Not analyzed yet. Claude will break down the pattern and write 3 variants in your voice.
Open cold on outdoor city. Sound on. Visual question in the first frame.
Brickell · Roll camera before you arrive at Brickell Ave at golden hour or Biscayne Blvd south of 5th. The reveal IS the hook.
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.
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.
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.
Claude will write 3 hook + angle combos in your voice you can queue as today's film.
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.
