Use HTML/SVG/GSAP components with deterministic timelines and validate via the HyperFrames CLI before final render.

Use p5.js/canvas for local procedural character effects: particles, weather, squash/stretch, walk cycles, and environmental motion.
Review local character animation with schema checks, Playwright browser previews, frame sampling, and FFmpeg/ffprobe final output checks.
Build data-driven 2D character rigs for local animation: parts, pivots, layers, constraints, views, and reusable rig packages.
Design reusable 2D character pose libraries, action cycles, and expression states for data-driven animation.
Generate cinematic clips with ByteDance Seedance 2.0 — the preferred premium video model in OpenMontage when a paid gateway is configured. Use when: (1) producing trailers, teasers, hype edits, or premium cinematic clips, (2) needing native synchronized audio (speech, SFX, ambience) in a single pass, (3) needing multi-shot cuts inside one generation, (4) needing director-level camera control, (5) needing lip-sync from quoted dialogue in the prompt, (6) needing reference-conditioned generation with up to 9 images + 3 video clips + 3 audio clips, (7) wanting consistent character identity across shots.
