01The idea
Each episode is one night story: the cab driver, the baker at 3am, the last bus. It has to stop the thumb and hold to the end without feeling like an ad.
02How I cut it
- 01
The strongest line or shot goes in the first second. Context comes after.
- 02
A cut every 0.8–1.5 seconds, timed to the beat and the pauses in speech.
- 03
The last frame connects to the first, so the video restarts without you noticing the seam.
03The look
Framed around the upper third, where the eye lands and the UI stays out of the way. Bokeh, silhouettes, streetlight orange against cold blue.
04Motion · Sound · Color
Motion
Word-by-word captions with the key word highlighted, short zooms and whip transitions.
Sound
Hits on the cuts, city noise, a beat that carries it, and silence right before the payoff.
Color
Punchy contrast that holds up on the weakest phone screen.
05What you get
A format you can shoot as a series: one structure, different stories, and a caption-and-sound template that keeps every episode on brand.
