Short-Form Video Production
Purpose
This skill guides short-form video creation from concept through publication. It emphasizes practitioner methodology: fast prototyping, finding what works before building process, and "sponge then sharpen" creative philosophy.
Core Philosophy: You can't build a franchise system if you're not already selling a billion cheeseburgers. Find what works FIRST, then build process around it.
When to Use This Skill
- Creating original short-form video content (Reels, TikTok, Shorts)
- Cutting podcast clips for short-form distribution
- Developing video formats and testing new concepts
- Optimizing existing video content for better performance
For captions and on-screen text only: Use video-caption-creation skill instead.
