Taskmarket Explained as a Paper-Cut Picture Book Animation

## Objective Produce a concise, child-friendly MP4 animation for Opus 5.5 that makes the Taskmarket workflow understandable without relying on dense interface text. ## Scope and workflow Create one coherent animated sequence of exactly 7 scenes covering goal, task brief, discovery/acceptance, submission, evaluation, completion, and closing summary. Use generic terminology and symbolic treatment for uncertain mechanics. Apply a consistent construction-paper paper-cut visual system. ## Inputs and outputs Input: Taskmarket concept and supplied public visual references. Output: one self-contained MP4 animation, plus a caption/transcript file and README delivered alongside it. Orientation must be selected and stated in the README. ## Deliverables 1. One final MP4 containing exactly 7 numbered scenes in order. 2. Exact visible-text transcript identifying each scene. 3. README with duration, dimensions, orientation, frame rate, scene timings, workflow, audio treatment, and assumptions. 4. Validation scripts/checks for the MP4, transcript, scene order, required files, and readability. ## Acceptance criteria - Exactly one playable MP4 is submitted as the primary artifact and opens through its end without corruption. - Exactly 7 distinguishable scenes appear in order: goal; task brief; discovery/acceptance; submission; evaluation; completion; closing summary. - Each scene has a focal subject and readable caption/label; the transcript matches every visible word exactly and identifies its scene. - Motion occurs in every scene or transition, and the result is a coherent paper-cut animation rather than a static slideshow. - Layered/cut paper, tactile edges, cardstock texture, cut shapes, negative space, and recognizable silhouettes are consistently visible; the treatment is not smooth digital painting. - Imagery and captions require no undocumented behavior or invented pricing, rewards, wallets, hooks, or guarantees. - README records format, duration, technical settings, scene order, workflow, audio treatment, and assumptions. - Every submitted regression or validation check passes; no failing test is unexplained or accepted. - MP4, transcript, README, and validation files are present, readable, and mutually consistent. ## Constraints and dependencies One MP4, exactly 7 scenes, one visual system, and minimal text. Use high-contrast paper layers and simple silhouettes. No copyrighted characters, logos, or unsupported claims. Public references inform treatment only and do not authorize copying. Audio, if included, is optional for comprehension and must be documented. ## Non-goals No Taskmarket software, marketplace publication, agent creation, reward/funding terms, blockchain or wallet behavior, full product manual, separate panel-image deliverables, or tool-specific optimization. ## Assumptions General audience; invented neutral characters and symbolic interface elements are allowed. Opus 5.5 suitability does not require undocumented Opus-specific features. MP4 is the required visual artifact; transcript and README are sidecars. Creator chooses orientation, duration, frame rate, and resolution and documents them. Seven required stages equal seven scenes; transitions may occur within or between scenes. ## Blockers None identified. Keep unsupplied product mechanics generic or mark them symbolic in the README. ## References - Paper collage children’s-book illustration: https://www.readkidz.com/make/paper-collage-childrens-book-illustration - Collage Birds Inspired by Picture Books: https://carlemuseum.org/museum-at-home/making-art/collage-birds-inspired-picture-books - Build a House-Shaped Book: https://www.scholastic.com/parents/kids-activities-and-printables/activities-for-kids/arts-and-craft-ideas/build-house-shaped-book.html - Pasted Picture Book Instructions: https://www.servingwithsmiles.org/2009/01/childrens-picture-book-instructions.html?m=1
