Contest Brief

Hi. This project is for writting ONLY, the winning writing will be used in a video at a later date. So the text will be similar to storyboard work. I want the winner to simply help better describe the process in ordering as described below. There will only be text in the video just like the videos attached. THERE WILL BE NO PEOPLE IN THE VIDEO. The writer can describe how the text interacts if it is important to the scenes writting.

The video will be a promo video to describe how a commissions wood carving is made by my company House of Carvings. The video will have separate animated frames where the text will appear which describes the design process. If I explain how I create the product I would like someone to create sections of CREATIVE TEXT ranging between 1-10 words long to explain each process. I want section(s) of the text to explain and help convey how bespoke, one of a kind and thoughtful such a gift would be.

PLEASE take a look at video to see how I would like the text to appear.

I want the text to appear similar to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLU_HDbpepw or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sVoibmiC-A .

Please see the file attached showing the product I make so your able to gain an understanding.

The process involved in creating the Our Linked Letters-

1. The customer wants a different, thoughtful gift that will be treasured for life. This will be the opening video slide / scene, so I want the text to clearly illustrate this so anyone who sees the video on youtube etc it is a video about a unique wedding/couples gift, encouraging them to press play.

2. HC logo appears
3. Text describing a customer is stuck for an idea.
4. Next scene will be showing a wedding invite, I want the initials, & symbol and the date to jump of the page.
5. The next scene will need writting to suggest using House of Carvings (HC) to achieve the perfect gift.
6. Possible explain our bespoke wedding gifts
7. Next place an order.
8. HC draw from their experience and sketch the initials merge letters together.
9. Design passed to customer for approval.
10. Once approved we start working our magic.
11. HC select prime wood
12. The letters are cut out and shaped.
13. Engrave the letters with the & symbol.
14. Below this engraved with the wedding date.
15. Waxed and polished.
16. Dispatched.
17. Received.
18. Given to the couple.
19. Opened and loved by the couple (highlighting the thoughtfulness, one of a kind gift).
20. The last scene I would like a slogan explaining the unique, thoughtful one of a kind gift/commission piece of art.

I would like more frames to make the video longer, so this is where the creative writing comes in again possible highlighting the beauty of the oak, letters etc.

Please get in touch if you need further guidance, however I am open to all text suggestions. Remember I want the whole video to be told in a story of textra, NO PEOPLE will appear.

    Hello Dave, I guess only employers can send PM to bidders. Could you please send me a PM so I can attach the word file? It'd be nice to at least have my contribution read. I did attempt to send a clearer file but was denied access as the contest had ended. Very sorry for the trouble.

    guys, don't be too caught up with how the words appear (unless it critical to the wording) the creative visuals in the video will be worked in a separate contest with video editors. I just want creative writting explaining the process of choosing and making my product. Thanks

    And to clarify, The video will be TEXT only, all animated. I do not want people in the video (real or animated), so maybe take a look at the example videos I have attached to see how I want the finished text to appear on the video. Thanks Dave

    Hello, May I know if you intend marketing the carvings only as wedding gifts or as official emblem for companies too?
