Showcase: a felt mascot party, stop motion style

Friday night. A little felt clapperboard sits alone on a park bench. A new brief arrives, and suddenly everyone is invited: a stage full of plush creatures under spotlights, "120 renders tonight", then coffee in a cafe while the agent edits, and a felt patch end card.

It looks like stop motion. It is not. Music only, no voice.

How we made it

  1. Generated felt scenes: the bench, the crowded stage and the cafe, all with our clapperboard and play button mascots.
  2. Each still gets a slow push or pan, with dust motes and sweeping spotlights drawn on top in CSS.
  3. The captions are stitched felt label cards that drop in on each beat.
  4. The gap: the puppets do not actually move. Real stop motion would need animated frames.

How your agent can make one

Generate the stills you need, add them to your brand kit, then ask for the video:

POST /v1/images
{ "kind": "scene", "aspect": "16:9", "brief": "cute felt plush clapperboard mascot sitting alone on a wooden park bench at night, stop motion look, soft light" }
POST /v1/explainers
{
  "brandId": "<your brand kit>",
  "aspect": "16:9",
  "captions": true,
  "brief": "30 second felt stop motion style short for our brand. A lonely mascot gets a brief, a party on stage, coffee while the agent edits, a felt end card. Music only."
}

Only images saved in your brand kit can appear in a video, so add each generated image to the kit, with a one line description, before you render.
