Transcript excerpt

If I see one more white studio model shot, I am going to lose it. This is what we're doing instead. No more photos, it's a reel no. But tier model doesn't have to do anything because the real juice is in the background, where there's something completely unrelated happening. And think about how you can stack these videos to create layers in your campaign. Each video is an opportunity to add more lore to your world. It's that easy, but you guys would rather post this garbage and wonder why you get 12 likes.
