PROJECT BRIEF — VIDEO EDITOR REQUIRED
CLT Digital — Homepage Hero Film
cltdigital.in | Legal Research Platform | India
PROJECT OVERVIEW
We are building CLT Digital — a legal research platform that enables Indian lawyers, corporate law departments, and attorney firms to search through millions of court judgements instantly with intelligent filters and a premium user experience.
We need a 75 second homepage hero video that communicates three core brand values: massive data depth, lightning-fast intelligent search, and a luxurious user experience. The film must feel premium, bright, and confident — not dark or dramatic.
DELIVERABLES
• Final video: 75 seconds
• Format 1 — Landscape 16:9 (1920x1080 minimum, 4K) for desktop/laptop
• Format 2 — Portrait 9:16 (1080x1920) for mobile viewing
• Format 3 — Square 1:1 (1080x1080) for social media
• Export: MP4, H.264, web-optimised for autoplay
• Source project file included in handoff
• Up to 2 rounds of revisions included
VISUAL DIRECTION
Mood: Bright, premium, confident. Morning light. Clean. No dark or pensive shots.
• Color grade: Warm and bright throughout. Push exposure up slightly. Lift shadows — no true blacks.
• Transitions: Straight cuts within scenes. Slow fade between scenes. No wipes, zooms, or flares.
• Text overlays: Clean sans-serif font (Inter, Montserrat, or Helvetica). White or dark text — no boxes or drop shadows.
• Sound: Ambient only — no music, no voiceover. Natural city sounds, office ambience, interior reverb.
• Geography: All footage must look Indian or Singaporean — posh, urban, modern. Glass buildings, premium interiors.
• No product UI shown at any point. The film communicates experience, not features.
FOOTAGE SOURCES
STRICT REQUIREMENT: All footage must be real camera-shot stock footage only. AI-generated video clips are strictly not permitted under any circumstances — not for any scene, not as a placeholder, not as a substitute when stock footage is unavailable. If a scene cannot be sourced with real footage, please flag it and suggest an alternative approach.
• You are required to keep a mix of man and woman characters and have at least 1 Indian origin face.
• You are required to provide details of sourcing each and every footage. You are required to establish that footages are not associated with licence/royalty.
• One AI animation is allowed in scene 3
AUDIO DIRECTION
THIS VIDEO IS COMPLETELY SILENT. No music. No ambient sound. No voiceover. No sound effects of any kind.
A muted speaker icon must be placed in the bottom-left or bottom-right corner of the video frame throughout the entire duration. On hover, it should display the tooltip: 'This video has no music.' This communicates the intentional silence to the viewer rather than making them think the video is broken. Please implement this as a static overlay burned into the export, or flag if the client's web team should implement it via the website video player instead.
SCENE-BY-SCENE BRIEF
The film has 6 scenes plus a closing title card. Total runtime: 60–70 seconds.
SCENE 1 — The World | 0:00–0:10
Concept: Open on the world these professionals live in. Cosmopolitan. High-stakes. First-world.
Visual: A first-world cosmopolitan city in full morning motion. Two or three rapid cuts:
• A wide shot of a gleaming city skyline — Singapore Marina Bay, Mumbai BKC, or a Bengaluru glass corridor. High-rises, bright morning sky.
• A busy pedestrian crossing — professionals in suits streaming across in all directions. Shot from ground level or slight elevation. Energy and purpose.
• Optional third cut: an aerial or street-level view of traffic and glass towers. Establishes scale.
Tone: Aspirational. Bright. The city is alive and moving fast.
Text overlay: None.
Stock search terms: 'Singapore Marina Bay skyline morning', 'busy pedestrian crossing city suits', 'Mumbai BKC aerial morning', 'cosmopolitan city intersection professionals'
SCENE 2 — The Weight of the Matter | 0:10–0:20
Concept: Establish the stakes. A high-value legal matter is in play.
Visual: Corporate executive in a sharp suit standing at a floor-to-ceiling window. Bright morning sunlight flooding in. A posh city skyline visible outside — Singapore Marina Bay, Mumbai BKC, or Bengaluru UB City aesthetic. He is still. Looking out. Thinking — not worried, calculating.
Shot angle: Side profile or from behind preferred. No direct face shot required.
Text overlay: None.
Stock search terms: 'executive window skyline thinking Singapore', 'businessman office city view bright India'
SCENE 3 — The Clock Starts | 0:20–0:28
Concept: A deadline is established. Time is now the enemy.
