novoads-claymation-adlisted

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 and Whisper. Use for ANY clay or stop-motion ask at ANY length: "claymation ad", "stop-motion ad", "clay ad", "a quick clay ad", "plasticine characters", "make an ad like this clay one", or a reference video with sculpted clay characters in it. There is no one-call tier here, so ffmpeg is required. Not for the smooth 3D animated look (use novoads-pixar-ad, which covers every Pixar-style length), talking-head UGC (novoads-api), or a static image ad.

# 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 `novoads-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 | | Runs on | want, then relief | affection for a character | Picking the wrong one is not a style mistake, it is a story mistake. If the product's pain is a moment, that is the Pixar skill. If it is a season of someone's life, it is this one. **Every clay ask lands here, including the short ones.** There is no one-call clay tier. A five-beat short is the small end of this pipeline, not a different door: still per-beat renders, still ffmpeg, still an assembly. ## Before anything: this runs on a Novoads account
