Breezy oi! It’s International Kite Flying Day so I wanted a colourful map that simply uses kites in an illustrative manner. The first static map was fairly simple, and very easily made. But I then imagined the map with movement and wondered if it could be animated. Turns out that’s well within the capabilities.

Original Prompt (ChatGPT)

I want to create a map to celebrate International Kite Day. Please create a world map where each country is formed of a collage of brightly coloured kites. There should also be numerous kites flying around the map and the entire illustration should appear like it’s been drawn on a breezy day, perfect for kite flying.

Are you able to animate any of the kites? What I’d like is the peripheral kites and their tails to shimmer, perhaps with a little light shimmering effect. This is for embedding in a web page so just a short looped MP4 will suffice.
