When should you use this style?

Use Exploded Teardown for product explainers, hardware stories and engineering concepts where the relationship between parts is the story. The page includes a satellite and a keyboard film; choose a new object with reliable construction sources.

How do you build the picture and motion?

Begin with an assembled object in a graphite studio. Separate functional layers with staggered timing, move into material and interface close-ups, then reassemble. Use physical materials, warm key and cool rim lighting, projected leaders, Inter text and small orange indices. Keep narration, captions, camera and mechanical cues on one frame-based timeline.

What should you check before delivery?

Inspect the full camera path for collisions and occlusion, check labels at their actual display size, and decode the final MP4. Record consecutive-frame review coverage and native-resolution spot checks. Review playback and sound separately; ASR agreement and pixel differences cannot certify artistic equivalence.

How do you start a production?

Open the cloned repository in your coding Agent. Copy the prompt and replace the brackets.

Use the exploded-teardown style to make a [duration] film about [subject] for [audience], with narration and captions in [language]. Handle project setup, production and review, then deliver an MP4 and editable project.
