personas

• title: Independent storyteller or AI filmmaker
  pains:

  • Producing a coherent original series requires tools, time and early financial support.
  • It is difficult to attract an audience to a new fictional world or characters.
• title: Creator or social video producer
  pains:

  • Moving between models and editors breaks the creative workflow.
  • Generating enough video to test ideas incurs recurring credit costs.
• title: Creative team or marketing lead
  pains:

  • Product and campaign videos need production speed without losing visual direction.

objections

• objection: What will ongoing generation cost?
  response: Estimate credits against actual video length and chosen models, then compare subscription and top-up costs.
