be the cash TRANSITION Sound
Use these prompts for what to say & do in your video:
Transition Prompt
This is a great transition sound! The idea is that your video will start with you in one place or mindset and then end up with you in your ideal situation. Use it to transition: yourself at home to work, a client before and after, a product before and after:
Option 1 — No Face Option
Focus on Your Product — Show your product as raw materials or before you’ve added your touch. When the music shifts, snap or cover the phone and reveal your finished product (See example above)
Option 2
You #1 and You #2 — Either lip sync or just show yourself on video before the transition. This could be you in your pajamas, you before a speaking event, you getting ready to meet with a new client. Then transition to the opposite of that where you’re in your element; in your zone of genius.
Option 3
Your Service Before and After — If you’ve got a service you provide, be sure to grab some video of the “before” to play during the first part of the Sound. Then, show off your handy work after the music transitions.
already tired tomorrow Sound
Use these prompts for what to say & do in your video:
Prompt Option 1
Lip sync this sound with on screen text of your to do list for the day!
Prompt Option 2
No Face Option — Use this sound with a video of you writing in your planner or showing off your calendar for the next day.
Prompt Option 3
Highlight an event or special work you’re doing with video of behind the scenes or of you wrapping up the event.
