A face for trust and a board for the content, both on screen the whole time.

## Watch out

- Two measured references: the board changes 4.7 times per 10 seconds under a filmed speaker, and 1.03 times under a cartoon presenter whose board is drawn live. (measured; Director Chair measurement of a published short, 22 Oct 2026 and Director Chair measurement of a published short, 23 Oct 2026)

### Any chat model

```
Write a shot-by-shot outline for a short video about [your product], for [your audience]. Use the speaker over a board pattern: a face for trust and a board for the content, both on screen the whole time. Two measured references: the board changes 4.7 times per 10 seconds under a filmed speaker, and 1.03 times under a cartoon presenter whose board is drawn live. How it works: the frame split horizontally: the speaker in the top third as one continuous take, a board or screen recording below that changes on every point, captions on the seam. Plain spoken language, no hashtags, no emoji. Tell me which one you would post first and why, in one line.
