Example instruction

Adapt this instruction to your footage and review the result.

Make a 15-second vertical product ad from this shoot. Open with the product solving the problem, show one close-up demonstration and finish with the supplied product name. Use the same restrained caption style as the other campaign versions.

What to check

A new version needs its own direction. Repeating the same brief does not establish a controlled creative test.

Available batch size and credit requirements are shown in the product. Output review, ad testing, scheduling and publishing remain separate steps.

Questions, answered.

Can the same shoot become different stories?

Yes. Reuse suitable source footage across separate briefs. Change the message, opening, subject or ending and review each rendered output.
