SHORT-FORM VIDEO PRODUCTION · Workflow idea

Move from a content brief to a reviewable short video.

Turn an approved creative brief into a short script, visual direction, narration, and an assembled video draft. Keep options open for manual writing and editing, track each draft for revision, and check accuracy, usage rights, likeness permissions, and accessibility before an authorized person approves any publication.

The handoff

A reviewable video draft with its script, creative brief, visual assets, and approval status kept together.

Keep in mind

Draft content can contain unsupported claims, inaccurate visuals, inaccessible captions, or material without suitable rights. Use only approved source material, obtain informed permission for identifiable faces and voices, label synthetic or altered depictions where appropriate, and check music and image rights. Keep drafts private and require an authorized reviewer to approve the exact video, claims, audience, and destination before publication or paid promotion.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define content briefs and approved formats

Set the intended themes, length, audience, brand guidance, and claims that may be included.

Set rules for visuals, music, and likeness

Document asset permissions, usage limits, informed consent for face or voice likeness, and any required disclosure.

Keep drafts and source material private

Limit who can access unreleased scripts and media and establish how source assets and finished drafts are retained.
