What it does
A video that looks filmed on a phone sells because the person sounds real. It fails when the script reads like an ad, or when the creator gets a vague brief and films the wrong things. This workflow fixes both ends. The script is written to be spoken, and the brief tells the creator what to film, in what order, with a must-have list and a maybe list. It runs in two parts with a pause in the middle. First the angle, script, line check, read-aloud edit and filming brief, all before anyone picks up a phone. Then, when the footage is back, the edit planner sorts the clips by job, opens on a clean first frame, times the captions and sets the exports.
You give it
- Your product facts and who the ad is for
- Your customer reviews and your brand file
- Later, the footage the creator sends back
- Your offer (optional)
You get
