Creative direction

Use the track to tell a story of growth. Start with a 'then' photo and transition to a 'now' video on the beat drop.

Looks like a fit for: Gen Z creators and high-skill editors

• Do: Sync the transition to the lyric 'slipping through my fingers'.
• Do: Use high-quality archival footage for the 'then' portion.
• Do: Include a text overlay that highlights a specific milestone.
• Do: Keep the edit under 30 seconds for maximum retention.
• Avoid: Don't use the sound for high-energy dance trends; it kills the mood.
• Avoid: Don't ignore the lyrics; the emotional payoff is in the storytelling.
• Avoid: Don't use low-resolution photos that distract from the emotional impact.
