Start with the moments that tell the story
Bring high-resolution photographs and the details you want emphasized. Pick the takes that make the subject clear, including a strong opening and a complete ending. These choices give Shorty a useful starting point for the edit.
Give Shorty the creative direction
Use a slow pan or zoom that begins and ends with intentional framing.
Try a 20-second 9:16 edit as a starting point. Include the exact title or closing message you want on screen. Add a reference when you want to show the pace, captions or mood.

Create a 20-second 9:16 video from my high-resolution photographs and the details you want emphasized. Use a slow pan or zoom that begins and ends with intentional framing. Use my supplied wording for titles. Check that motion does not crop out faces, captions or the subject being described.
Make the next version more specific
Check that motion does not crop out faces, captions or the subject being described.
Play the first cut and pick the change that would help the story most. Name the moment, describe the result you want and tell Shorty what to keep. A note such as “hold the final product shot longer” gives the revision a clear direction.
