The poem's title or text, and how old the children are. A short public-domain story or your own story works too. ### What do the characters look like? They are illustrated characters: a poet is drawn as an adult in the clothing of their dynasty, child characters have an age range, and the style can be watercolor, ink wash or paper cut. ### How long is the poem animation? Up to two minutes. The moving pages follow the reading page by page, with each page's lines on screen. ### How is the nursery song sung? The poem's own lines are the verse, with two to four new chorus lines, as a bright nursery song or a slow lullaby. ## Related Skills - [Product Video Script & Storyboard](https://www.beatra.cn/en/skills/selling-video-script): Get the voice-over script and storyboard with a 3-second hook, then shots from your product photos joined with the voice-over. - [Short Drama Creation Workshop](https://www.beatra.cn/en/skills/short-drama-creation-workshop): Start from a short-drama idea; characters and sets stay the same all episode. - [Short Video Script and Storyboard](https://www.beatra.cn/en/skills/short-video-script-storyboard): A shootable short-video script plus one storyboard still per shot. - [Talking Avatar & AI Presenter Video](https://www.beatra.cn/en/skills/talking-avatar-video): Pair one portrait with prepared speech, then direct and review one focused talking-head clip.
