Plan the shoot before you're standing in the kitchen
You're in the edit and realise you never got the clean product close-up.
The difference between a 40-minute shoot and a three-hour one is a list written the night before. The difference between delivering once and delivering three times is a checklist.
Both live next to the deal they belong to, so the plan and the work don't drift apart.

What it does
Shot List Builder
Ordered shots with notes, saved as a template you can apply to the next shoot in the same category.
Script Builder
Draft hook, body and CTA sections — or freeform — and keep alternate hooks together, which is how brands buy media.
Delivery checklists
A reusable task checklist applied to any deliverable, so file formats, crops and captions get checked every time.
Delivery best practices
Built-in guidance on handing files to brands without a week of back-and-forth.
Attached to the deal
Shot lists and scripts link to the deal and deliverable, so a year later you can see exactly what you shot and how.

Questions
Can I reuse a shot list across shoots?
Yes. Save any list as a template and apply it to a new deal — most creators end up with one per category they shoot.
How many hooks should I deliver?
Two or three per video is a strong selling point, because hook testing is exactly how brands buy paid media. Price the variant count up front.
