Photo-real stop-motion of a crumpled paper ball opening into a note, made from GPT-image keyframes.

Installation

Version 1.0.1 · One skill: SKILL.md, a frame keying script, two working prompts, a playback snippet and the licence. No media.

  1. Download the focused package

    Download the ZIP from the release and extract it. It holds only the skill folder; preview media and translations stay on separate branches of the repository.

    Release v1.0.1 ↗
  2. Add it to your agent

    Copy the extracted folder into your agent's skills directory (Claude Code: ~/.claude/skills/), or install it straight from main with git.

    git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/OpenRootdev/paper-unfold-frames ~/.claude/skills/paper-unfold-frames
  3. Ask for an unfold

    Describe the shot in plain words, for example: "Open the video with a crumpled note that unfolds to show our tagline." The agent generates a 3x3 grid of stages, keys out the frames and plays them stepped at 6-8 fps.

Manual setup

  • Access to a GPT image model, for example through the Figma MCP generate_image tool or the OpenAI API.
  • Python 3 with Pillow, numpy and scipy to key out the frames.
  • A canvas-based video tool such as HyperFrames or Remotion, or a web page.

Additional notes

  • Handwriting or a sketch can be baked into the image prompt so it is revealed as the sheet opens.
  • Sister skill: Paper Unfold Mesh draws the same effect procedurally in code.
