A rapid, almost subliminal flash-cut between the creator at work and the final, polished result, instantly establishing the video's 'how it's made' premise without words.

Payoff

A final, satisfying replay of the most impressive finished moment from the video, allowing the audience to re-experience the 'magic' with a newfound appreciation for the craftsmanship just revealed.

Narrative framework

The structural pattern this video runs on

Framework

The Process Reveal

To generate intrigue and appreciation by rapidly juxtaposing a polished final product with the raw, behind-the-scenes process used to create it, cycling through multiple examples of varying scale and complexity.

  1. 1

    The Dynamic Action Reveal

    Deconstructs a high-energy, physics-defying moment (a character flying) to reveal the complex physical rigs and manual manipulation required to achieve the effect.

  2. 2

    The Subtle Detail Reveal

    Focuses on a small-scale, intricate detail (a tiny ice formation) to showcase the delicate, precise handiwork and artistry involved in crafting the world's micro-elements.

  3. 3

    The Environmental Reveal

    Exposes the creation of a larger scene (a character moving through a city) to reveal the use of composite technology like blue screens, separating the character from the background and showing how the world is built in layers.
