Short-form (IG/TikTok/FB/YT Shorts): 5–7 clips/week (9:16, hook in 2–3s, dynamic captions/SRT, punchy sound design).

Pull story fro ---------- ssy reality: create mini-beats, callbacks, cold opens, and satisfying endings.

Clean audio (denoise, level, music ducking), tasteful color (cinematic but natural), brand-consistent captions/graphics.
