Hold the person, the words, the lip sync, the room and the light exactly as filmed and change nothing but the camera; then one line per shot with its timecode and where the camera stands.

More angles from one take

One filmed take gains close-ups, low angles and profiles without a second camera.

Use when: Founder videos and interviews shot on one phone.

Prompt instructions

ProductAudience

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 more angles from one take: one filmed take gains close-ups, low angles and profiles without a second camera. How it works: hold the person, the words, the lip sync, the room and the light exactly as filmed and change nothing but the camera; then one line per shot with its timecode and where the camera stands. It is right for: founder videos and interviews shot on one phone. Budget three or four generations per sequence and cut the good seconds from each; in the creator's own example the first two attempts kept the wrong angle. Keep the prompt short, 120 to 200 words. Be concrete: numbers, seconds and settings, no theory. Ask me one question first if something you need is missing.

The same prompt works in Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini.
