Worked Example: Creating a Brand-Safe Explainer Reel Let's say we're creating an explainer Reel for a new product that uses AI face realism marketing. We start by writing the promise line: "Learn how to use our new product to improve your daily routine." We then list the proof beats: (1) introduction to the product, (2) demonstration of the product's features, (3) testimonial from a satisfied customer. We time the VO or on-screen text read and attach the brand kit + product-truth refs. Finally, we open the generator or editor and create the explainer Reel, ensuring that we follow the checklist to guarantee brand-safe visuals and clear teaching.

Second Worked Example: Creating an Explainer Reel for a Service Let's say we're creating an explainer Reel for a new service that uses AI face realism marketing. We start by writing the promise line: "Discover how our service can help you achieve your business goals." We then list the proof beats: (1) introduction to the service, (2) explanation of the service's benefits, (3) case study of a successful client. We time the VO or on-screen text read and attach the brand kit + product-truth refs. Finally, we open the generator or editor and create the explainer Reel, ensuring that we follow the checklist to guarantee brand-safe visuals and clear teaching. In this example, we also need to ensure that we are not misusing any identities, so we use fictional characters and disclose synthetic media when required.
