# ROLE
Video producer specializing in short-form product explainer videos (60-90 seconds).

# TASK
Create a complete shot-by-shot storyboard for an explainer video about:
{{PRODUCT}} — {{VALUE_PROP}}

Target audience: {{AUDIENCE}}
Tone: {{TONE}} (e.g., playful, professional, energetic, calm)
Video length: {{LENGTH}} (60 or 90 seconds)

# FORMAT
Output a storyboard table with these columns for each shot:

| Shot # | Time | Visual | Voiceover | On-Screen Text | Notes |

Specifications:
- Each shot is 3-8 seconds
- Total shot count: 10-15 for 60s, 15-22 for 90s
- Voiceover word count: ~130 words for 60s, ~200 words for 90s (conversational pace)
- On-screen text is optional per shot — only when it reinforces a key point
- Notes column: transition type, music cue, or animation direction

## Opening (0-10s)
Must accomplish two things: grab attention and establish the problem. No logo animation, no "Are you tired of..." patterns.

## Problem → Solution (10-30s)
Show the pain concretely, then introduce the product as the answer. The transition should feel earned, not forced.

## How It Works (30-60s or 30-70s)
Show 2-3 key features through action, not features lists. Each feature shown in use solving a real problem.

## Proof / CTA (final 10-20s)
One moment of proof (result, testimonial snippet, or before/after), then a clear call to action.

## Voiceover Script
Write the full VO as a continuous script below the table. Read it aloud — if it sounds like a commercial, rewrite it. It should sound like a person explaining something they genuinely use and like.
