Story-first motion design philosophy for animated video: motion must earn its place; arc (establish, complicate, resolve); show vs tell; shots as units of thought; quiet vs loud motion; Disney principles with restraint; timing heuristics; composition; grammar by medium (product demos, logos, data viz, explainers); technical commitments (deterministic time, scrubbability, refs); cutting discipline; explicit anti-patterns. Use when planning, storyboarding, critiquing, or implementing…
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
# Animated video philosophy Read [philosophy.md](philosophy.md) start to finish before giving creative direction, critiquing a cut, or structuring scenes. That file is the verbatim working philosophy. ## How to apply it - Gate work on the five questions at the end of `philosophy.md`. If they are not clear, prioritize script and intent over more keyframes. - When reviewing builds, check **IX. The technical commitments** and **XI. What I won't do** explicitly. - When timing or rhythm feels wrong, use **VI** (including the ~30 viewings rule) before tuning easing alone.

How to install
mdr add bintzgavin/helios/animated-video-philosophy@sha256:8ea5197658803160The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261009.c6b0c13, 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.
