Scene motion
Scenes that move with the words.
Once a scene is drawn, it keeps moving: the camera pushes in, the pen circles what the voice mentions, a zoom bubble shows the detail. Every move lands on a spoken word, so the eye goes where the voice does.

What you get
Everything in the box, today.
Camera
Push in, pan and Ken Burns moves, kept inside the picture so nothing slides off the page.
Emphasis
Highlight pulses, glow rings, and a pen that circles or underlines what the voice is talking about.
Reveals
Hold a detail back until its moment, or show it magnified in a round zoom bubble.
Ask for it
"Circle the yeast when it is mentioned": the Director finds it in the picture and times it to the word.

The whole motion vocabulary.
