How to steal it

setting · penthousedevice · transformation
  1. 01
    Hook (0-2s)

    Open with the "story-arc" beat. No intro card, no logo, no greeting.

    Brickell · Roll camera before you arrive at your Flow Brickell penthouse — Miami skyline through the glass. The reveal IS the hook.

  2. 02
    Set the frame (2-4s)

    Establish penthouse with watch. Wide on the 16mm so the GT3 RS sells the scale.

    Brickell · Keep the prop count to 1. More props = more cuts = lower retention.

  3. 03
    Payoff (4-9s)

    Use transformation to deliver the rewatch moment. One idea, one take.

    Brickell · Cut on the reaction, not the line. If it's a price reveal, hold the number on screen for 1.5s.

  4. 04
    Reaction / proof (9-13s)

    Show the consequence. Bystander head-turn, valet face, on-screen receipt — whatever makes the payoff feel real.

    Brickell · Casa Tua and Komodo valets are cinematic. E11even paddock for nightlife crowd. Hard Rock paddock during F1 weekend = prebuilt audience.

    CTA / outro (13-15s)

    Implicit beats explicit. Let the caption + pinned comment ask. End on the asset, not your face.

    Brickell · Tag @imalexgunnar in the caption. Pin the objection comment within 60s of posting.

    Where in Miami
    • Gas station · Shell SW 8th + Brickell Ave (24/7, premium pump, clean lighting).
    • Valet · Casa Tua, Komodo, E11even — pull-up + handoff is the cinematic moment.
    • Penthouse · Flow Brickell roof or your unit. Skyline backdrop reads premium.
    • Track / paddock · Hard Rock paddock during F1 weekend = pre-built audience.
    • Cold start · Brickell Ave south of 8th at 6:30am — empty street, hard light.
