Before and After Transformation Script Template

[BEFORE - 0:00 to 0:30 | about 91 words]
Open on the honest before, unfiltered, same lighting and same angle as the after will use.
"[WHAT THIS LOOKED LIKE AT THE START], and [THE ONE THING THAT WAS WORST ABOUT IT]."
Put the elapsed time and the total cost on screen here, not at the end.

[WHY IT WAS LIKE THIS - 0:30 to 1:30 | about 181 words]
"[SPECIFIC CAUSE], not [THE OBVIOUS BUT WRONG CAUSE]."
"This is not a skill problem, it is [THE ACTUAL CONSTRAINT]."
Give the viewer a reason this applies to their own version of the problem.

[THE PLAN - 1:30 to 3:00 | about 272 words]
"Our plan: [THREE STEPS]."
"Budget: [AMOUNT]. Time: [DURATION]. Tools: [SHORT LIST]."
Show the plan on screen so the viewer can follow the same order.

[THE PROCESS - 3:00 to 6:30 | about 634 words]
Work through each step with the failure in it.
"Step one: [ACTION]. This took [TIME], and it went [HOW]."
"Step two: [ACTION]. Here is where we got it wrong the first time: [THE MISTAKE]."
"Step three: [ACTION]. The fix was [THE FIX], which we only found by [HOW]."
Show the ugly middle: half finished, taped, clamped, and messy.

[THE REVEAL - 6:30 to 8:00 | about 272 words]
Cut to the after from the exact same angle and lighting as the first shot.
"Same camera, same corner, [TIME] later."
Say the number that matters: "[COST] and [DURATION] total."

[WHAT DID NOT WORK - 8:00 to 9:00 | about 181 words]
"Three things did not work: [ITEM ONE], [ITEM TWO], [ITEM THREE]."
"Two things I would do differently: [CHANGE ONE] and [CHANGE TWO]."
