Builds a hand-sculpted stop-motion CLAY ad on the Novoads REST API as a STORYBOARD: five to eight beats, each rendered from its own key frame, a storyteller narration laid into the gaps, a music bed, captions burned on, assembled locally with ffmpeg. Carries the genre's arc (named protagonist, inciting moment, social beat, quiet despair, sculpted clay infographic, discovery, transformation, resolution card), and also recreates a found clay ad by reading the reference video locally with ffmpeg…
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.

# Novoads Claymation Ad
One product in. A 40 to 70 second hand-sculpted clay ad out, cut from five to
eight separately rendered beats, with narration, music and captions.
This is the **sibling** of `pixar-ad` and it runs the same pipeline: the
same gates, the same calls, the same still gate, the same local assembly. Read
that skill for the pipeline. **This file owns two things it does not: the clay
look, and a narrative arc that is longer and quieter than the Pixar one.**
The two are not interchangeable, and the difference is not decoration:
| | Pixar storyboard | Claymation storyboard |
|---|---|---|
| Hook | an anthropomorphized problem with eyes, speaking | a named person in their kitchen, and a narrator |
| Arc | 4 to 6 beats, a want and a turn | 5 to 8 beats, a small life story |
| Voice | in-scene SYNC plus narration | a storyteller carrying almost all of it |
| Surface | smooth, wet-eyed, subsurface scattering | matte clay, thumbprints, tool marks |
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add novoads/agent-skills/claymation-ad@sha256:351a9cd091553d43The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261017.da488ac, 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.
