Reference ad production plan

Start with your own material

Use the references to choose a visual direction, then add your own facts, assets and audience. Bring these materials into the conversation:

• Reference video
• New brand/product assets
• Desired message and audience

A production approach to explore

1. Break down the shots, transitions and timing
2. Extract hook, pacing, camera and layout patterns
3. Replace the story and product with the new brief
4. Build an original storyboard and references
5. Generate, assemble and compare pacing

Define what you want to make

Use this as a starting point for the production plan. Choose the final format and scope with Fablo before the paid work starts.

• Annotated shot plan
• Original storyboard
• An original ad using the reference's structure

Review the result against the idea

Use the brief to check the creative decisions. For this direction, pay attention to:

• The new copy and brand story agree
• Product is correct in all scenes
• Shot plan explains the repeatable pattern
• Captions and CTA match the new offer

Make the brief yours

Copy this into your production conversation. Replace the bracketed inputs with your own material, specify what you need delivered and ask for a media estimate.

Analyze the hook, cuts, camera and pacing of this reference. Use that structure to make an original ad for our product with new scenes and copy.

My idea, product, or brand: [describe it]
Audience and purpose: [who it is for and what it should communicate]
Facts, offer, and destination: [supply the exact details; flag anything unresolved]
Reference video: [attach or describe]
New brand/product assets: [attach or describe]
Desired message and audience: [attach or describe]
Format, runtime, and export: [set the delivery you need]
Media budget: [set a limit and ask for an estimate before production]

Requested deliverables:
- Annotated shot plan
- Original storyboard
- An original ad using the reference's structure

Creative review priorities:
- The new copy and brand story agree
- Product is correct in all scenes
- Shot plan explains the repeatable pattern
- Captions and CTA match the new offer

Use the references for direction. Make the story, wording, and brand treatment original.

Where the idea comes from

The source examples and reproduction methods informed this proposed workflow. Credits identify the source of each reference, and the brief describes a possible Fablo production.
