Do I Need It? A Crossed Out Shopping Cart
A 15 second minimalist short about the everyday pressure to buy things we do not need. A single line draws a shopping cart on a clean background and then a bold red stroke crosses it out, while a calm narrator asks whether you really need what you are about to add. It uses the One Line Drawing style with one unbroken line and a single warm accent.

The brief
This is the brief that made the video. Start from it and change what you like.
Make a 15 second landscape (16:9) minimalist whiteboard animation. Draw a recognizable shopping cart as a simple line drawing on a clean white background, then cross it out with a bold red stroke. Keep the composition centered and uncluttered with no labels or decoration. Add a calm, direct narrator who says that something pushes us to buy more every day, that a cart can fill with things we do not need, and who closes by asking whether you need it or are just being pushed.
The script
Every day, something pushes us to buy more. But a shopping cart can fill with things we don’t need, simply because buying feels expected. Before you add something, ask: do I need it, or am I just being pushed?
