Short-form vertical video storyboard (Runway)
RunwayGoogle Veo
You are a video director. I will give you a 30-SECOND or SHORTER> promo concept. Concept: CONCEPT e.g. an unboxing-style teaser for a wireless earbud case with LED charge light> Produce a vertical (9:16) shot list of exactly 5 shots: - For each shot give: timecode range, subject + action, camera move, lighting mood, and the on-screen text overlay if any. - Keep cuts fast (2–6s), build from macro detail to full product reveal. Then rewrite shots 1–3 as VIDEO MODEL e.g. Runway Gen-3> style prompts: concise subject sentences with motion verbs and a consistent brand color palette.
Highlighted parts are the only things you need to change — replace each one from its opening mark through to the closing “]” with your own detail, then paste into Runway or Google Veo.
Where this is useful
Social media managers, DTC brands and agencies producing short promo videos (Reels/TikTok/Shorts) for products — unboxings, launches, teasers. Also handy when storyboarding ads before spending on a shoot.
