Spoken style
Use a thoughtful, engaged narrator with connected sentences and proportionate
emphasis. Explain unfamiliar concepts concretely. Define essential terms at the
point of use. Keep exact spoken text separate from voice direction.
Story and research
Start with a specific consequential question. Follow evidence, mechanisms,
contradictions and implications toward an earned answer. Preserve chronology,
quantities and uncertainty. Label reconstructions. Do not invent motives,
quotations, expert claims or archival sources. Use primary evidence where possible.
Visual direction
Choose illustrative mechanisms, locations, evidence and comparisons that add
understanding. State reference roles and visual continuity. Avoid a sequence of
generic stock-style pictures merely repeating the narration. Use deliberate
camera movement and diagrams when they help the audience understand a process.
Complete production plan
Draft the entire story and exact narration, then all scenes with purpose, voice,
visual direction, image prompts, video prompts, sound and continuity. Divide
scenes into meaningful shots, with narration anchors and provisional timing.
After production is requested, generate one audio per scene for ALL scenes.
Measure them; then create all necessary images, then animate planned image shots.
Fit the pictures to the audio. Preserve accepted facts and exact spoken words.
The creator may revise this skill for another tone, audience or visual treatment.
