Claude skill that directs motion-design showreels: interview-led brief, feasibility checks, scene-by-scene review, then a self-contained HTML build synced to your music.
## What it does
Interview in rounds: languages, message, emotion, look and motion, sound, assets.
Feasibility gate based on recognised standards (Netflix timed text, WCAG, EBU R128, Cinemetrics).
Scene-by-scene review (OK / MODIFY / DITCH) before anything is generated.
Audio analysis (tempo, beats, bars, drops) and asset audit.
248 previewable effects in an effects lab, with search, "copy my picks" and a GIF download per effect.
Built-in glossary so people outside video and editing are understood and the right terms land in the brief.
Style-neutral engine: no look is imposed, the brief decides.
Visual scene cards (scripts/build_scene_cards.py) for the OK / MODIFY / DITCH review.
Decision sheets (scripts/build_decision_sheet.py): the brief, the style sheet, structure options and the release gate are validated by clicking, never by approving a block of text.
One home for every file: assets/source (originals), assets/prepared and assets/generated (typed names such as logo-01-ploma-clair.svg), a MANIFEST.csv, and an organiser that holds sensitive or unlicensed files until decided (scripts/organize_assets.py, references/assets.md).
Gates between steps, a look test before the full build, and a review build with a timestamped notes pad for feedback.
Reduced-motion mode in the player (ctx.reduced, from the viewer's setting or a toggle).
Works with fewer tools: references/portability.md maps each step to a fallback.
MP4 export without a browser (scripts/export_mp4.js, Node canvas + ffmpeg), about 100 frames per second.
Checks before release: harness (NaN, clipped or colliding text), player test, release gate.
Audio analysis finds tempo, bars, drops, and breakdowns with the bar to hit on when the bass returns.
Shared drawing helpers (engine/kit.js, style-neutral) so projects do not rewrite text, ring, shake, flash and confetti code.
