Recreation blueprint
High-velocity dev tool breakdown alternating split-screen talking head with sleek minimalist 2D product graphics.
| slot | s | visual | voiceover | overlay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hook | 5.7 | Split screen: top shows GitHub project page, bottom shows creator addressing camera directly with hook overlay. | Someone uploaded a tool to [Platform] that [provocative capability] and turns it into [valuable output]. | [TOOL_NAME] [KEY_BENEFIT] |
| Mechanism Explainer | 13.7 | Rapid sequence of clean 2D animations showing terminal inputs, API captures, and AI processing. | This is [Tool]. It captures [traffic/inputs], runs it through [AI Model], and generates [complete output]. You just run it locally. | Dynamic word captions |
| Social Proof | 7.3 | Talking head cut to animated GitHub star counter ticking rapidly upwards. | In just a few days, it already has [number] stars. This is what developers have been waiting for. | Star count ticker |
| CTA & Discovery | 8 | Split screen showing search bar typing exact repo name above creator concluding. | Search on [Platform] for [exact terms], save and subscribe. | [search query] |
Keep
- Provocative 'cracks / reverses' hook phrasing
- Alternating talking head and sleek 2D graphics
- Social proof star counter beat
- Precise search query CTA on screen
Can change
- Target language or tech stack (e.g., JavaScript/TypeScript instead of Python)
- Specific AI engine referenced
- Color scheme and UI graphic palette
Generation prompts per shot (3)
- Shot 1. Split screen vertical video, top shows dark GitHub repository README, bottom shows young male creator in black shirt speaking passionately into microphone on desk, crisp modern lighting.
Negative: blurry, messy background, distorted facial features, oversaturated - Shot 3. 2D motion graphic on black backdrop, dark mode code editor window typing Python script with syntax highlighting in green and cyan.
Negative: 3D photoreal, low resolution, unreadable text - Shot 12. Clean minimalist UI animation on cream background, vibrant green star icon above bold black number counter rapidly spinning up to 700.
Negative: cluttered, noisy textures, bad typography
