below #0D0B1E), oversaturated colour, and any real names or brands on screen.

<structure>
1. 0.0-4.0 s, the eye. Black, then at 0.3 s a thin glowing lash line appears. The eye is a pointed almond: the lens shape between two overlapping circles, about 0.55 of the frame width. The whole frame around it fills with its contour lines, which are iso-lines of the same two-circle shape on logarithmic steps (each gap about 13% wider than the last). They flow slowly outward and fade with distance: pale lavender, orange and teal near the eye, pink further out, over deep-ink bands. From 0.3 to 0.85 s the eye is a slit. From 0.85 to 1.33 s the lids open (power2.out) while the eye grows from 86% to full size. The iris is fibrous, in orange, peach, mint and violet bands, with a pink edge ring, a teal glow and a ring-shaped highlight upper left; the lids have a soft white inner rim. Beat ripples run out through the lines at 1.5, 1.75, 2.5 and 2.75 s. A centred caption in small letter-spaced mono ("YOUR LINE OF TWENTY-SIX LETTERS") decodes in from 1.4 s at about 45 letters a second and falls apart from the right at 2.8-3.1 s. From 2.75 s the pupil dilates and shows the next scene already playing inside it, while the iris bands shift to violet and yellow. From 3.42 to 3.98 s the camera pushes into the pupil until the inner scene fills the frame at 1:1.
2. 4.0-8.0 s, the tunnel. Cut on a white flash with radial streaks. This is a perspective tunnel of rings spaced so that inverse radius grows by 0.75 per ring. Each ring holds 18 almond eyes with teal outlines, pink and violet irises and a white highlight. Alternate rings sit half a cell apart and turn opposite ways. The rings fly outward at about 11 rings a second with a push on each beat, and the far rings melt into an ink haze around a white core. On every beat a glowing ring leaves the core and grows, in turn white, pink, then teal. From 6.05 to 6.45 s the eyes morph into a polar checkerboard, then into a sunburst of 36 slowly turning rays in muted rainbow colours, with a bright ring around the centre that swells after 7.0 s. From 7.45 to 7.8 s the checker flashes back, and from 7.72 to 7.97 s everything whites out.
3. 8.0-11.33 s, the chrome blob. The white fades away over 0.5 s to reveal an iridescent chrome metaball over dark concentric ripples. It is six spheres in a smooth union: a dark body with thin oil-slick contour bands in teal and pink, a pink rim light and sharp white speculars. It turns and morphs. A vertical chain gathers into a lump, two droplets split off at 9.1-9.5 s, and it crumples at 9.5-9.9 s. From 10.0 s the frame becomes a kaleidoscope stepping through 4, 6, 3, 8, then 10 mirror folds, and a pale arc sweeps outward at 10.0-10.25 s.
4. 11.33-14.0 s, the spiral. A glitch flash, then twelve logarithmic-spiral arms of teardrop cells. Each cell is 1.5x the previous one along its arm, and the arms turn counter-clockwise outward. The cells have double lavender outlines and hold either an iris (teal, pink or orange) or a nested gradient diamond (pink or violet). Thin gold lines trace the arms and rings, and a white core glows at the centre. The spiral zooms toward the centre at about 1 log-unit a second and turns slowly; both moves get a push on each beat, with a brightness pulse on every beat. From 13.82 to 14.0 s a white bloom grows from the centre to fill the frame.
5. 14.0-15.5 s, the sphere room. The white fades over 0.7 s into a 3D room. Arches are made of pearl-like beads, big iridescent spheres line the walls, and flat floor discs carry zigzag op-art stripes in pastel rainbow, all in ink-violet fog. The camera dollies forward and banks to the right.
6. 15.5-16.0 s, montage on sixteenth notes (cuts at 15.5, 15.633, 15.75 and 15.883 s): an iris close-up, the rays, the kaleidoscope and the spiral, each with a small flash.
7. 16.0-18.0 s, the eye again. A white flash with a dark disc at the centre that shrinks to nothing in 50 ms. The camera pulls out of the pupil, with the sphere room visible inside it, to the full eye by 16.32 s. Now the contour lines are thick neon bands: pink near the eye, then violet, then deep ink further out, turning teal over 16.9-17.8 s. The iris is a pastel rainbow ring around a large dark pupil. Beat pulses land at 16.5, 17.0 and 17.5 s. From 17.84 to 17.98 s the eye blinks shut: the bands straighten into horizontal stripes with one bright line in the middle. At 18.0 s everything collapses to dark in 50 ms.
8. 18.1-20.0 s, the title. A word in the wide black grotesk ("YOUR WORD") is fitted to about 1436 px wide and centred. It wipes in left to right with a soft blurred edge over 0.52 s. Its letters are pale (lavender, mint, then blush from left to right) and filled with grain, with a red/blue split settling from 10 to 3 px and a glow tinted violet, teal and pink. At 18.62 s an italic subtitle fades in under it ("your short tagline"). At 19.1 s a tiny letter-spaced mono line decodes above it ("( a short call to action )"). From 19.55 to 19.95 s the word dissolves into noise and the frame fades out.

