Claude Skill Nº03

Script to Vox-Style Ad

A Claude skill that turns a voice-over script into a finished Vox-style hand-cut paper-collage explainer or ad. Claude splits the script into beats, invents one paper metaphor per beat, generates the stills with Gemini nano-banana, animates each one with Veo 3.1, and (optionally) stitches in a generated voice-over with ffmpeg. Vertical 9:16, ready to drop into a paid-ad placement.

What you get06 sections
  1. 01One command chain: script to beats to stills to animated clips to VO to assembled MP4. You are the creative director in chat; the scripts do the plumbing.
  2. 02Hand-cut paper collage aesthetic: tactile, editorial, no talking heads. Colour follows the emotion of each beat, not a fixed palette.
  3. 03Motion lives in the paper itself (build, morph, tear, fold, assemble), not lazy camera zooms. Every clip carries discrete diegetic SFX, never a music drone.
  4. 04No text ever appears in the images (a hard rule). The voice-over alone carries the script, so the visuals stay premium.
  5. 05Two modes: fast-cut b-roll bed (you lay your own VO) or a fully-generated ad with Gemini TTS voice + ducked SFX stitched into one master.
  6. 06Ships with a worked 30-second, 5-beat example (stills.json + clips.json + vo.json + assemble.json) so the first run is a fill-in-the-blanks, not a blank page.

One of the more thoughtful takes I've seen around the Meta ecosystem lately. Your posts consistently show a systems-level understanding of Meta rather than surface-level dashboard thinking, and that's pretty rare.

Usama S.

No fluff, no flattery, but your content is really great, amazing. I recently read a couple of your blogs and it blew my mind.

Jonah C.

Super helpful, thanks for sharing this. The 1 ad per ~$3k framing really clicked. This gives me a clearer way to help diagnose what's ads.

Chris G.

Lots of alpha in your newsletter. I really enjoy your content on LinkedIn. Keep up the good work.

Mark C.

I read some of your posts and you seem to have a very well rounded understanding of how to monitor and maintain profitability of a Meta account.
