How the day works

Factory is open one hour only (11–12). Capture silent BTS on the floor — machines, stacks, walks. No talking on the warehouse floor during that hour. All dialogue and VO get recorded at the flat from 12:30 (same day, in the VO batch — or pick up later if needed).

V2 = warehouse only, music in edit — zero VO. V3 shoots as five mini-reels (one per category). First 3 seconds = hook on every dialogue reel.

Gear checklist

Warehouse hour

  • Camera + lens(es) for vertical 9:16 and wide establishing
  • Stabilizer or handheld — follow walks, floor pans
  • No lav on floor during WH hour — silent footage only; record VO/dialogue at flat
  • Spare batteries — you won't come back
  • Card labelled WH_BTS

Flat / studio

  • Clip-on lav mic + spare battery (woman primary, both for couple batches)
  • Tripod or stand for talking head + overhead product shots
  • Overhead rig or arm for table/lid shots (V3, V6, V9)
  • Macro lens or close-focus for V9 ASMR (lid open, foil, print texture)
  • Phone for V5 screen record
  • Cards/folders: 01_ … 09_ + WH_BTS

Warehouse — what to capture (50 min)

Move fast. Factory may only be closed ~1 hour. Prioritize what's actually running.

  • Process wide — full floor establishing, 2–3 angles
  • Press / print — sheet moving, ink on board macro, 5 sec clips × 3 angles
  • Cut / trim — die-cut hands, worker at station
  • QC — hands checking lid alignment on box
  • Stack / pack — closed boxes piling up, placing box on stack
  • Stack pan — slow pan across Diwali cartons (V1, V2 cutaways)
  • Silent walk — follow through aisle (cutaway for V1, V6)
  • Box hero silent — illustrated lid to lens, trace design
  • Foil / print macro — for V9 ASMR + V4 features
V2 = music-only reel. Capture rhythm: press beat, cutter snap, stack thud. No talent dialogue on floor.
Label card folder WH_BTS — V2 primary + cutaways for 1, 6, 9.

Format + deliverables

  • 9:16 vertical throughout — primary deliverable is Reels
  • Warehouse clips: label WH_ prefix on card or separate folder
  • Flat clips: label by video 01_, 02_, etc.
  • Min 2 takes on every dialogue block at flat
  • B-roll inserts tagged mentally: machine / hands / stacks / walk — editor matches to script
