Build a 40 to 70 second hand-sculpted stop-motion CLAY ad as a STORYBOARD — five to eight separate beats, each rendered from its own key frame, with a storyteller narration laid into the gaps, a music bed under it and captions burned on, assembled locally with ffmpeg. Carries the genre's narrative arc: a named protagonist, an inciting moment, a social beat, quiet despair, a sculpted clay infographic, discovery, transformation and a resolution card. Also recreates a found clay ad: hand it a reference video and it reads the video's own beats with analyze_ad before writing the board. Produces a cast sheet, a beat board, a per-beat still, a per-beat clip, a per-gap voice-over line, and the exact generation calls in order. Trigger on "claymation ad", "stop-motion ad", "clay ad", "plasticine characters", "make an ad like this clay one", or a reference video with sculpted clay characters in it. Do NOT use for the smooth 3D animated look (use novoads-pixar-storyboard-ad, or novoads-pixar-ad for a single 15-second sho

# Novoads Claymation Storyboard 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-storyboard-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. ## Before anything: this runs on a Novoads account 1.
