Use this brief
Create a [target runtime] faceless documentary for [channel audience] about [topic]. Make one defensible promise in the opening, organize the film around [central tension], use original scene-specific visuals, and finish with a conclusion that earns the next episode rather than begging for engagement.
Required inputs
- Channel thesis, audience sophistication, and one-sentence episode promise
- Approved source pack and a list of claims that must be checked manually
- Narration personality, pace, pronunciation notes, and prohibited phrases
- Visual identity references that the creator owns or may lawfully use
Editorial structure
- 1
Make the episode promise concrete in the first 20 seconds without a false or inflated claim.
- 2
State the thesis and the question the film will resolve.
- 3
Use three escalating chapters with a new factual and visual job in each.
- 4
Place the most memorable evidence or reversal before the conclusion, not only in the opening.
- 5
Close the argument, disclose meaningful synthetic reconstruction, and connect to a relevant next episode.
Acceptance checks
- Remove generic filler, repeated stock grammar, fake urgency, and unsupported income language.
- Verify originality across script, visual design, narration, score, and editorial framing.
- Check YouTube disclosure, monetization, copyright, and reused-content considerations for this exact upload.
- Approve title and thumbnail separately; Onira does not publish or guarantee performance.
Visual direction
Cinematic, subject-specific scenes with stable reference logic and enough variation in scale, geography, and composition to sustain a full episode.
Narration direction
Direct and editorial, with measured pacing and a recognizable point of view rather than generic listicle delivery.

Questions
Does this include YouTube autoposting?
No. Onira produces a reviewable MP4. The creator owns final fact review, disclosure, packaging, upload, and channel strategy.
Is a faceless format automatically original?
No. Originality comes from the thesis, research, writing, visual direction, narration, editing, and creator judgment, not from hiding the presenter.
