# Companion video script — 7 minutes

**Paper:** P1 | P2 | P3
**Working video title:**
**Target length:** 6:30–8:00
**Target audience:** A second-year community college student who has had Math 2A and is curious but skeptical

## Hook (0:00–0:20)
The image or claim that makes them stop scrolling. No throat-clearing. No "hey everybody."

> Bad: "Hi, today I want to talk about eigenvalues."
> Good: "This $14 piece of fishing line is going to teach you what an eigenvector actually is."

## The question (0:20–1:00)
- Whose problem is this?
- Why has nobody solved it well yet?
- Why should the viewer care in 30 seconds?

[VO: …]

## The minimum linear algebra (1:00–2:30)
The smallest set of LA concepts a viewer needs to understand the punchline. ONE Manim animation of the core idea. No more.

- Concept 1:
- Concept 2:
- The single animation:

## The contribution (2:30–4:30)
The hardware / code / framework, shown working. Real footage, real numbers. This is the "money shot" of the video.

## What the data says (4:30–6:00)
Pilot results, with honest uncertainty. Show at least one failure case. Honest reporting buys credibility you cannot fake.

## What this changes (6:00–6:30)
ONE sentence about the bigger frame: classroom practice, equity, AI in education. Don't oversell.

## Call to action (6:30–7:00)
- "Paper is here:" link
- "Code/hardware is here:" link
- "If you teach Math 2BL, here's how to remix this:" link
- Subscribe ask, but make it specific to the next video in the series

## Production checklist
- [ ] Storyboard sketched on paper
- [ ] Manim animations rendered at 1080p60
- [ ] B-roll captured (kit shots, classroom, screen captures)
- [ ] VO recorded in one session, room-treated
- [ ] First cut viewed with sound off — does it still make sense?
- [ ] First cut viewed with sound on at 1.5x — still clear?
- [ ] Captions auto-generated, manually corrected for math terms
- [ ] Thumbnail A/B candidates designed
- [ ] Description written with paper link, code link, chapters, & one-paragraph TL;DR
- [ ] Posted within 7 days of paper submission for max linkage
