WHO IT'S FOR

Built for these creators

Documentary-style storytellers

You want the calm, intimate voice of a longform documentary in a 5-minute cut.

Brand educators

Walk customers through where your product comes from, stage by stage, with a reveal that lands.

Curiosity-driven YouTubers

You write deep-dives on everyday objects and need a structure that holds attention for five minutes.

THE STRUCTURE

5-beat skeleton

BEAT 1
hook
8s

Drop the viewer mid-action in second-person. One sentence that places "you" inside the subject's world before naming what the subject is.

BEAT 2
setup
22s

Name the five-stage journey and the single hidden question that will pay off at the end. Avoid teasing the reveal directly.

BEAT 3
rising action
210s

Walk through stages 1-4 in sequence. Each stage gets a sensory anchor (sight, sound, texture) and one quantified beat that will appear as a stat overlay.

BEAT 4
reveal
45s

Land the hidden-cost payoff stated in the setup. Make the contrast numerical and human — what the headline number obscures.

BEAT 5
cta
15s

Close on a quiet, intimate second-person sentence inviting reflection. No hard sell.
