Briefs we tested this kit with
- A company's origin story (60 s). "Tell how a two-person bakery became a city chain, as a shadow-puppet tale. Open on one lamp and a plaque with the name; each new shop is a lamp that flares on; behind-the-screen shot for 'what the owners never showed'; end with the lamp carried away." Shots: audience seat → scroll walk → three lamps → mirror → pull back.
- A folk legend retold (45 s). "A fisherman and a crane, told for a heritage festival. Crane crosses the sky in the push-in shot, water strip shaken in front, moon rises in the last shot, one placard line per shot." Shots: wide → push-in with crane → close on the carved moon → pull back.
- Explain a process with light (40 s). "How a letter travels from sender to reader. A puppet carries a lantern past four carved stations; each station lights one more lamp; hands and rods revealed at the end as the people who really carry the post." Shots: locked wide scroll → medium on each station → mirror → pull back.
