CREATIVE REVIEW · Workflow idea

Bring a still image to life without changing who or what it appears to show.

For work involving authorized still images, proposed motion, captions, and short video edits, check the facts and permissions before taking the next step. Prepare a motion-video concept from an approved image for the creator or rights owner to inspect. Images may depict identifiable people or protected work, and added motion can imply an event that never happened. Confirm rights and subject consent, label material alterations, avoid misleading claims, protect original files, and require a human owner to approve the complete video and release.

A clear request.

02 / The work

5 tasks.

  2. Check claims and representation

    Make sure the work does not imply an unsupported result, event, endorsement, or identity.

  3. Inspect the complete creative

    Review every frame, caption, sound, crop, disclosure, and destination-specific version.

  4. Protect originals and private drafts

    Keep source files intact and restrict working copies until their use is approved.

  5. Approve the exact asset and use

    Have the creator or rights owner approve the final version, audience, and release.

The handoff

A review-ready brief about authorized still images, proposed motion, captions, and short video edits, with source checks, uncertainty, and approval status.

Keep in mind

Images may depict identifiable people or protected work, and added motion can imply an event that never happened. Confirm rights and subject consent, label material alterations, avoid misleading claims, protect original files, and require a human owner to approve the complete video and release.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Document rights, consent, and attribution

Track licenses, subject permissions, commercial scope, and permitted channels.

Set rules for altered or realistic media

Decide when edited, illustrative, or synthetic material needs a clear label.

Protect references and unpublished work

Use limited access and remove unnecessary intermediate files.

Keep release with the creative owner

Require a named person to approve each asset, caption, audience, and destination.

Keep exploring

Review short-video cross-channel releases

Republish a video only when its rights, context, and destination are approved. Check the evidence, protect relevant information, and keep consequential choices with an accountable person.

Review image requests and credits

Give people control over creative requests and any related charge. Check the evidence, protect relevant information, and keep consequential choices with an accountable person.

Review source-video clip drafts

Create a concise clip without borrowing work or changing what the original shows. Check the evidence, protect relevant information, and keep consequential choices with an accountable person.
