The Dental Co. - Updated Video Editing Brief

Editor-ready short-form video directions using the available raw files from Batch 1 and Batch 2. The style should feel calm, minimalist, refined and photo-led, with simple text overlays inspired by Restor Dental and clean editorial social layouts.

ClientThe Dental Co.
LocationChapel Street, Windsor VIC
Primary Format9:16 Reels / Shorts
Updated FocusBatch 2 priority + unique CTAs

1. Production Context

The available Drive folder contains two asset folders: BATCH 1 and BATCH 2. Batch 1 has a larger pool of short clinic clips and photos. Batch 2 includes newer photos and additional raw MP4 files, so the first four priority edits should use Batch 2 footage wherever the footage is suitable.

This brief is aligned with The Dental Co.'s current client rules, minimalist visual preference and dental advertising safety requirements. If a separate approved strategy plan is supplied later, cross-check service priorities before final production.

Drive folder: The Dental Co. raw assets

2. Editing Standards For All Videos

Format

Export 9:16 vertical at 1080x1920. Keep text within mobile safe zones. A 4:5 crop can be prepared if requested later.

Visual Style

Minimalist, calm and editorial. Use soft neutral backgrounds, clean type, simple lower-thirds and light text-over-photo treatment.

Pacing

Slow-to-medium pacing. Let clinic details breathe. Avoid heavy zooms, flashy transitions, meme-style overlays or loud effects.

Text Treatment

Use short, natural lines. Avoid large blocks of copy. One thought per frame. Do not make CTA text look like a fake clickable button.

Audio

Use soft ambient music or approved voiceover only. Mute raw audio if it includes private patient details, staging direction or unapproved clinical wording.

Compliance

No guarantees, superiority claims, fear-based language, testimonial-style claims, pricing, time-limited offers or promised clinical outcomes.
