Originally validated in content-goose at internal/gooseworks-ads/video-05-tom-and-jerry/. Adapt paths to your project.

Purpose

Encode the style and recipe for a specific video format that has worked for Gooseworks ads. This molecule does not invent its own pipeline — it constrains and configures the video-orchestrator/orchestrator skill to produce videos in this exact aesthetic.

If you want to produce ANY video ad, use video-orchestrator/orchestrator directly with your own creative brief. If you want to produce a video that looks and feels like the "Tom & Jerry meets felt mascot" pattern, invoke this molecule.

When to use

Use this molecule when ALL of these are true:

• The ad is for a brand with a distinct physical/photographic mascot (felt toy, plushie, sculpture).
• The story benefits from comedic exaggeration — chase, before/after, big reveal.
• You want a deadpan-narrator-driven arc rather than a UGC talking head.
• The product is something abstract or service-shaped (software, agency replacement, AI agent) that's hard to visualize as a real-world object.
• The ICP responds to comedic relatability over slick UI demos.
