Scene breakdown

#TimeOn screenVoice-over / dialogue
10:00–0:08Hook. A fridge door opens: half a lemon, ketchup, one sad egg."It's 8 pm. You've worked ten hours. And this is dinner."
20:08–0:20Montage: delivery app scrolling, greasy takeaway bag, receipt total $34."So you order takeaway. Again. It costs too much, and you still feel tired after it."
30:20–0:35Logo reveal. Bright kitchen, a chef plating a bowl."GreenBox Kitchen cooks real food for your week — fresh, balanced, and ready in three minutes."
40:35–1:00Phone screen: choosing 5 meals from a weekly menu."Every Thursday you pick your meals for next week. Spicy, vegetarian, high-protein — mix whatever you like."
51:00–1:20Courier at a door on Sunday, cooler bag handed over."On Sunday we deliver everything chilled, in one bag, in a two-hour slot you choose."
61:20–1:40Microwave timer: 3:00. Steam, a fork digs in."On a weeknight, it's three minutes from fridge to plate. No shopping, no washing up."
71:40–2:00Text cards: "From $9.50 a meal", "Skip any week", "Recyclable packaging"."Meals start at $9.50. Skip or pause any week. And every container goes in your recycling bin."
82:00–2:15Customer (actor) at a desk, smiling.Priya: "I stopped stressing about dinner. And I've saved about $200 a month."
92:15–2:30CTA. Fridge from scene 1, now full of labelled boxes. Website and code on screen."Your first week is 30% off with code FIRSTBOX. GreenBox Kitchen — dinner, sorted."

Production notes

  • Total runtime: ~2:30 at a relaxed reading pace (about 300 words)
  • Scenes 1 and 9 use the same fridge for a before/after payoff
  • Scene 8 can be replaced with a real customer review if you have one
  • Music: light, upbeat acoustic; drop it out on the hook line in scene 1

About this service

Story channels live on retention: a cold open that drops viewers into the strangest moment, then a timeline that holds back the reveal and gives a reason to keep watching every few minutes. We write the narration in that rhythm from your sources or a case you choose, with clear notes on what is confirmed and what is speculation. With real crimes we never present people as guilty unless they were convicted, which protects your channel from claims and strikes.

What is included

  • What you getA narration script with a cold open, chapters, cliffhangers and visual notes, with a list of the facts it relies on so you can check them. Delivered as text and as a file.

What we need from you

The case, legend or story, links to the sources you trust, your channel's tone and episode length, and anything you will not show or name.

We will ask you:

  • Which case or story is the episode about?
  • What sources should we rely on?
  • What is your channel's tone?
  • How long are your episodes?

Questions and answers

Do you research the case?

We work from the sources you send and well-known public facts, and list every fact the script relies on so you can check it before recording.

Is it safe for monetization?

We describe violence without graphic detail, which keeps scripts closer to YouTube's advertiser-friendly guidelines; the final call is YouTube's.

Can it be fiction?

Yes. For creepypasta or mystery fiction channels we write original stories in the same format.
