SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Planning a video's motion and visual craft — shot lists, storyboards, transitions, easing, kinetic typography, pacing, and color grading — requires deep knowledge of animation and film principles that most creators lack, leading to videos with flat timing, illegible text, and weak retention. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Video Production Specs: Generate full project plans including narrative structure, shot lists with timing and transitions, color scripts, typography specs, pacing maps, and hook design. - Motion Audits: Review existing video plans domain-by-domain (animation, transitions, type, color, narrative, AI usage) and name specific failure patterns with corrective actions. - Decision Frameworks: Apply principled heuristics like the Exaggeration/Restraint 2×2, Timing Hierarchy, Transition Decision Tree, Read-Twice Rule, and 5-Second Hook Audit, grounded in Pixar, Ghibli, Murch, and Saul Bass traditions. - Use Case: Describe an explainer video idea for a SaaS product and receive a complete production spec with a shot-by-shot breakdown, easing profiles per element, a scene-by-scene color script, and an AI-vs-manual production split. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to create a video production spec for a 60-second product demo video, including the shot list, color script, and pacing map.

Frequently Asked Questions about motion-picture

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a shot list for an explainer video?▼

Describe your video idea and receive a sequenced shot list with shot numbers, descriptions, durations, transition types with semantic rationale, easing profiles for animated elements, and audio notes for voiceover sync, music, and sound effects.

What is a color script in video production?▼

A color script is a scene-by-scene plan defining the dominant palette, emotional register, and temperature shifts across a video. It maps warm/cool and saturated/muted choices to the narrative arc, with grading notes for the delivery format.

How do I audit an existing video for motion design problems?▼

Request a motion audit to get a domain-by-domain assessment covering animation, transitions, typography, color, narrative, and AI usage. The audit names specific failure patterns like uniform easing or animation before legibility and provides concrete corrective actions.

When should I use a dissolve versus a cut transition?▼

Use a dissolve when crossing a scene boundary or implying temporal passage, and a cut for spatial or causal continuity within a scene. Use match cuts to express transformation, L/J-cuts to maintain audio continuity, and whip pans for energy.

Can this skill write the actual video script or dialogue?▼

No, spoken-word scripts are handed off to the script-writer-skill, while in-code UI motion goes to frontend-design. This skill produces the structural spec, motion annotations, timing, and visual craft plan that those skills work from.

What are the limits of AI-generated video motion?▼

AI-generated motion often lacks temporal coherence and intentional timing. The Human Touch Checklist evaluates timing intentionality, narrative coherence, brand consistency, emotional accuracy, and legibility under compression as a final QA gate.
