Stop refilming. Start showing up with a plan.

You’re the director, talent, and editor — all at once. Cub Cuts gives you the brief that makes your shoot intentional before you press record.

We don’t make the video. We tell you exactly how to shoot it.

Below: a real briefA yoga studio

Walk & Talk · 0:30 · 8 shots

Sound familiar?

  1. 01

    You know what you want to say. You just never know how to start.

  2. 02

    So you hit record and figure it out as you go. Then you watch it back, hate it, and film it again. And again. An hour is gone before you have anything you can post, and it still does not feel right.

  3. 03

    The issue isn’t confidence. It’s structure. You are planning the video at the same time as you film it.

This is what comes back.

A real brief, shown whole — hook options to choose between, a timed shot for every beat, the words to say, the sound, and the call to action. Nothing here is trimmed for the website.

A yoga studioWalk & Talk · 0:30 · 8 shots

Hook options

  • “You don’t need to be flexible to start yoga.”

    relatability — Open mid-stride in selfie mode outside the studio; creator steps around a sidewalk obstacle while speaking directly to camera.

  • “The hardest part of yoga happens before class.”

    curiosity — Creator walks toward the studio entrance, points ahead, then turns the phone back toward their face before revealing the door.

  • “Your calmer week could start right behind this door.”

    aspiration — Start close on the creator pulling open the studio door, then swing into selfie framing with the entrance visible behind them.

  3. 03 · 0:07Voiceover: Your first class is where you learn—not where you perform.On screen: No audition requiredCamera: Side-angle handheld shot taken by a second person walking alongside the creator. Pedestrians and storefronts remain visible in the background.

  5. 05 · 0:15Voiceover: The win is simply showing up and giving yourself the hour.On screen: Success = arrivingCamera: Creator stops walking directly outside the studio entrance and faces the lens with steady eye contact. Hold the phone still for this beat.
  6. 06 · 0:19Voiceover: This is a real neighborhood studio, with real people starting somewhere.On screen: Right around the cornerCamera: Creator resumes walking toward the entrance. Camera pans briefly across the studio windows and people entering, only with their permission.
  7. 07 · 0:23Voiceover: Pick a class that fits your week. We’ll handle the rest.On screen: One small commitmentCamera: Over-the-shoulder shot outside the doorway as the creator scrolls the class schedule on their phone and taps an available session.
  8. 08 · 0:27Voiceover: Tap the link in bio and book your first class.On screen: Pick your time ↓Camera: Creator holds the open door, looks straight into the camera, and gestures downward once. End with the camera moving through the doorway for a natural loop into motion.

Sound

Warm understated lo-fi beat with light percussion, soft bass, and an easy walking tempo around 90 BPM.

low energy · original / library audio

Keep music beneath the voice and preserve footsteps, street ambience, the door sound, and the natural laugh during the wobble. Cut when each idea changes, not strictly on musical beats. Lower the track slightly when the creator stops in scene 5.

Call to action

Voiceover: Tap the link in bio and book your first class.On screen: Pick your time ↓Camera: At the studio entrance, creator holds the door open, maintains direct eye contact, and gestures downward toward the booking-link area.

Notes for the editor

Shoot during a moderately active class change so the studio feels lived-in without looking crowded. Keep every shot handheld and slightly imperfect. Frame the creator high enough to avoid TikTok UI covering their hands or the booking phone. Capture three complete walking takes, the balance wobble, schedule tap, exterior sign, and door entry. Get permission before showing identifiable clients. If timing runs long, tighten scene 6 rather than cutting the objection-handling beats.

Every brief exports as a plain text file — on every paid plan and on the Free Trial. PDF on Pro.

Formats that fit

All 6 are available on every plan, including the Free Trial. These three are where solo creator work usually lands.

Walk & Talk

No setup and no studio. You, the street, and the thing you wanted to say.

Vlog

For the days where the story is what happened, not what you are selling.

Trend

Borrow the shape that is already working and put your own point inside it.

That’s the difference between a creator who’s guessing and one who’s got a process.

You show up with a plan. You know your opening line, your three scenes, and how long each one runs. Free account. 1 brief to start — no card required.
