How to steal it
setting · outdoor city
- 01Hook (0-2s)
Open with the "rules that made me question wealth" beat. No intro card, no logo, no greeting.
Brickell · Roll camera before you arrive at Brickell Ave at golden hour or Biscayne Blvd south of 5th. The reveal IS the hook.
- 02Set the frame (2-4s)
Establish outdoor city with your hero prop. Wide on the 16mm so the GT3 RS sells the scale.
Brickell · Keep the prop count to 1. More props = more cuts = lower retention.
- 03Payoff (4-9s)
Use direct to camera rant 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.
- 04Reaction / 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.
Your version
Alex-voiced hooks3/3
Variant 1
These rules paid for my $500k GT3 RS and now money feels different.
Alex walks toward the GT3 RS in his Brickell parking garage, camera low angle on the car, then cuts to face-to-camera where he breaks down the operating rules behind OVO that changed how he thinks about earning.
Variant 2
The money rules I learned after quitting my #1 AE spot at ZoomInfo at 22.
Alex films from the Brickell penthouse floor-to-ceiling windows at night, opens vulnerable about how ZoomInfo taught him how to sell but not how money actually works, then walks through the principles that built OVO Talent into recurring revenue.
