Create and Animate a Seamless Social Media Carousel

## Stage 1 — Generate the carousel image

Create a seamless, continuous carousel image for the topic “HOW TO CREATE A TRENDING CAROUSEL.” Compose it as one wide 3:2 canvas with two 3:4 portrait panels intended to be split down the center. Do not add seams, borders, or dividers.

Style: luxury editorial, premium infographic, modern Instagram design, vibrant studio atmosphere, high readability, and an expensive minimalist presentation. Use Manrope ExtraBold and Inter Medium typography. Set the scene against architectural stone with cinematic lighting and depth of field.

Place the man from the supplied reference photo slightly left of center, looking to the side. Match his appearance to the reference. Surround him with large, vivid, photorealistic small parrots floating at different depths; some should be in front of him and some behind him, with several crossing the center split. Include octopuses as a prominent visual accent connecting both halves, and floating red, white, and gold fish in the background. Vary the creatures' sizes, with some close to the camera. Keep all text clear of the person's face.

**Left panel:** Add the large white headline “HOW TO CREATE A TRENDING CAROUSEL,” a minimal arrow beneath it, and “${creator-handle:@dailyprompts}” in the upper-left corner. At the bottom left, add a circular arrow icon and the caption “A step-by-step system for creating stylish carousels from scratch.”

**Right panel:** Add the large white text “Just copy and repeat.” In the upper-right corner, add a bookmark icon and “SAVE THIS SO YOU DON’T LOSE IT.”

Keep all left-panel copy and graphics entirely on the left and all right-panel copy and graphics entirely on the right. Use crisp focus and polished, high-end social-media typography.

## Stage 2 — Animate the generated image in Kling

Use the generated carousel image as the starting frame. Keep the camera and composition completely fixed. The man must remain perfectly still, including his face, eyes, hair, clothes, body, and bag.

Keep all text, letters, arrows, icons, the creator handle, the save icon, and other graphic elements completely unchanged. Do not animate, shift, distort, replace, or regenerate them; do not add any text, symbols, or interface elements. Treat the text as a fixed static layer.

Only the fish move. Let them float slowly and smoothly with realistic fin motion and gentle, weightless trajectories. Some fish pass in front of the man and some behind him; some may pass in front of the text and others behind it to create natural depth and parallax. Preserve each fish's appearance, color, and size.

Keep the architecture, floor, walls, lighting, and all other background elements completely still.
