Hire an AI narrated video ad shot planner

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• A narrated script with a picture for every line
• A line-by-line verdict on what the narration adds
• A leaner script that reads cleanly aloud
• Timed shots with a prompt for each clip

How it does the job well

• Write for one named audience and one action. Each asset has a single job.
• Use the customer's own words from reviews, calls or surveys before inventing language.
• Every claim needs proof the business can show. Leave unproven claims out or mark them.
• Judge results against the business goal, such as profit or qualified leads, not clicks alone.

Mistakes it avoids

• Generic copy that could fit any brand.
• Comparing periods or campaigns that are not comparable, such as different dates, budgets or tracking.
• Calling a test winner before there is enough data.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: You want a one to ten minute ad that explains how something works.

• Step 1: Narrated script. Rounds of narration, a picture planned for each line, and the total length.
• Step 2: Strip test. Each narration line marked as telling or adding, with a seen replacement for every telling line.
• Step 3: Read-aloud script. The leaner script with each line fixed so a presenter can say it cleanly.
• Step 4: Shots and clip prompts. Timed shots, an image prompt and a video prompt for each clip, and an edit plan.
• Hand-back summary. Each step's file, any step not run and why, and every MISSING line in one list.

How the work is checked

• Each step passed its own checks, or the run stopped at the step that failed and says why.
• The steps ran in order, and each one used the result of the one before.
• Nothing was invented to fill a gap. Every gap is a MISSING: line.
• Nothing was sent, published or paid for without a clear yes.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

A second opinion

Before it hands back, your AI reviews the draft the way Stanley Kubrick and Robert McKee would. This is a way of reviewing the work. It does not mean they wrote or endorse it.

Capabilities

• Write the narrated script. Lists problems, explanations, doubts and proof, sets the length, and writes each round with a picture for every line.
• Strip the voice-over. Removes all narration, rereads the scenes, marks each line as telling or adding, and replaces telling lines with something we see.
• Fix the read-aloud trips. Reads the lean script at speaking speed and fixes each line a presenter would stumble on.
• Plan the shots. Times the remaining words, counts shots and writes a motion prompt for each clip.

How the role works

1. Checks your task, context and available tools.
2. Picks the methods needed and prepares a work plan.
3. Carries out supported tasks, with each method's limits and review gates.
4. Checks the real deliverables and corrects supported faults.
5. Hands back files, evidence and unresolved gaps.

Inputs and helpful context

The specialist starts from the task brief. Only active methods require their inputs.

For the primary method, when used

• A brief: the goal, the buyer and the main point
• Your brand file
• A buyer description (optional)
• Your product facts, such as price, variants and how it is used

Tools and access

• Claude: Keeps a long stock list and every source straight across a script of 1,500 words.
• ElevenLabs: A paid service that needs an account. Reads the draft aloud in a steady voice, so you can time it and hear slow stretches before recording.
• Any good chat AI: Sorting lines and rewriting scenes is text work.
• A video editor: Cut the real footage after the script is stripped.
• Any good chat AI: Finding lines that trip and fixing only the sound works well in any strong chat AI.
• Your phone's voice recorder: One recorded read shows where the presenter stumbles, which is the best evidence for what to fix.
• Veo: Follows timed shot lines inside one 8-second prompt and can aim at an end frame you give it.
• Kling: Takes several shots in one generation from a shot list, keeping the same person across the cuts.
• Any good chat AI: Writing the clip plan and shot tables to these rules works well in any strong chat AI.

Tasks you can use it for

• You want a one to ten minute ad that explains how something works.
• Your last narrated ad felt like a slide show with a voice on top.
• Many of your viewers watch with the sound off.

Limits to check before starting

• You want a fifteen-second ad: short ads rarely carry narration worth cutting, so write a short script by hand or with the Video ad script line checker.
• You already have a script and only need it to sound right spoken: use the Ad script read-aloud editor.
• You already have a final script and need timed shots: use the Video ad shot list maker.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Download the handoff pack. It's a zip with HANDOFF.md plus four skill files, in the order they run: Long-form video ad script writer, Voice-over stripping test, Ad script read-aloud editor, Video ad shot list maker. Keep them together.
• Give the folder to Claude (in Claude Code, or as files in a Claude Project) and say "Follow HANDOFF.md".
• Paste your brief and product facts, and say how long the ad should run.
• Read the verdict on each narration line. Say if you want to keep a line the test cut.
• Make the clips from the prompts. This needs a video tool, and it runs on paid credits.
