Turn any document into a short documentary-style film, with a screenplay, a cast, props and places all designed from that document and filmed in a soft, low-detail 3D diorama world in the charts-lib colours, with a free camera. Rendered in JavaScript and exported as MP4 in the browser. Use this whenever someone wants a document, report, article, dashboard's numbers, history chapter or science piece turned into a video, film, documentary, animated story or explainer with characters and a world…

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

# documentary-video

A document goes in; a short film comes out. The film tells the document's
story in a world built for it: the people, things and places the document
talks about, made as simple toy-like 3D models, filmed by a camera that moves
the way a documentary's does. Every figure in the film comes from the
document, and the viewer can see it: the number of things that move, light up
or stack *is* the number.

Nothing in the skill is a library of ready-made things. film-lib has shapes,
a jointed body and a camera, and no laptop, no tree, no building. That is the
point: each film's cast is designed from its own document, so a film about a
coffee chain and a film about a WW2 campaign share nothing but the style.

## The steps

Seven steps, each writing one file in `film/` beside the output. Each step
reads its own reference and the files before it, and ends with a check. Doing
them in order, and checking each before going on, is what keeps the work
small: a mistake is found at the step that made it, not in the finished film.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add raghuramsirigiri/raghuram-skills/documentary-video@sha256:ee3f5151eb9240f3

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.ec017e0, 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.
