  "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 uGC at one table, seven setups: a 15 to 25 second talking video that feels operated and alive, shot around one table. How it works: seven lines, seven camera positions around one table, the camera at prop height, something near the lens in every shot, movement spent on the hook, calm by the end. It is right for: creator-style product ads with one person and one product. For a restyle, shoot an empty room on purpose: plain walls, one table, one prop of the right shape; every object the model can map becomes part of the new world. Be concrete: numbers, seconds and settings, no theory. Ask me one question first if something you need is missing."
