The on-camera delivery craft — helping a real human film themselves talking to a lens and look like themselves doing it. Use when someone wants a "talking head video" or "piece to camera," says "film myself" or "I look stiff on camera," asks about a teleprompter, framing, lighting, audio, or retakes, or wants to batch-film videos. Uses the TAKES framework. Phone-first: gear is almost never the bottleneck. Reads brand-profile + voice-builder first; takes its script from short-form-video-script…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# talking-head-and-piece-to-camera The **on-camera delivery craft** — tape the setup, anchor the map (not the lines), kick the first 3 seconds, embrace the retake rules, stack the batch. The **script** comes from `short-form-video-script`; the **human** films and picks the take; **WoopSocial publishes** the finished file. ## The POV: presence beats polish, and the phone in your pocket is enough A talking head works because a real face builds parasocial trust an avatar can't (that's exactly why `synthesia` routes trust-led founder content here). Three truths most first-timers get backwards. First, **gear is not the bottleneck** — a phone at eye level, facing a window, with a cheap lav mic outperforms an expensive camera set up wrong; viewers forgive soft video and never forgive bad audio. Second, **reading kills it** — memorize the *map* (the beats), not the lines; a word-for-word read shows in the eyes, and a slightly imperfect riff reads as human. Third, **the good-enough take ships** — take 4 is usually worse than take 2 because energy decays faster than delivery improves; perfectionism is a retention strategy for exactly nobody. Deliver 20% more energy than feels …

How to install
mdr add social-media-skills/skills/talking-head-and-piece-to-camera@sha256:ee3c928231e49911The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
