Viral Mascot Reels Grid

Goal: Create a wide social-media analytics collage showing a grid of viral vertical video thumbnails featuring two recurring 3D animated mascot characters, one yellow and one purple, in emotional cinematic scenes.

Canvas: Extra-wide landscape screenshot composition, approximately 3:1 aspect ratio, dark app-like background with six tall vertical reel thumbnails cropped side by side. Use a polished Instagram/Reels discovery-page feel, with high-quality animated-film lighting and dramatic storytelling thumbnails.

Layout: Show exactly 6 visible vertical video cards across the canvas, separated by thin dark gutters. Each card has a small white eye/play-style icon with a view count overlay near the top or bottom. Add exactly 2 bright neon-green rectangular highlight boxes around high-performing view-count labels: one around “989K” near the lower left, and one around “1.2M” near the lower right.

Subject details: The recurring heroes are two smooth, rounded, faceless-but-expressive humanoid cartoon characters: {argument name="yellow character" default="a glowing golden-yellow humanoid mascot"} and {argument name="purple character" default="a soft lavender-purple humanoid mascot"}. They have simple black oval eyes, rounded heads, childlike bodies, and Pixar-like expressive poses. No clothing except occasional props.

Six thumbnail scenes, left to right:
1. A nighttime mountain or lake scene where the purple character looks frightened while stepping forward near water or rocks, with the yellow character lower in the frame; overlay view counts “15K” at the top and “989K” at the bottom, with the bottom count highlighted in green.
2. A bright beach scene with the yellow character walking along the shoreline in the distance while the purple character relaxes on a striped towel wearing dark sunglasses; overlay view counts “225K” at the top and “365K” near the bottom.
3. A dim bedroom scene where the purple character sits close to camera holding a phone while the yellow character stands behind with arms crossed and an angry expression; overlay view counts “18K” at the top and “26.7K” near the bottom.
4. A dark dramatic scene where the purple character is wrapped in heavy silver chains, looking sad and trapped; overlay view counts “148K” at the top and “557K” near the bottom.
5. A warm inspirational living-room scene with sunlight streaming through a doorway, showing the yellow character standing confidently in the background while the purple and yellow characters sit at a laptop in the foreground; include the bold white caption {argument name="thumbnail caption" default="LIVE SO YOUR FUTURE SELF HAS NOTHING TO REGRET"} and overlay view count “1.2M” highlighted in green.
6. The far-right edge continues the warm scene crop, showing dark app margins and a small partial label near the bottom reading “Perfection.”

Visual style: High-quality 3D animation, cinematic lighting, glossy soft materials, emotional storytelling, viral motivational short-video thumbnail aesthetic, strong contrast between purple and golden-yellow characters, realistic depth of field, dramatic rim lights, polished social media screenshot realism.

Constraints: Include exactly 6 vertical thumbnails, exactly 10 visible view-count labels total: “15K”, “225K”, “18K”, “148K”, “24K”, “989K”, “365K”, “26.7K”, “557K”, and “1.2M”. Keep all UI text white, use black translucent overlay bars at the top and bottom, and do not add extra characters or extra view counts.
