## What it does

The skill reads source copy or a core concept, extracts its meaning, suggests visual metaphors, and lays out a production plan with a storyboard. It then generates matching halftone collage stills, turns them into stop-motion clips, and can assemble the final result when requested. The visual language uses flat color fields, cut-out imagery, warm keylines, paper shadows, and controlled texture.

Its default audio approach keeps or creates paper sounds such as slides, pops, presses, taps, and light rustles. BGM, voiceover, and subtitles are added only after an explicit request. The skill fits explainers, story visuals, viewpoints, and social B-roll; it does not target presenter ads, editable layers, exact typography, or prompt-only work. It requires a MiniMax Hub agent with a canvas workspace and Hub-native image, video, and audio tools, so it will not run in a generic agent harness.

## When to use it
- turn a short narration line into a visual metaphor
- plan a paper-collage explainer with a storyboard
- create matching halftone stills for several story beats
- produce stop-motion clips with tactile paper sound effects

## Example prompts
- Turn this narration into a short paper-collage animation: extract the visual metaphors, make a storyboard, and generate the clips.
- Create a 16:9 halftone paper-collage sequence from these story beats, with paper SFX and no music.
- Build explainer B-roll from this concept: show the production plan first, then generate coordinated stop-motion scenes.
