Prompt instructions

You are my video producer. 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], aimed at [your audience]. Technique: Low-poly parable. A hard subject becomes watchable as one person's story, while every turn rests on a source the viewer can see. How it works: A first-person narrated story in dated chapters, staged in a low-poly 3D world with anonymous figures, a figure holding the printed source to camera at every fact, sentence captions revealed word by word. Right for: Brand films, opinion pieces, future scenarios, awareness. What we learned from tested runs: - No photoreal face anywhere: the anonymity is the point. - People watch a story and keep a list: 1.6 percent of plays saved here, against 5 to 6.5 percent for the same account's step lists. - The reference opens on a black frame 0, which is its thumbnail. Be concrete: numbers, seconds and settings, no theory. Ask me one question first if something you need is missing.

The recipe

  1. Write the script as one person's story in dated chapters, each turn anchored on a real source. Narrate in the first person at about 2.5 words per second.
  2. Build each chapter as a low-poly 3D set with soft light and shallow depth of field. Cast anonymous figures and one narrator figure.
  3. Hold each set with a slow push or drift and cut at the end of a sentence: 1.5 to 2.5 changes per 10 seconds, holds of 3 to 5 seconds.
  4. Whenever a fact is stated, cut to a figure holding the printed source page to camera, readable.
  5. Captions: one sentence at a time, small white sans with no box, revealed word by word, low centre.
  6. A quiet ambient bed under the voice; sound effects only where the story has an object. Voice at -14 LUFS.

Not for

Step lists, tool tutorials, lead magnets, product demos, anything under 60 seconds.
