# Silent three-frame storyboard for Fernwell

> A silent 15-second, three-frame brand piece for a made-up tool, Fernwell: a slammed headline, a deliberately still stat frame, and a small accent dot that grows into the wordmark. It is the HyperFrames docs' worked example of prompting a storyboard's plan.

## 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: The HyperFrames skills in your agent (npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes, or the Claude Code plugin).
3. Follow the prompt below. It is the creator's text, unedited.
4. To adapt it to a new subject or look: Swap the message ("Fernwell gives you back the hours other tools take."), the stat "3.2 hrs / week" and the tagline for your own, and change the two colors (#0b1220 and #f4efe6). Keep the timestamps and the single accent dot, which is the callback.
- Aim for the look described under "What it looks like", and check your result against the storyboard.

## Prompt

```text
Storyboard a 3-frame, ~15-second, 1920x1080 piece. Silent — no narration, no VO track. Message: "Fernwell gives you back the hours other tools take." Arc: Hook → Substance → Landing. Audience: small-team operators evaluating a new tool. Mood: tense synth pulse resolving to warm.

Direction for every frame: ground color deep navy `#0b1220`, ink color warm off-white `#f4efe6`. Nothing else gets a hue — emphasis is inversion, scale, or density only. Reveals stage on internal timestamps, since the piece is silent and there's no spoken cue. At each frame's t=0 only its first element is on screen. The rest arrive on the timestamps below. Holds stay fully still, no drift or breathing. No purple-blue AI gradients, no bokeh, no browser chrome, no drop-shadow cards, no infinite loops or randomness.

Frame 1 — Hook (0.0–4.0s), type: hook, persuasion: counterexample, beat: recognition + tension, focal: the headline. At 0.0s: bold ink headline "Most tools slow you down." slams in, centered. At 1.5s: a single thin accent dot (ink color, small, low weight) fades in top-right — the motif, planted quietly. Hold from 3.0–4.0s.

Frame 2 — Substance, **the breather** (4.0–10.0s), type: benefit_highlight, persuasion: numbered enumeration, beat: aha, focal: the stat. This is the one deliberately calmer, more static frame in the piece. Everything else develops continuously. This one mostly holds. At 4.0s: the accent dot from frame 1 carries over, now larger, sitting quietly left-of-center. At 5.0s: a big stat "3.2 hrs / week" fades in beside it, no motion after it lands. Static hold 6.0–10.0s.

Frame 3 — Landing (10.0–15.0s), type: cta, persuasion: callback + distillation, beat: resolve + inevitability, focal: the completed motif. At 10.0s: the accent dot from frames 1–2 expands and fills into the full Fernwell wordmark lockup — same motif, now complete, denser and larger. At 12.0s: tagline "Fernwell. Built for flow." stamps in below it. Hold 13.5–15.0s.

## What it looks like

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

Three quiet frames of off-white type on deep navy: a centered headline, a large stat beside a small dot, and a larger dot beside the Fernwell wordmark with a tagline below.

- Color: Deep navy and warm off-white only, with no third color.
- Type: A bold grotesque sans for the headline, the stat and the wordmark; a small regular weight for "/ week" and the tagline.
- Framing: Everything centered in wide empty space. The dot first appears small in the top-right corner, then sits left of the stat, then returns large beside the wordmark.
- Sound: No audio track, as the prompt asks, according to the docs.
- Structure: Hook ("Most tools slow you down." with the dot planted top right), the still stat frame ("3.2 hrs / week"), and the landing (the Fernwell wordmark, then "Fernwell. Built for flow.").

## How it was made, per the creator

- One-shot: yes, a single prompt with no follow-ups
- Notes: The docs say the video was "Rendered from the prompt above, unedited", with no audio track, as the prompt asks. Fernwell is a made-up brand. The page offers this small piece as a cheap first test of the storyboard pattern (one arc, one direction block, a job for each frame, one breather and one callback) before a longer, narrated storyboard. It doesn't name the agent or model.
