The story worth telling
Batching works when the ideas are separate. Write one sentence for each short, list the shared footage and record the unique explanation for each. Stop filming when those stories have what they need.
Three things to capture
- Shared setting and process footage
- A separate explanation for each topic
- A distinct ending for each short
Let the camera run a little before and after each action. Those extra seconds give you room to find a better cut.

Before you share it
Check each export for repeated openings, mismatched captions and endings that belong to another episode.
