What's in every reel
- Picture. Your shots from the shots page on the words that name them. Their premium-design reels on the interior lines, and the crane and the transport truck (the 'wagon') on the transport lines.
- Pop-ups. Name cards, the numbers counting up slowly (150 shows a year, 24 hours), a few titles, the three words one by one, the questions as full-screen cards, Ai.Beyot's logo on each closing line.
- Sound. Your instrumental tracks (1A, 1B, 1C), muffled under the talking and full on the outro. One soft sound per graphic.
- Ending. Theirs: shots on the beat, Ai.Beyot's logo, the white card. No Alan Productions card.
1 · Matthew Hoag
What changed
- Hook. 'It has all the comforts of a modern apartment' on his face, their 'Built For Comfort' card beside him.
- Story. The festival → 150 shows a year → hotel rooms → glamorous but hardcore → 'anything that can resemble home'.
- Music. 1C (max taylor 36).
2 · Rani Kalan
What changed
- Hook. 'I called someone from Lebanon: look how cool this is. I swear.'
- Story. Starlight → the DJs' capsules → 'a high-end apartment' (their interiors) → the finishing → the crane → 24 hours, not a week (the truck) → 'It's a solution.'
- Music. 1B (max taylor 41).
3 · Mohamed Fawaz
What changed
- Hook. «في لبنان كنا نستخدم كرافانات صغيرة… بس مش بنفس الشكل ده»
- Story. The interior → you can't tell from outside → even the LED is engraved inside → building and fixing a room every time vs. 'you bring the room' (the crane, the truck) → «بتريّحني».
- Music. 1A (max taylor 26).
4 · Abu Bakr
What changed
- Hook. «بصراحة أول مرة شفت لاونج زي كده… بالشكل الخرافي»
- Story. The design (premium shots) → 'if it were ours I'd put it on the sea' (their capsule by the sea) → «خيال».
- Music. 1B (max taylor 41).
5 · Mohammed Hazem
What changed
- Hook. 'What a better place to launch our first event, at one of the greatest monuments in the world.'
- Story. 20–25 years (their own history: their building, their name in red, a unit unfolding mid-air, him putting up the sign) → a real mobile home (the capsule towed on the highway) → Exit → 'surprise is a very small word' → 'many more events together.'
- Music. 1A (max taylor 26).
6 · Everyone
What changed
- Questions. Your first reaction? · Ever seen a lounge like this? · Where would you put one? · Would you sleep here? · Three words?
- Ending. Mohammed: 'Be ready with your checkbook, and that's it.'
- Music. 1B (max taylor 41).
Your calls
- Taken out since the scripts page. Ums, restarts and long silences. Examples: Matthew's 'Right,' and 'Yes,', Rani's 'uh… so' and 'like that,', Fawaz's repeated «صغيرة», Abu Bakr's «يعني» and a 1.3 s «آه», Mohammed's 'uh' and 'like'. Every cut was checked so no word lost a letter. If one sounds off, give me the video number and the second.
- Waiting on you. Internet logos and festival footage (Starlight, EXIT, Interstellar Plus, Ai.Beyot's official logo). I asked in chat. Nothing is downloaded until you say yes. For now the festival is shown with your own shot of the STARLIGHT wall.
- Names. Matthew's surname is Hoag (his company's site), not Hauk. Is the bald production man Abu Bakr Ibrahim? The card says so until you correct it.
- Nothing posted. Nothing is posted or in the Content System, and no credits were spent. The first five reels are off this page; their files stay on your Desktop.
