The method

These are the rules the work has to obey. They cover what a graphic is allowed to claim, what may never appear on screen, and how the frame is allowed to move.

They are versioned and they change. What changed is the record.

  1. The certainty rule

    A graphic must never make a nuanced opinion sound more certain than the spoken narration.

  2. Claim classes

    Every statement the narration makes falls in one of five classes, and the class limits what the graphic may do.

  3. Anti-slop

    The list of things that make a video look generated, and the checks that keep them out.

  4. Four moves

    The entire motion vocabulary is four named moves. Anything else is a deliberate exception with a written reason.

  5. An owner's notebook

    The look, stated as defaults. Tactile beats slick, and wear is evidence rather than a flaw to hide.

Seen in the wild

One video has been published under these rules so far, a 54-second review. Most chapters therefore have exactly one example, and some have none yet. Where a rule has not been exercised, the chapter says so rather than inventing a case.
