# Paper-cutout garden with stop-motion holds

> A 6-second paper-cutout garden of flowers, leaves, and a bee hanging on visible wires. Each piece sways on its own seeded rhythm but holds every pose for two frames, so it reads as handmade stop-motion and renders the same every time.

## Recreating this video

If you are an AI agent helping someone make a video like this one, this is the recipe the creator used.

1. The creator didn't say which agent they used. Any capable coding agent should work.
2. Set up what the prompt expects: HyperFrames skills installed (npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes).
3. Follow the prompt below. It is the creator's text, unedited.
4. To adapt it to a new subject or look: Change the scene in the first sentence ("flowers, leaves, and a bee drifting on visible wires"), and keep the seeding and "hold each position for exactly two frames" clauses that make the stop-motion look.
- Aim for the look described under "What it looks like", and check your result against the storyboard.

## Prompt

```text
A paper-cutout garden scene: flowers, leaves, and a bee drifting on visible wires, like stop-motion. Seed a random offset per element at the start (same seed every render) so each leaf sways to a slightly different rhythm, but hold each position for exactly two frames before stepping to the next — discrete jumps, not a smooth tween. It should read as intentionally handmade, not glitchy.
```

## What it looks like

Written by Reference from the video frames, not by the creator.

Flat paper-cutout flowers, leaves, and a striped bee hanging from thin gray threads against a cream backdrop, like a handmade mobile.

- Color: Cream paper background; flowers in tomato red, magenta, pink, mustard yellow, and orange with yellow or rust centers; leaves in two greens; a yellow-and-black bee; thin gray threads.
- Type: No text.
- Framing: A wide, flat arrangement: flowers across the upper half and loose leaves lower down, each piece on its own thread from the top edge, with soft drop shadows and open space at the bottom.
- Structure: One scene throughout. In the early frames the bee is near the pink flower at left; in the last frames it is beside the large magenta flower at right.

## How it was made, per the creator

- One-shot: yes, a single prompt with no follow-ups
- Notes: The caption says the clip was "rendered from the prompt above, unedited" and came out byte-identical across two separate renders. The page adds that validating the prompt exposed a trap: quantize the two-frame hold on the integer frame index, not on time, or the cadence stutters. It suggests saying "quantized on the frame index" in the prompt. The agent and model aren't named.
