C v3 — “TDD for Data Pipelines” — Locked Storyboard

Founder confirmed iteration 2026-05-07 03:39 UTC. v3 = v2 with three concrete fixes (clip + emoji + wrap). Used as the source-of-truth spec for /video-critic invocation.

Beat table (locked)

TimeBeatExpected on screenPosition constraints
0:00-0:03Title slam-in”Software engineers solved this problem 25 years ago.” Big blocky display type. “25” in coral accent.Top-aligned heading, single-line where width permits, multi-line stacked allowed for hero title
0:03-0:06Subtitle types in”Data teams weren’t able to copy them. Until now.”Below title, mono font, “Until now.” in coral
0:06-0:08Horizontal stack revealTop label “1999 / SOFTWARE ENGINEERS” big bold prominent. Bottom label “2026 / DATA TEAMS” big bold prominent. Horizontal divider line between.TOP half = 1999 era, BOTTOM half = 2026 era. NOT vertical split. Both labels visible from 0:06+.
0:08-0:14TOP HALF animatesCode block expands fluidly with test('output is valid', () => { expect(result).toMatch(spec); });. Then PASS check (waapi badge, navy circle with checkmark). Then SHIP stamp (coral).All three elements MUST sit fully inside 1080×1080 frame. PASS badge specifically must have ≥60px margin from right canvas edge. NO clipping past edges.
0:14-0:20BOTTOM HALF animatesDashboard mockup with sparkline (small box). “looks good?” text. ASCII shrug ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (NOT emoji — verbatim ASCII characters). Ship-with-question-mark “ship?” stamp.Shrug ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ MUST sit on the SAME LINE as “looks good?”. Single-line read. ASCII shrug rendered in monospace (JetBrains Mono or similar).
0:20-0:24StrikethroughSoft pen/marker stroke draws across “looks good?” text. Coral marker stroke. Marker SFX hits at 0:20.Strikethrough CONTAINED to “looks good?” text width only. Does NOT extend past the ”?” or to canvas edges. Does NOT cross through the ASCII shrug.
0:24-0:28OUTRO revealTOP-of-frame: “MAC: PASS / FAIL” big blocky display. SINGLE LINE — NO WRAP. Coral underline beneath. MIDDLE: subline “TDD for Data Pipelines.” in mid-weight mono. BOTTOM: “modelacceptancecriteria.io” in bumped weight.”MAC: PASS / FAIL” MUST fit on ONE line — “FAIL” cannot wrap to second line. Top-of-frame placement (not bottom-weighted). Vertical balance distributed top→middle→bottom.

Acceptance criteria (for video-critic auto-flag list)

  1. Edge clipping: No content clipped past any canvas edge at any timestamp. Specifically: PASS check badge at t=12s must have ≥60px right-edge margin.
  2. Text wrap: “MAC: PASS / FAIL” outro MUST be single-line at t=24-28s. NO line-wrap.
  3. Element-on-wrong-line: ASCII shrug ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ MUST be on same line as “looks good?” at t=14-20s. NO emoji 🤷.
  4. Missing element: All beats above show their listed expected elements at their stated timestamps.
  5. Position match: “MAC: PASS / FAIL” sits at TOP of frame (top-third), not bottom or middle.
  6. Mid-reveal at end of beat: Each beat completes its reveal by t_end. No element still mid-fade-in at beat boundary.
  7. Background motif: Memphis-grid pastel-dot background visible at low opacity throughout.
  8. Copy locked: All copy strings above are verbatim — no paraphrase or drift.

Audio expectations

Diff from v2 (the three fixes)

  1. PASS check badge clip fix. v2 had badge clipping past right canvas edge. v3 pulls top-row group inward (96px right padding + reduced sizes for code block / badge / SHIP stamp).
  2. Emoji → ASCII shrug. v2 used 🤷. v3 uses ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (verbatim ASCII characters, monospace font).
  3. Outro single-line fix. v2 had “FAIL” wrapping to second line. v3 reduces “MAC: PASS / FAIL” to font-size that fits one line at 1080-wide canvas (~88px Big Shoulders Display 900 with -0.025em letter-spacing and white-space:nowrap).
