The script
Laid out like a real movie script, with how many seconds each scene and each line takes.
Photos of your characters
Four photos of each main character, plus a row from the front, angled, side and back. Each set is checked so it’s the same face every time. You upload them in your video app so the person looks the same in every shot.
One look for the whole film
Pick from 80 looks: the light, the colors and the camera lens. It’s written into every shot, so the whole film matches.
Every shot, ready to copy
For each shot: the text to copy into your video app, the line that’s spoken, how many seconds it runs and which photos to upload.
