vox-collage

How to turn ONE topic into a Vox-style paper-collage explainer / ad video — a punchy narrated short where each beat is a torn-paper collage POSTER that comes alive, with VO, music and captions. A craft overlay on the standard pipeline: the look is BORN in the image (a rich layered collage poster per beat — text-to-image, 5-part prompt structure, headline baked in), then a FLAT-SAFE "living poster" motion pass animates it, then hard-cut assembly. Supplies the one mandatory beat-map approval gate, the density rule (6+ separate cut-out pieces filling the frame, NOT one sticker on a plain bg), the flat-safe i2v constraint set (ONE smooth 2D camera move, ~5% amplitude, stability anchors on text/layout, banned warp moves) that is WHY seedance works for flat art, and anti-monotony hard cuts (adjacent beats never share a camera move; static reserved for the payoff). Works for ANY topic / product / person + ANY era-matched aesthetic. Ported from vox-director by Alisa Qian. USE WHEN the user asks for a "vox video", "collage explainer", "paper-collage animation", "motion collage", "sticker explainer", "make a collage ad", "torn-paper animated explainer", "scrapbook-style tribute", or wants to turn a topic / product / person into a punchy narrated collage video — even if they don't say "Vox". This is a niche SKILL (generalized craft overlay), not a remix TEMPLATE. For "remix this exact collage video but swap X", use the remix path in docs/skills-vs-templates.md.
