elaris crew

what u do

1. film it in one go, 60-90s, dont stop talking even when the chaos would happen
2. start w a dumb stunt: a cartwheel, a chair spin, a slide into frame
3. do every real step: open the kit, pour the beads, add glitter, add fruit slices, seal it, squeeze
4. the filmer keeps asking normal questions the whole time, u answer like its a normal tutorial
5. follow the script below (or ur own version), we add the ai chaos where it says
6. never react to the chaos, u dont know its there, just keep doing the tutorial
7. end on the finished squishy squeezed right into the camera
8. send the raw vid to Cayla, dont edit it

aim for 60-90 s like the example (93 s), under 60 s is too short

the script (about 85s)

• 0-5s · cartwheel / spin / slide into frame, u: ok so today we're making a squishy
• 5-12s · filmer: u ever made one before? · u: nope, how hard can it be
• 12-20s · u open the kit, u: ok so we got the ball, water beads, glitter and these little fruit slices
• 20-28s · filmer: how many beads u think are in there? · u: idk a lot, u just pour them in like this · (AI: beads flood the whole canteen)
• 28-35s · u keep pouring, eyes on the ball: ok fill it halfway, dont rush
• 35-42s · u: then a bit of glitter · (AI: glitter tsunami) · u, still looking down: not too much or its messy
• 42-50s · filmer: what fruit u putting · u: strawberry, one slice is enough · (AI: giant strawberry slams down next to u)
• 50-58s · u: then u seal it tight, this part is abit hard · filmer: u sure u know what ur doing · u: yea trust me
• 58-66s · u: u can make it a cat paw too if u want · (AI: giant cat paw swipes past) · u: but round is fine
• 66-75s · filmer: is it squishy tho · u: oh its SO squishy · (AI: it explodes)
• 75-85s · u squeeze it into the camera: and thats it, thats how u make a squishy · filmer: where do i go · u: canteen, wed 18 to tue 24 nov, recess or lunch, come

u have NO idea the chaos is happening, never look at it, never react, never comment, u r just filming a normal boring tutorial

the filmer is the same, just keeps asking normal questions

its a proper full walkthrough, the (AI: ...) bits are what we add after, they hit out of nowhere for 1-2s then cut straight back like nothing happened, change any line u want, just keep talking normally the whole way

must haves: 60-90s, one take, 4+ AI moments, every real step shown
