A6

The five-tier keyframe-to-motion ladder, submitted as five clips with a note on where identity held or drifted.

Week 6 · Due 2 April 2027 · 3%

A keyframe that can’t survive its own motion isn’t a keyframe yet.

What to do#

Take one subject through the five-tier ladder from this week’s exercise — sketch, flat keyframe, finished keyframe with lighting, finished keyframe with a four-sentence motion prompt, and finally either a first-and-last-frame pass or a reference-set-backed pass — ending on whichever top tier the subject’s motion actually needs.

What to submit#

All five clips in ladder order, the source keyframe for each, a seed and parameter log covering every tier, and a one-line note on where identity held steady and where it drifted, tier by tier.

How it’s assessed#

Identity control is weighted highest: it checks whether the subject recognisably survives its own motion at the top tier, not just at the still keyframe underneath it. Motion-prompt precision checks whether the four-sentence motion prompt is asking for a specific, calm change per second rather than a vague one. Log quality checks that the log reproduces any single tier’s clip without further explanation.
