  "chat": "Give me a production plan: the shots or scenes in order, what each one needs, and the edit settings, for a short video about [your product], for [your audience]. The technique is one odd character, filmed plainly: a strange recurring character in ordinary places; doubt about whether it is real makes people share. How it works: one silhouette and one routine that never change, filmed as if a phone leans against a kerb, in real everyday places. It is right for: persona-led social accounts and campaigns. Since 2 August 2026 AI-generated people in content are a labelling question in Europe; disclose, or the audience turns when it finds out. Be concrete: numbers, seconds and settings, no theory. Ask me one question first if something you need is missing."
