TEMPLATE · EXPLAINER
POV Explainer · 5 minute
A second-person journey across five stages with a hidden-cost payoff at the end. The same recipe behind our coffee-bean demo.
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
Drop the viewer mid-action in second-person. One sentence that places "you" inside the subject's world before naming what the subject is.
Name the five-stage journey and the single hidden question that will pay off at the end. Avoid teasing the reveal directly.
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.
Land the hidden-cost payoff stated in the setup. Make the contrast numerical and human — what the headline number obscures.
Close on a quiet, intimate second-person sentence inviting reflection. No hard sell.