<composition>
Palette: deep ink #1C0B5D and near-black #0D0B1E for every dark area (backgrounds, bands, the white of the eye). The accents are pink #FB2D89 (main), orange #FE9117, violet #7C6CF2, teal #2DD4B0, yellow #FFD23F and white #FFFFFF. Use light lavender #F0EDFF / #FAF9FF for pale tints and text, muted lavender #9890B4 for small HUD text, and #E9E4F2 for lines. Rainbow elements cycle pink, violet, teal, yellow, orange.
Grade over everything: soft bloom on bright shapes (threshold about 0.7), light radial chromatic aberration toward the corners, fine grain, a vignette and slightly muted saturation. Darks never go below #0D0B1E.
Fonts: Unbounded 900 (a very wide black grotesk) for the title, JetBrains Mono 400/700 at 11-15 px with letter-spacing about 0.3 em for the HUD, and Spectral Italic 400 at about 43 px for the subtitle.
HUD: it sits on top of everything from 1.0 s, fades in over 0.5 s and fades out at 19.6-19.9 s. Thin L-shaped corner brackets sit 28 px from each corner.
- Top left: a name in bold mono ("YOUR NAME") with a tagline under it ("YOUR TAGLINE").
- Top right, right-aligned: a chapter counter ("01 / 07") and a bold chapter label ("FIRST CHAPTER"), changing at each section.
- Bottom left: a timecode "TC 00:00:SS:FF" counting frames at 60 fps, and "120 BPM · bar.beat.sixteenth" (for example 02.3.3).
- Bottom right: four 8 px squares with the current beat lit white, and a short credit in bold (for example "YOURSITE.COM").
- A 1.5 px progress line runs between the bottom brackets and fills with the playhead.

<techniques>
- Decode text: at every section start the chapter counter and label decode letter by letter in 0.38 s. Each letter scrambles through glyphs like # % & = + @ < | / $ at 30 changes a second and resolves left to right. The caption and the call to action use the same decode, and the caption falls apart from the right the same way.
- Section flashes: each white flash with radial streaks decays as 0.94 / (1 + (t / 0.07)^2.5).
- Pupil push (3.42-3.98 s): the zoom accelerates exponentially, with log zoom = 5.5·x² / (x + 0.1) over the move. The next scene plays inside the pupil and ends exactly at 1:1, so the cut is seamless. The pull-out at 16.0 s mirrors it.
- Beat pushes: the tunnel speed, the spiral zoom and turn, and the ripples and rings get a kick on every beat, with brightness pulses on the beats.
- Morphs instead of cuts inside scenes: eyes to checkerboard to sunburst, the metaball chain to lump to droplets to crumple, then the kaleidoscope fold counts stepping 4, 6, 3, 8, 10.
- Transitions: white-outs and fades from white on bar lines, a glitch flash into the spiral, a white bloom from the centre into the sphere room, sixteenth-note flash cuts in the montage, a 50 ms collapse to dark before the title.
- Title: a left-to-right soft-edged wipe, an RGB split easing from 10 to 3 px, then a noise dissolve and fade at the end.

<music>
Neon synthwave at 120 BPM in A minor, one chord per bar (2 s): Am F for the intro, then Am F C G Am, F in the breakdown, G on the return, Am at the end. The kick lands exactly on the picture's beats (every 0.5 s).
- 0-4 s: a bell figure in eighths over a warm pad, with a long riser and a reversed cymbal, no drums.
- At 4.0 s: a four-on-the-floor kick, an octave-jumping eighth-note bass and a saw arpeggio in sixteenths. The bass and arpeggio pump with the kick.
- From 8.0 s: a big reverbed snare on two and four, off-beat hats and a square lead holding long notes, with a snare fill into 14.0 s.
- 14.0-16.0 s: the drums and bass drop out, the pad swells, and a filtered arpeggio rises with a 32nd-note snare roll into 16.0 s.
- At 16.0 s: everything slams back.
- The drums stop half a beat before 18.0 s, and one ringing A minor add9 chord carries the end card.
