Your best trick, sixty seconds
Use with: edit-a-short. Resume line when done: Shot and edited a sixty-second skill video — published at {url}
Brief
A sixty-second video of the one skill people ask you to show them: the kickflip, the omelette flip, the speedcube solve, the free-throw streak. Shot on your phone and cut tight so every second earns its place. You perform it and you make the cuts; the agent helps plan shots and critiques drafts of the edit, but everything in the frame happened in front of your camera.
Personalize
- The trick. One you can land on camera this week, most attempts. If it takes fifty tries, film fifty tries; the fails can be the opening.
- The location and light. Somewhere you already do this thing. Daylight beats your ceiling bulb.
- The angle that sells it. Every trick has one view that makes it read. Find yours before the shoot day, by testing.
Milestones
- Shot list on paper: the angles, the close-up, the one slow-motion moment.
- Footage shot, more takes than you think you need.
- First cut at sixty seconds, no filler frames.
- Sound decided and placed: room audio, a track you have rights to, or silence.
- A caption written by you, then published where anyone can watch it.
Done means
- Live at a public URL, sixty seconds or under
- Every frame is your footage, shot by you or a friend you credit
- No dead frames: pausing anywhere lands on something worth seeing
- Music, if any, is licensed or from the platform library
- The caption is in your voice
