The story worth telling
If you claim the workflow is simpler, show the workflow. If the product is a prototype, show the prototype. The video becomes easier to trust when the picture and the language describe the same stage of reality.
Three things to capture
- The task before the product
- The product performing the task
- The observable result
Let the camera run a little before and after each action. Those extra seconds give you room to find a better cut.
Give the edit a shape
State the practical promise
Demonstrate it
Explain the relevant next step
Before you share it
Remove unsupported guarantees and check that the edited demonstration represents normal operation.
