Notebook Paper Battlefield

15 seconds, stylized 2D hand-drawn animation, overhead battlefield on aged yellow lined notebook paper, clear blue horizontal ruled lines and a red left margin line always visible, fine paper grain, pencil marks, ink strokes, minimal classroom-material aesthetic at the start. The entire video must preserve the same paper world from start to finish. No live action, no 3D rendering, no realistic human faces, no modern objects, no narration, no subtitles. Core concept: A childish classroom doodle of an ancient war gradually transforms into a legendary illustrated battlefield, then collapses back into scribbles after the climax. Army design: Two opposing ancient armies drawn first as simple colored stick figures, one faction in red, one faction in blue. Dense infantry blocks with spears and swords, cavalry units with long lances, banner carriers, archers. At first they are crude doodles with simple line limbs and circular heads. As the battle intensifies, they evolve step by step into more detailed inked warriors. Visual progression: 0-3s wide top-down view of notebook-paper battlefield with rough stick-figure armies charging. 3-7s first collision with art style upgrading from stick figures to stronger ink lines. 7-11s full transformation into glorious hand-illustrated ancient war scene, camera pushes into central duel between two opposing generals on horseback. 11-15s peak climax then rapid collapse back into childish rough doodles and scattered marks. Animation: Smooth fluid motion, strong timing, readable silhouettes, at least 24fps feel. Starts playful and curious, grows intense and heroic, peaks as a mythic battlefield, then ends with quiet after the collapse.
