Tention · Faceless Ad v2 · Storyboard — rev 3 (current)

James Ad v2 — Storyboard

2:00 VO · word-level timestamps · 62 cuts (C62 removed). Every clip shows its actual draft still (nanobanana round 2) or v1 frame. All drafts are 768px concept resolution — finals regenerate at 2K/4K before Seedance.
REUSE — v1 clip as-is ADAPT — v1 visual, reworked NEW — generated draft
Locked rules: no graphic repeats (every motif appears once; B1/B6/B10 are continuous scenes) · 1:1 literal match to the spoken words · montage tiles carry no text (VO + captions say the word) · logo sting is deterministic render, never AI video.

please, so I can tell you how much money you're wasting
Magnifier sweeps line items; red flags flare.
C40:06.0 → 0:07.81.8sNEW
and how much you're overpaying for the service.
Push-in on the red total, counting up. Hard cut out on “service.”
B2Problem A — dormant flows0:07.8 – 0:16.8
C50:07.8 → 0:10.83.0sNEW · v2
And hey, if you're getting a good deal, I'll be the first one to tell you that,
Green FAIR DEAL seal stamps directly into the scene — paper card removed per feedback.
C60:10.8 → 0:14.03.2sADAPT V4
but you're probably paying $3,000, $4,000, $5,000 a month,
v1 price card reset to $3,000 — ticks $3k→$4k→$5k in motion, synced 12.3/12.4/12.9s. Only price-card appearance.
C70:14.0 → 0:16.82.8sNEW
and the flows still haven't been touched since onboarding.
Frozen flow canvas, “Last edited: onboarding” tag.
B3Problem B — pointless strategy calls0:16.8 – 0:25.9
C80:17.1 → 0:19.42.3sNEW
Or you're paying $5,000, $6,000, $7,000 a month,
Receipt printer that won't stop — escalation without repeating C6's card.
C90:19.4 → 0:22.93.5sNEW
and you're doing weekly strategy calls with the team
Recurring “Strategy Call” blocks stamp into the month.
C100:22.9 → 0:25.22.3sREUSE V5
just reading your Klaviyo dashboard back to you.
v1 laptop call + floating dashboard.
C110:25.2 → 0:25.90.7sNEW
Not worth it.
Tipped scale — $7,000 slams down, envelope floats up. Punch cut. Setup for C56's payoff.
B4Where the money actually goes0:25.9 – 0:38.4
C120:25.9 → 0:29.94.0sADAPT V6
You know, expensive retainers don't actually buy you better service or better emails.
v1 coins + flat email card — “growth 40%” label removed.

They really buy office space,

We stripped away all the garbage,
v1 green particle swirl — B4's debris disintegrates and sweeps away.
C180:39.7 → 0:42.12.4sNEW
but of course kept the good work and fulfillment —
Pen nib · envelope · glass chart land intact where the garbage was.

full service, email and SMS, design, copy, deliverability — everything for $2,000 a month.
June capability cards pop one per word (Email 43.0 · SMS 43.3 · Design 43.9 · Copy 44.5 · Deliverability 44.8) then condense into $2,000/mo, locking at 47.2s (C21 still shown).

Regardless of how big you are, small you are,
Tiny shop vs flagship — identical $2,000 tag under both.
C270:58.1 → 1:00.92.8sNEW
we have brands that are doing upwards of half a million a month,
$500,000 odometer mid-roll — hits at 60.1s.

Pinned $2,000 tag; revenue bar grows past frame top behind it.

C301:08.3 → 1:11.93.6sNEW
We've handled the flows and campaigns for over 200 DTC e-comm brands.
The brands themselves form the 200+ mosaic — locks at 70.4s.

We've also generated over $100 million in Klaviyo attributed revenue,
Green surge chart cresting $100M — deliberately not another counter.
C321:16.2 → 1:20.94.7sNEW
and we've worked with a lot of different industries within DTC e-comm:
Empty grid fans open, first tile glows — ramp into the montage; C54 closes the loop.

No text on tiles (per feedback) — James's VO + burned captions say each niche as its tile hits. Montage clips get scripted push-in/parallax motion (deterministic), not Seedance.

Grey agency balloons deflating, $5k/$6k/$7k tags — replaced the cracked monoliths per feedback.
