# Sketch-to-Video Workflow Skill

## Purpose

Convert an approved sketch into motion without accidentally changing the creative medium.

The primary job is not merely to make pixels move. The primary job is to decide what must survive motion, choose the least-inventive workflow that satisfies the brief, create a controlled pilot, inspect the full clip, and iterate from the first observed failure.

Treat the approved drawing as the visual specification unless the user explicitly wants the drawing transformed into another visual medium.

## Core Principle

Before generating anything, classify the user's intent:

1. **Preserve the original drawing while adding motion**
   - Preserve line language, silhouette, paper/background, negative space, object topology, and composition.
   - Prefer direct image-to-video from a clean approved frame.

2. **Turn the sketch into a finished illustration, then animate it**
   - Use an image-generation or image-editing stage first.
   - Approve the intermediate still before animation.
   - Treat any intentional redesign as part of the creative transformation, not as video drift.

3. **Turn the sketch into a realistic or cinematic scene**
   - Explicitly allow the visual medium to change.
   - Use the sketch mainly as layout/action guidance.

4. **Preserve exact editable strokes or predictable vector paths**
   - Do not promise that raster image-to-video will retain exact stroke paths.
   - Prefer vector animation, layer rigs, motion graphics, controlled keyframes, or a specialized sketch-control workflow.

Do not collapse these four goals into one generic "sketch-to-video" request.

## Required Intake

Before creating a prompt or workflow, determine:

- Input type: sketch, clean line art, storyboard, diagram, photo of drawing, or illustration.
- Preservation target: recognizable style vs. exact geometry/stroke ownership.
- Desired motion: one small action, camera motion, reveal, transformation, or complex multi-object motion.
- Camera behavior: fixed, pan, tilt, dolly, zoom, handheld, or unspecified.
- Whether an intermediate image stage is desired or permitted.
- Whether a closing frame is useful and supported.
- Target aspect ratio and approximate duration.
- Whether sound is required.
- Whether the output is a test clip or a final production asset.

If details are missing, infer a conservative pilot: one drawing, one action, fixed camera, short duration, and explicit preservation constraints.

## Visual Preservation Contract

Translate vague language such as "keep the sketch" into concrete inspection criteria.

Typical criteria include:

- line style and line weight remain recognizable;
- silhouette remains stable;
- intended negative spaces remain open;
- contours stay connected where they should;
- no accidental fills, shading, textures, or photorealistic surfaces appear;
- background/paper remains consistent;
- character/object proportions remain stable;
- the scene does not gain unrequested scenery;
- only the specified subject or object moves;
- the camera does not create fake motion when subject motion is required.

Separate **appearance** from **exact geometry**. A model can preserve the visual feel while subtly redrawing contours. Exact editable-stroke retention is a different technical requirement.

## Input Preparation

Prepare the opening frame without redesigning it unless redesign is the stated goal.

For photographed or scanned sketches:

- correct skew and perspective;
- remove incidental shadows, fingers, desk edges, borders, or lens artifacts when they are not part of the artwork;
- crop to the intended delivery shape;
- preserve intentional paper texture;
- ensure important lines remain readable at delivery size;
- remove construction marks that are not meant to appear;
- keep expressive loose marks when they are intentional;
- leave physical room for the intended action;
- keep production annotations outside the actual generation image.

Do not silently redraw artwork and lat
