Build a Skill
Create a shoot-specific checklist that keeps your lighting, framing, distance, pose, camera setup, and visible finish consistent across both shots.
We'll use them to write your prompt.
Completed ✓
Make Your Play
Give us the situation. We’ll build the prompt.
Avoid before-and-after footage that looks exaggerated, mismatched, or unusable because the camera moved, the lighting changed, or the final pose wasn't repeated.
Your answers save as you type.
What you'll do
This is the plan inside your prompt. Add your details first. Then follow these steps with ChatGPT or Claude.
02
Capture and verify the before
You record the starting point without filters or automatic changes that could distort the comparison.
03
Match the after and run the fairness check
You rebuild the original setup, compare both shots, and fix mismatches while you still can.

Choose how you'll publish the comparison so your framing matches the final layout.

Describe where you're shooting, your light source, and anything that could change during the appointment.

Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
You enter what you’re filming and describe your setup in plain words. Run the prompt before the service starts. Keep the checklist open while you place your camera, lights, and client. If your phone doesn’t offer manual camera settings, use focus and exposure lock when available and avoid switching lenses.
Advanced instructions
You can add your exact focal length, exposure, white balance, light position, camera height, and distance measurements. Save the finished checklist as a reusable setup card for recurring services, then adjust only the details that truly change.
