## 3b1b Style Principles

Apply these principles when composing scenes:

### Visual Storytelling
- **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

### Pacing & Rhythm
- **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

### Mathematical Beauty
- **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

### Engagement Techniques
- **Pose questions** - Make viewers curious before revealing answers
- **Acknowledge difficulty** - "This might seem confusing at first..."
- **Celebrate insight** - Make the "aha moment" feel earned