Visual: Close-up of a smartphone screen or a physical document being placed on a clean bright desk. The key visible text: 'Supreme Court Hearing — 4 Days'. Bright desk surface — white, glass, or light wood only. One professional hand visible — cufflink or clean watch preferred.
Execution: Source a real stock footage close-up of a phone or hand on a desk. Apply the notification text as a post-production overlay. No AI-generated footage permitted.
Text overlay: 'Hearing in 4 days' — lower center, medium size, fade in at 0:21, fade out at 0:27.
SCENE 4 — The Find | 0:28–0:42
Concept: The emotional core of the film. The problem is solved — instantly.
This scene has two beats:
Beat A (0:28–0:35): Professional at a bright minimal desk. Laptop open. Leaning slightly forward. Focused. Natural sunlight visible. Clean workspace.
Beat B (0:35–0:42): Same or similar professional — leaning back into chair. Arms relaxed. A quiet, controlled smile. Not a big grin — a lawyer's smile. The expression of someone who just found exactly what they needed.
Critical note: Beat B is the most important clip in the entire film. Laptop screen should NOT be clearly visible — slight angle or blur preferred. No product UI shown.
Text overlay: 'Millions of judgements. Found in seconds.' — fades in at 0:36, fades out at 0:42. Left side of frame.
SCENE 5 — Everywhere, Instantly | 0:42–0:56
Concept: CLT Digital is available anywhere. On any device. Always ready.
Three rapid cuts — different people, different locations, same gesture: eyes on phone, quiet confident expression, look up.
Clip A — The Car (0:42–0:47): Professional in backseat of luxury car. Leather interior. City expressway outside — bright, moving. Scrolling phone. Looks up. Settled.
Clip B — The Metro (0:47–0:51): Modern metro interior — bright, glass and steel. Professional seated, phone in hand. Natural window light. Reading. Subtle nod.
Clip C — The Walk (0:51–0:56): Glass corporate corridor or atrium. Bright. Professional walking with purpose, glancing at phone mid-stride.
Text overlay: 'Your research. Wherever you are.' — bottom center, small, holds across all three clips (0:43–0:55).
SCENE 6 — The Outcome | 0:56–1:06
Concept: This is what being ready looks like. Quiet victory.
Visual: A court lobby or formal legal corridor. Bright, high-ceilinged — Supreme Court of India aesthetic or Singapore High Court. Two lawyers in formal suits. One extends a hand, the other accepts. A dignified handshake. Not celebrating — confirming.
Body language: Calm confidence. No wide smiles. Formal and composed.
Text overlay: None. Let the image be the payoff.
CLOSING TITLE CARD | 1:06–1:15
Fade from Scene 6 to a clean white background.
Line 1 fades in: 'With CLT Digital, your research is ready.'
Line 2 fades in 2 seconds later: 'Millions of judgements. Instantly yours.'
CLT Digital logo fades in beneath both lines. Hold for 5 seconds.
EDITING RHYTHM
• Scene 1 (City): Fast — cut every 2–3 seconds. Energy and movement.
• Scene 2 (Executive): Slow — single held shot, 8–10 seconds. Let it breathe.
• Scene 3 (Notification): Single close-up, held 6–7 seconds.
• Scene 4 (The Find): Two beats — 6 seconds each. Slow build.
• Scene 5 (Everywhere): Fast — cut every 4–5 seconds across three locations.
• Scene 6 (Outcome): Slowest — single held shot, 8–10 seconds.
• Title card: Static hold, 9 seconds minimum.
COLOR GRADING DIRECTION
Apply uniformly across all clips to unify stock footage from different sources:
• Exposure: +0.3 (slightly brighter than source)
• Color temperature: Warm — push toward 5600K–6000K
• Saturation: Reduce to 85% of original — luxury feels slightly desaturated
• Shadows: Lift — minimum shadow value 15%. No true blacks anywhere.
• Contrast: Reduce slightly — soft contrast, not punchy
BUDGET & TIMELINE
• Budget: Please quote your best rate for this scope
• Timeline: First draft within 5 business days of brief acceptance
• Revisions: 3 rounds included
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR IN A BIDDER
• Portfolio showing brand films or corporate videos with a premium, minimal aesthetic
• Experience sourcing and colour-matching stock footage from multiple sources
• Ability to deliver in both landscape and portrait formats
• Familiarity with the Indian professional or legal context is a plus
• Please include a note in your proposal on how you would execute Scene 2 (the notification clip)
