What's included
Video Production Harness
Full video production sequence with script review, actual ingredient choices, controlled generation, editing, evidence-based quality review, polish, captions and delivery. A host binding supplies project storage, authentic approvals, provider access and billing.
Render Street Interview
Build a vox-pop street interview video ad. An interviewer with a handheld mic asks passers-by one question about the brand's product, they give blunt wrong guesses, one gives the real answer, and the cut lands on a branded end card. Generates the takes through the GooseWorks fal proxy (Seedance 2.0 with native voice), then grades, re-cuts, captions and gates them locally. Use for the street-interview format.
Write Video Ad Script
Write the words of a short-form video ad (voiceover, dialogue, chat bubbles, on-screen lines) the way performance creative teams do instead of from a blank page. Builds the script from the buyers' own words, the beat sheet of an ad that already works and three deliberately different angles, filters them with a rule check and a second non-Claude model, and takes the strongest into the review with the other two as one-line swaps. Use it in every video ad run before any paid step, and whenever the user asks to write, rewrite or improve a video ad script or says a script sounds generic or AI-written.
