工作流程

Phase 1: Understand the Concept

阶段1：理解概念

  1. Research the topic deeply before asking questions
    • Use web search to understand the core concepts
    • Identify the key insights that make this topic interesting
    • Find the "aha moment" - what makes this click for learners
    • Note common misconceptions to address
  2. Identify the narrative hook
    • What question does this video answer?
    • Why should the viewer care?
    • What's the surprising or counterintuitive element?
  1. 在提问前深入研究主题
    • 使用网络搜索理解核心概念
    • 确定让该主题有趣的关键见解
    • 找到“顿悟时刻”——是什么让学习者突然理解
    • 记录需要纠正的常见误解
  2. 确定叙事切入点
    • 这个视频要回答什么问题？
    • 观众为什么应该关心？
    • 有哪些令人惊讶或违反直觉的元素？

Phase 2: Clarify with User

阶段2：与用户确认

Ask targeted questions (not all at once - adapt based on responses):
Audience & Scope
  • What math/science background should I assume? (e.g., "knows calculus" or "high school algebra")
  • Target video length? (short: 5-10min, medium: 15-20min, long: 30min+)
  • Should this be self-contained or part of a series?
Focus & Depth
  • Any specific aspects to emphasize or skip?
  • Proof-heavy or intuition-focused?
  • Real-world applications to include?
Style Preferences
  • Color scheme preferences?
  • Narration style? (casual, formal, playful)
  • Any specific visual metaphors you have in mind?
提出针对性问题（不要一次性全部提出——根据回复调整）：
受众与范围
  • 我应该假设观众具备什么数学/科学背景？（例如：“懂微积分”或“高中代数水平”）
  • 目标视频时长？（短：5-10分钟，中：15-20分钟，长：30分钟以上）
  • 该视频是独立内容还是系列的一部分？
重点与深度
  • 是否有需要强调或跳过的特定方面？
  • 侧重证明还是直觉理解？
  • 是否需要包含现实世界应用案例？
风格偏好
  • 配色方案偏好？
  • 旁白风格？（随意、正式、活泼）
  • 你是否有特定的视觉隐喻想法？

Phase 3: Create scenes.md

3b1b Style Principles

3b1b风格原则

Apply these principles when composing scenes:
创作场景时请遵循以下原则：

Visual Storytelling

视觉叙事

  • Show, don't just tell - Every concept needs a visual representation
  • Progressive revelation - Build complexity gradually, don't show everything at once
  • Visual continuity - Transform objects rather than replacing them when possible
  • 展示，而非仅讲述 - 每个概念都需要视觉呈现
  • 逐步揭示 - 逐步构建复杂度，不要一次性展示所有内容
  • 视觉连续性 - 尽可能转换对象而非替换对象

Pacing & Rhythm

节奏与步调

  • Pause for insight - Give viewers time to absorb key moments
  • Vary the pace - Mix quick sequences with slower explanations
  • End scenes with resolution - Each scene should feel complete
  • 为见解留白 - 给观众时间吸收关键内容
  • 变换节奏 - 快速序列与慢速讲解相结合
  • 场景要有收尾 - 每个场景都应给人完整感

Mathematical Beauty

数学美感

  • Emphasize elegance - Highlight when math is surprisingly simple or beautiful
  • Connect representations - Show the same concept multiple ways (algebraic, geometric, intuitive)
  • Embrace abstraction gradually - Start concrete, then generalize
  • 强调简洁优雅 - 突出数学出人意料的简洁或美感
  • 关联多种表示方式 - 从多方面展示同一概念（代数、几何、直觉）
  • 逐步引入抽象 - 从具体内容开始，再逐步推广

Engagement Techniques

互动技巧

  • Pose questions - Make viewers curious before revealing answers
  • Acknowledge difficulty - "This might seem confusing at first..."
  • Celebrate insight - Make the "aha moment" feel earned
  • 提出问题 - 在揭示答案前激发观众好奇心
  • 承认难度 - “这一开始可能看起来很困惑……”
  • 庆祝顿悟 - 让“顿悟时刻”显得有价值
