Build around a reveal
Begin with a familiar portrait, then reveal a stage, costume or second performer on the first major beat change.
Build around a repeatable hook
A gesture, caption pattern or camera move can return each time the hook lands. Repetition makes the clip easier to remember and remix.
Direction checklist
- Explain the premise in the first frame
- Keep one surprise for the hook
- Use original characters and licensed audio
