Briefs we tested this kit with

  1. A made-up kitchen gadget, 30 s. "Use the 90s TV infomercial kit. Sell the 'Chop-Tron 9' vegetable chopper (invented) at $24.99: cold open with the name spinning in, a turntable product shot, a before/after of a messy chopping board vs neat cubes, BUT WAIT with a free second blade, price burst and a flashing phone bar with a 555 number." Hints: reuse `blender()` as a template for a new `sets/` drawing; ticker text is the fine print ("NOT SOLD IN STORES").
  2. Parody of a real habit, 20 s (for a Short). "Sell 'The Snooze-Master Pillow' that cancels your 6 a.m. alarm: one shot per claim, each claim a sticker slap, a split-screen of a tired and a rested face as simple shapes, the price in a rocking burst." Hints: 4:3 inside 9:16 is not tested; stay 16:9.
  3. Explainer as a sales pitch, 45 s. "Explain compound interest as an infomercial for 'Money-Magic Jar' (invented): before = a flat line, after = a growing bar, BUT WAIT = the bonus 'start early' card, price burst reads 'FREE to try'." Hints: replace the tumblers with two bars drawn in the same style; numbers must be true.
