THE REFERENCE — THE GREENSCREEN TALK-OVER, LIVE

THE PROMPT — COPY, SWAP THE BRACKETS, RUN

HeyGen green-screen build. AVATAR: casual woman, late 20s, oversized crewneck, minimal makeup, small hoop earrings, framed chest-up and offset left so the background stays readable. BACKGROUND: your uploaded screenshot of [ARTICLE OR APP SCREEN — e.g. a headline reading "Gen Z has quietly stopped using banks"], enlarged so the key line sits beside her head. Delivery: fast, conversational, slightly conspiratorial — explaining gossip, not presenting news. The hook is line 1 plus the screenshot filling frame one.

SCRIPT (word-for-word, one take):
Line 1 (urgent, pointing at the screenshot): "Okay, everyone keeps sending me this, so let's actually talk about it."
Line 2 (leaning in): "This is about [TOPIC — e.g. "hidden bank fees"], and the part nobody's saying out loud is that you're probably paying for it right now."
Line 3 (matter-of-fact): "I tested [PRODUCT — e.g. "Ledgr, a $9/mo budgeting app"] for two weeks to see if it actually fixed this."
Line 4 (small pause, then genuinely surprised): "It did. [SPECIFIC RESULT — e.g. "It flagged $140 in subscriptions I forgot existed"] — in the first ten minutes."
Line 5 (shrug, wrapping up): "The old way costs way more than nine dollars a month. Link's below. Do what you want with that."
