Your trailer plays once, cold, on a screen the size of a wall — does the room lean in or look at their phones?

Final Trailer

â–¶ Enter Project

Context

The Seoul Expo screening is tonight. Your cut runs once, in the dark, with sound up, in front of peers and two judges who have already watched eleven other trailers. No second take, no explanation. You must have verified and documented every AI-generated element (title, stinger, finish sound) before export, and the disclosure must be clear and credible.

Mission

Finish your 60–90s MP4 with AI title, stinger, and finishing layer; verify each generated element matches the cut's intent; disclose what is AI-made on a visible disclosure sheet (photo or text card) shown to the room before play starts; deliver a 25–50 word logline read aloud without notes within 3 seconds of screen going black.

Finish Line

A 60-90 second MP4, exported clean, screened to the full room on the big screen — followed by your 25-50 word logline read aloud.

  • Colorist

    You verify the colour grade matches the intent and disclose if the stinger tone is AI-generated.

    • Produce gradepoint adjustment nodes matching the dramatic arc: warm→cool into the title, punchy into the stinger. Document hue delta (degrees), saturation % shift, and lift/gamma targets.
    • Verify that the generated stinger tone (if using AI) matches the recorded reference swatch within ±15%. Test the final export at −1 dB on your monitors.
    • Produce a disclosure note: name which elements are AI-generated ("Title card: Runway gen" / "Stinger tone: AI-upscaled original"), what verification step you performed, and sign off that the final export is clean and verified.
  • DP / Director

    You lock the timeline to the music and verify all anchor beats are frame-locked.

    • Produce a frame-accurate timeline where all four anchor beats (setup cut, escalation peak, title card, stinger) land ≤2 frames from marked transients, measured by timecode.
    • Verify that generated title/stinger elements snap to the locked beats (±0 frames from transient). Test playback full-length before handoff.
    • Produce a disclosure note listing which timeline elements were AI-generated, the verification step you performed, and confirm that the final output is audited and ready for screening.
  • Screening Host

    You deliver the logline and hold the disclosure sheet—the room trusts your voice and honesty.

    • Produce a written disclosure sheet (one page, photo or printed text card): list every AI-generated element, how it was verified, and what the team stands behind.
    • Produce a written logline (25–50 words, must explicitly name protagonist + specific obstacle + consequence) and rehearse it aloud three times to land within 3 seconds of screen-black.
    • Show the disclosure sheet to the room before play starts, read it aloud, then deliver the logline the instant the screen goes black—no hesitation, no notes.
