15-second cinematic founder explainer video. A founder introduces what they're building in 15 seconds. Single-location continuity inside a modern tech-studio with dark wood paneling and a large projector screen. 6 sequential shots over 15 seconds. Style: TED-talk meets tech-studio aesthetic, credible founder energy, dramatic warm interior lighting, professional cinema camera with subtle stabilization, modern Reels/X pacing for founder content. CHARACTER — LOCKED: The SAME person from the uploaded reference photos. Preserve their EXACT face, identity, hair, and features in every single shot. Confident calm expression, founder-CEO energy, soft natural smile when called for. Wears a tailored professional outfit — cream off-white blazer with notched lapels, fitted top underneath, matching tapered trousers, pointed pumps or clean dress shoes, delicate jewelry. Holds ONE single black wireless handheld microphone with silver mesh grille in their dominant hand near their mouth. NO podium, NO lectern, NO visible audience, NO teleprompter. Hair flows naturally with subtle micro-movement. EXACT same face as reference photos in every shot — same eyes, nose, lips, jawline, hair color and length. ENVIRONMENT — LOCKED: Modern minimal tech-studio interior with a large white projector screen on the left wall framed by a thin black border, warm-toned dark wood plank paneling on lower walls and stage platform, smooth grey concrete walls on the right side, polished dark concrete floor with soft reflections. Large potted palm in a matte black ceramic pot to the right of the frame. Small minimal black bench/platform under the screen. Soft dramatic warm spotlight illuminating them from above-front, creating gentle depth and shadow. Same location throughout — only camera angle and distance change. AUDIO: Clean professional dialogue capture with slight natural room reverb, subtle warm ambience. NO music in first 10 seconds — soft cinematic underscore (low-tempo electronic, warm pad) builds in last 5 seconds. Speech is confident, warm, articulate. Each phrase delivered crisply with natural micro-pauses between. SCRIPT TEMPLATE — replace [BRACKETS] with your own: [NUMBER] [thing you have] · [NUMBER] [thing you do] · [NUMBER] [thing customers get] That's [YOUR BRAND]. We're building [YOUR ONE-LINE VISION]. [TEAM SIZE]. [TIMELINE]. Live now. EXAMPLE FILL (Lilidi): "23 flagship AI models. 4 modalities. 1 platform. 1 subscription. That's Lilidi. We're building the operating system for creators — image, video, audio, all in one tab. Two founders. Five months. Live now." SHOT 1 (0-2s) — HOOK: Medium close-up, eye level, slight Dutch angle. Centered, soft warm spotlight catching hair from above. Looks directly into camera with confident soft smile, raises mic close to mouth. Projector screen softly visible behind their shoulder, dark wood paneling adds depth. Subtle background bokeh. Speaks crisply, punching each word: the FIRST line of script. Hard cut. SHOT 2 (2-4s) — RHYTHM PUNCH: Quick whip-cut to medium shot from slightly different angle (camera moved ~30° to their right). Full upper body visible, projector screen larger in frame as soft white background plane. Gestures with free hand as they punch each number — small precise hand movements. Says with steady cadence: the SECOND line of script. Hard cut. SHOT 3 (4-6s) — BRAND LAND: Tight close-up, soft smile lands fully, eyes warm. Very subtle camera push-in (~5% zoom). Warm spotlight glowing on one side of face, dark wood paneling soft behind. Lowers mic slightly, says with quiet confidence: "That's [YOUR BRAND]." Hold beat. Hard cut. SHOT 4 (6-10s) — VISION WIDE: Wide shot. Full body visible against the projector screen and wood paneling, dramatic spotlight from above creating clean silhouette. The full studio visible — palm plant on right, concrete floor, minimal bench. Raises mic, turns slightly, takes one calm confident step toward camera. Free hand gestures openly outward, rising energy: speaks the VISION line. Hard cut. SHOT 5 (10-13s) — FOUNDER FLEX: Medium shot from opposite angle (camera moved to other side, ~180° from shot 4). Background showing concrete wall and palm plant. Gestures emphatically with free hand, energy peak, expression confident-proud. Says with steady punch: TEAM + TIMELINE line. Hard cut. SHOT 6 (13-15s) — CLOSING POWER: Medium close-up final, slight low angle giving subtle "leader" framing. Lowers mic to chest level slowly, gives confident closing look directly into camera, soft knowing smile lands. Soft cinematic underscore swells. Speaks the final line with calm certainty: "Live now." Hold final pose for 1 beat. Subtle hair micro-movement. Style: hyperrealistic cinematic professional camera (NOT selfie, NOT vlog handheld), shallow depth of field, warm cinematic color grading with golden-amber tones, dramatic warm interior spotlight as key light, founder-credible composition, subtle handheld stabilization between shots, natural skin texture with no plastic retouching, 1080p minimum. Modern explainer/founder-content pacing — hard cuts between shots, no fades, no slow motion. Each shot static or minimal camera movement (subtle push-in in shot 3 only). Identity lock: same face as reference photos in EVERY shot — same eyes, nose, lips, jawline, hair color and length. Outfit identical across all 6 shots. Microphone identical across all 6 shots. Location identical across all 6 shots — only camera angle and distance change. Negative: different face between scenes, AI-generic face, different person, multiple people in frame, slow motion, static lifeless delivery, monotone speech, theatrical over-acting, visible podium, visible lectern, visible audience, visible teleprompter, visible camera crew, dark underexposed lighting, harsh studio lighting, blown-out highlights, plastic over-retouched skin, distorted hands, mangled fingers, extra fingers, lip-sync drift, mouth shapes that don't match speech, hair color changes between shots, outfit changes between shots, microphone shape changes, location changes between shots, helmet, hat, cap, sunglasses, heavy editorial makeup, revealing outfit, dramatic camera zooms, rotating camera, drone shots.
