Hot take: kids' content shouldn't feel like kids' content.
A lot of children's campaigns fall into the same trap: bright colors, upbeat music and polished footage that feels more like an ad about kids than something that actually captures them.
🎬 For this campaign, the goal was simple: make it feel like being there.
We turned 2 days of chaotic multi-camera footage + 4 unsynced lav mics into a 15+ asset campaign built around:
— Punchy pacing
— Real sound: chopping, sizzling, laughter
— Smooth slow-motion mixed with real-time moments
— Hand-reframed 9:16 edits
The first rough cut was approved with zero tonal revisions.
What started as a test edit became the full 5-part system + an ongoing North American retainer.
👀 Do you think kids' campaigns should feel polished or feel real?

My feed on X is full of impressive motion videos made with Claude, so I decided to try Opus 5.5 for the FTCG project. I asked it to create a dynamic video inspired by the FTCG game. The initial prompt was incredibly simple, and it took only an hour or two of experimentation to refine the result and add sound as the finishing touch. Not bad at all.
Great work
