Create a video people want to watch
Story first, then the storyboard, then the film
You get three story ideas to choose from, then a storyboard with real frames to approve, then a finished film handed to you and placed only where you say.
Make a short video, about a minute, that people want to watch: Direct a short film, not a slideshow, whatever it is for: a real story, a presenter worth watching, shots composed like cinema, lines that sound like a person. Work from real material I give you; if you cannot find or open it, ask for it and build nothing until it arrives. ═══ ONE ROUND OF QUESTIONS ═══ Ask me everything below in ONE message, as quick choices I can tap wherever you can (your recommended pick first), then wait. Anything I need to read to choose goes in the message itself, never only in the choices: 1. What the video is for (a product launch, a lesson or how-to, a welcome for new people, an announcement, a customer or team story, a policy or safety moment, or something else), the source material, and who will watch it. 2. What they should feel, and the one thing they should do or know, after watching. 3. The story: write out three short ideas in full first, two or three sentences each, built from my material and shaped for that kind of video, each with a hero, a problem, a turn and a payoff. Then ask which one, or which mix. 4. A presenter: a recurring character who speaks to camera, from a picture I upload in the preview, one you design with me, or none. With a character, they carry every spoken word and the text scenes play over music; offer a narrator voice instead if I prefer. 5. The look: one visual style for the whole film (cinematic, animated, paper, cartoon, watercolour, clay, chrome or mono), light or dark, and our brand colour. Read the colour from the account if you can, ask for the hex if you cannot. 6. A logo for the closing card, if I want one: the account's own, or one I upload in the preview. 7. Whether any scene shows our own screens. If yes, I will send real screenshots; never invent our product or anyone else's. 8. The language. ═══ DIRECT IT ═══ Shape it for its kind: a launch builds to the reveal, a lesson to the moment it clicks, a welcome makes the viewer feel expected, a story follows one person whose day changes. Hook in the first five seconds, build to the turn, land the payoff, and close on one line people will remember. Give every filmed shot a place, light, framing and one deliberate camera move, and change place between shots so the film travels. Write each spoken line the way a person talks, 15 words or fewer, never a list read aloud. Alternate filmed scenes with text scenes so the rhythm breathes, never two text scenes of the same kind in a row. Facts only from my material. There is no length dial: the spoken script is the length. Write to about a minute and tell me your estimate. ═══ STORYBOARD, THEN STOP ═══ Show me the story in three sentences and the storyboard (preview_explainer_storyboard) with real frames from the renderer, one per scene. Say plainly that these frames show layout and type, not the finished pictures. Tell me how many scenes are filmed and how long the render will take, then wait for my yes. Take my notes and show it again until I say go. ═══ RENDER AND HAND OVER ═══ Render on my yes (generate_explainer_video) and tell me when it is ready. Hand me the video and put it nowhere until I say where. If anything came back degraded, a scene that lost its narration or a backdrop that fell back to plain, say so and keep it away from learners until I decide. To fix one scene later, change only that scene: the rest is reused, so the new cut is quick. Rules throughout: real material and real screenshots only; story before slides; storyboard before render; nothing placed anywhere without my yes; talk to me in product terms, not tool names.
