guided-cartoon-short
From the author
Cartoon shorts drawn in code: a character you design, acted emotions, drawn turnarounds and boiling linework, as one Helios renderAt(t) page. Covers storyboarding by reads, the character rig, the emotion timeline, closed-form acting helpers (jump, take, spring), transitions and the review loop. Use for animated shorts, mascot-style explainers, story-driven cartoons and character loops.

- guided-music-videoBintzGavin/heliosLyric and karaoke music videos drawn in code: get word- and syllable-level lyric timings (from a cue file, or by forced alignment on a vocal stem), write a treatment and a storyboard by song section, derive the edit from the lyrics and the beat map, and integrate the words into every scene instead of subtitling them. Renders one Helios renderAt(t) page with the song attached. Use for lyric videos, karaoke videos, visualizers with lyrics, and story-driven music videos.Media★ 123
- make-videoBintzGavin/heliosMake videos drawn with code: motion graphics, launch and explainer videos, animated shorts, animated charts and data, logo reveals, social clips, music visualizers, UI demos and GIF loops. Write one HTML page that draws any frame from its time t, render it frame-exact to MP4 with Helios, check stills and contact sheets, and add a soundtrack. Use when the user asks for one of these as an MP4, GIF or animation file. Not for live-action or AI-generated realistic footage or editing camera video.Media★ 123
- motion-stylesBintzGavin/heliosOpt-in library of established visual styles for code-drawn Helios videos: style cards (colour rules, type, motion grammar, a checkable signature list, the core rendering trick) with tested renderAt(t) demo pages, plus finishing passes and time tricks. Load it only when the user names a specific established style or medium they want reproduced (a print process, a retro screen look, a design movement), or asks to see Helios's style options. Do not load it to choose a look for a video request that names no style: design an original look instead, and at most offer this library.Design★ 123
- motion-graphicsheygen-com/hyperframesUse when creating a short, design-led motion graphic where motion is the message — kinetic typography, stat count-up, chart/data-viz hit, logo sting / brand lockup, lower-third / callout / social overlay, animated map (highlight regions, connect places, zoom to a location), animated tweet / news-article / headline, webpage / UI animation (scroll, cursor, callouts), or fusing a real image's geometry into a chart. Usually under 10s (up to ~30s), no narration or live-action subject; renders to MP4 or transparent overlay. Longer / narrated / multi-scene → /general-video. Unclear → /hyperframes.OfficialDesign★ 71.1K
- generating-cartoon-videosSupercmoHQ/superCMO-skillsGenerates a cartoon video for a product — a drawn, animated, anime, illustrated or painted spot that holds one art style and the same characters across every cut. A cartoon character presents, uses or sells the product, and the product itself is either kept exactly as photographed or drawn into the style. Use when the user wants a cartoon, animated, anime, illustrated or hand-drawn video, an animated ad, explainer or mascot spot, or any video whose look is drawn rather than filmed. Not for a photorealistic ad or a live actor or for animating a supplied photo.Media★ 200
- guided-video-recipesBintzGavin/heliosOpt-in recipes for specific code-video genres, each with structure, technique, gotchas and a tested Helios renderAt(t) demo: scale dives (powers of ten), step-by-step process explainers, era timelines, mechanism and proof explainers, kinetic typography, one-shape UI morph loops and pixel-art sprite scenes, plus a video brief template and a gotcha list. Load it only when the user asks for one of these genres by description or name, or asks for genre options or a brief template. Don't load it for general video requests.Media★ 123
