5y ago

How to steal it

setting Β· outdoor city
  1. 01
    Hook (0-2s)

    Open cold on outdoor city. Sound on. Visual question in the first frame.

    Brickell Β· Roll camera before you arrive at Brickell Ave at golden hour or Biscayne Blvd south of 5th. The reveal IS the hook.

  2. 02
    Set the frame (2-4s)

    Establish outdoor city with your hero prop. Wide on the 16mm so the GT3 RS sells the scale.

    Brickell Β· Keep the prop count to 1. More props = more cuts = lower retention.

  3. 03
    Payoff (4-9s)

    Use direct to camera rant to deliver the rewatch moment. One idea, one take.

    Brickell Β· Cut on the reaction, not the line. If it's a price reveal, hold the number on screen for 1.5s.

  4. 04
    Reaction / proof (9-13s)

    Show the consequence. Bystander head-turn, valet face, on-screen receipt β€” whatever makes the payoff feel real.

    Brickell Β· Casa Tua and Komodo valets are cinematic. E11even paddock for nightlife crowd. Hard Rock paddock during F1 weekend = prebuilt audience.

05
CTA / outro (13-15s)

Implicit beats explicit. Let the caption + pinned comment ask. End on the asset, not your face.

Brickell Β· Tag @imalexgunnar in the caption. Pin the objection comment within 60s of posting.

Where in Miami
  • Gas station Β· Shell SW 8th + Brickell Ave (24/7, premium pump, clean lighting).
  • Valet Β· Casa Tua, Komodo, E11even β€” pull-up + handoff is the cinematic moment.
  • Penthouse Β· Flow Brickell roof or your unit. Skyline backdrop reads premium.
  • Track / paddock Β· Hard Rock paddock during F1 weekend = pre-built audience.
  • Cold start Β· Brickell Ave south of 8th at 6:30am β€” empty street, hard light.
