Anniversary Cut
Build the highlight reel for the occasion: the archive queried for the person and the years that matter, clips chosen with stated reasons, assembled through the project's media pipeline with a run log, and delivered with a chapter list and a dedication — the reel that makes the birthday. Locks the occasion and the selection criteria FIRST (era coverage, the famous moments in, a length budget), then selects from the archive with no invented footage, then assembles, then writes the presentation notes. Use for birthday reels, anniversary videos, memorial montages, 'make a highlight reel', and milestone tributes.
How it runs
| # | Step | Who runs it | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Scope the occasion | Developer | occasion, person, selection criteria and length budget locked |
| 2 | Select the clips | Developer | the cut list: archive clips chosen with reasons, in reel order |
| 3 | Assemble the reel | Developer | the reel rendered through the media pipeline, log on disk |
| 4 | Chapters and dedication | Copywriter | the chapter list, the dedication, how to play it on the day |
| 5 | Evaluate | Reviewer | Grade the deliverable against every acceptance criterion. All pass → finish; any fail → loop back and fix the gap. |
| 6 | Finish | Developer | All acceptance criteria met. Stamp a short summary and report DONE. |
Say something like "make a highlight reel" or "anniversary video" or "birthday montage" or "put together a tribute" or "clips of grandma over the years" in chat to start it.
