- [Thinking in frames](https://zxn.studio/motion/thinking-in-frames.md): Why a film must be a pure function of its frame, the hooks and primitives that make that practical, and how to make the motion read well.
- [Controls and props](https://zxn.studio/motion/controls-and-props.md): Why film props are JSON, how defaultProps and controls let a host draw an inspector, and what element ids are for.
