As presented before, we want our brand to stand out and shine strongly. Understanding Branding: Different clients have different brand standards for a reason. We do not want a "cookie-cutter approach" to our company's clientele. Real World AI Application: We understand that your company can apply AI to the real world and engage in appropriate usage practices for content. VFX Application: We expect our content will involve VFX elements, such as rotoscoping and similar implementations. Verbal Hooks: We expect the content to have the proper verbal hooks applied. Subliminal Messaging: Text and key words must include those elements and animations should reflect them in the captioning. Also, captions should be rotoscoped or presented in front of the camera when appropriate. Application of LUTs: We shoot in RAW and use our own creative LUTs. Spelling: If you have concerns with spelling a word, please don’t hesitate to let me know Using Logic: Unless specifically told, use your logic when it comes to branding and text. For example: “If AI gets something wrong that you see in footage, you use the last frame and then speed motion it.”
