What this operator handles

The work, scoped.

Project Diagnostic & Health Scan

Free to try

Free interactive diagnostic that evaluates your project's narrative clarity, platform alignment, and execution feasibility in under 10 minutes. Surfaces 3 structural blind spots and a strategic next step — no script required, just a logline and a bottleneck.

Script Analysis Report

Paid

Formal script coverage and diagnostic assessment with Executive Scorecard, Act-by-Act Structural Heatmap, and Flaw & Budget Risk Log. Identifies exactly what is broken and why it will hurt production or pitching — stops before rewriting scenes, creating a clean escalation trigger to deeper restructuring or production bibles.

Production Bible Creation

Paid

Comprehensive production-ready handbook that locks director's vision into operational mandates for every department. Covers camera/lighting rules, color palette per act, VFX pipeline specs, and scene breakdown sheets — preventing the misalignment that causes reshoots and post nightmares.

Pitch Deck Refinement

Paid

Restructures investor-facing pitch materials from atmospheric vision decks into fundable business propositions. Front-loads logline and hook in first 3 slides, integrates comparable benchmarks and risk mitigation, and engineers a clear funding call-to-action with milestones and capital deployment.

Platform Specific Video Marketing Framework

Paid

Transforms a single core video production into an omni-channel performance engine. Re-cuts assets into platform-native variants with 2-second hook architecture, safe-zone formatting, and funnel-stage creative mapping — dramatically lowering UA costs without expensive reshoots.

On Set Directing

Premium

Direct expert involvement during production to maintain creative vision, solve real-time technical problems, and ensure every department decision serves the final platform and audience outcome. Escalated when pre-planning reveals high-stakes ambiguity or when production needs hands-on leadership.

Script to Screen Consulting

Premium

End-to-end oversight from locked script through final delivery. Sunny directs the creative and technical pipeline personally, bridging pre-production planning, on-set execution, and post-production command — ensuring the final product matches the commercial and artistic goals defined at intake.

Post Production Rescue Triage

Premium

Emergency intervention for broken footage, mismatched coverage, or story collapse in the edit. Sunny evaluates salvageability against three unfixable signals, then engineers creative/technical workarounds (re-framing, sound design, custom compositing) that specialists miss — or recommends reshoot with full accountability.

Full VFX and Color Supervision

Premium

Hands-on supervision of visual effects and color grading pipelines, ensuring creative intent survives the technical handoff. Covers compositing reviews, LUT pipeline validation, CG integration checks, and final color pass alignment — preventing the visual drift that kills audience immersion.

High Stakes Creative Pivots

Premium

Direct expert intervention when a project requires fundamental creative redirection mid-stream — script overhaul during production, platform shift after delivery, brand crisis response, or investor-driven changes. Sunny manages the pivot's impact on budget, timeline, and crew morale while preserving core commercial value.
