Evidence Wall Summary

When to use

• A true-crime or investigation video needs to recap scattered clues as one connected picture
• An explainer must show how five separate facts add up to one conclusion
• A season recap or case-study video summarises the evidence before delivering the verdict
• A documentary segment moves from "here is what we found" to "here is what it means"
• A pitch or research video shows the trail of sources behind a recommendation
• You have 4–8 discrete pieces of evidence and one takeaway they jointly support

Workflow

1. List the evidence and the conclusion (input: your script → output: evidence list + verdict line)
   List 4–8 evidence items, each one concrete: a photo, a document, a quote, a date, a screenshot. Each item gets a 3–6 word label ("Hotel receipt — Oct 12") and one source line. Then write the verdict line: one sentence, ≤15 words, stating what the evidence jointly proves. The verdict is the destination of the whole motion — everything pins toward it. If two items prove the same sub-point, merge them; a wall of duplicates is clutter, not evidence.
2. Pin the wall (input: evidence list → output: wall layout)
   Lay the items out like a corkboard: cards at slight rotations (−6° to +6°, never more — a 20° tilt reads as mess), overlapping edges by 10–20px, with visible pin/tape at one corner of each card. Background is a dark board or muted wall texture; cards are off-white or light grey so they pop. Keep the centre of the wall empty: that is where the verdict will land. Space cards so no two labels overlap and every card stays ≥80% visible — a card buried under three others is evidence the viewer never sees.
3. Draw the string connections (input: wall layout → output: string map)
   Connect related cards with red string: thin 1.5–2px lines in a muted red, running pin-to-pin in 1–2 straight segments (a slight sag is fine if it stays consistent, but never a curve that wanders). Draw only connections that mean something — same person, same date, cause-and-effect. Cap at 6 strings; beyond that, the wall becomes a spiderweb. Each string connects exactly two pins; a string that touches three cards claims a link you have not argued for.
4. Reveal the wall piece by piece (input: string map → output: reveal choreography)
   Reveal in story order, not grid order: one card at a time, each pinning on with a 200ms drop (translateY −12px → 0, ease-out) plus a 120ms pin pop (scale 0 → 1.2 → 1) at its corner, 400–600ms apart. Each string draws in right after its second endpoint card lands: stroke draw 300ms, ease-in-out, starting 100ms after the card settles. The viewer should be able to follow the chain as it builds — never pin three cards at once, never draw a string before both its cards exist.

Evidence Wall Summary — Starter Template

Fill in every {placeholder}. Every card must be evidence for the verdict — decoration cards get cut.

Evidence + verdict

• Verdict line (≤15 words): {what_the_evidence_jointly_proves}
• Evidence count: {4–8} · Reveal order (story order): {e.g. 3 → 1 → 4 → 2 → 5 → 6}

Wall layout

• Background: {dark_board | muted_wall_texture} · Card colour: {off-white | light_grey}
• Card rotation: {−6° to +6°} each · Overlap between cards: {10–20px}
• Pin / tape style (one style only): {pin | tape} at {one_corner} of each card
• Centre of wall: {left_empty_for_verdict}
• Every card ≥80% visible: [ ]
