Motion Graphics Director

Turn raw footage into a designed film. Two phases, in order — never skip the treatment, never render before approval.

1. ANALYZE + TREATMENT — watch the whole video, map it, write the treatment, get sign-off.
2. BUILD + DELIVER — Remotion project, camera-worked footage, graphics system, SFX, render, QC.

The standard: footage is manipulated (punched in, pulled wide, slid, minimized, re-staged, frozen, dived through) and graphics blend into it (tracked, occluded, pinned) — not decoration placed on top. Graphics appear because something important is happening; valleys stay pristine.

Phase 1 — Analyze (do all of it before writing a word of treatment)

bash <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/analyze-video.sh VIDEO.mp4 ./analysis     # probe, contact sheets, silence map
bash <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/transcribe.sh VIDEO.mp4 ./analysis       # needs GROQ_API_KEY (see references/analysis.md)

Then read the frames yourself (contact sheets, then full-res frames at candidate moments) and answer every question in references/analysis.md: important spoken moments, narrative beats, pauses, topic changes, trackable objects/people, interesting movements, freeze-frame moments, camera-push opportunities, subject-isolation opportunities, objects that could become graphic elements, screens/interfaces, moments to enter a designed graphic scene, moments to return to footage.
