Scene breakdown
| # | Time | On screen | Voice-over / dialogue |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0:00–0:08 | Hook. A fridge door opens: half a lemon, ketchup, one sad egg. | "It's 8 pm. You've worked ten hours. And this is dinner." |
| 2 | 0:08–0:20 | Montage: 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." |
| 3 | 0:20–0:35 | Logo reveal. Bright kitchen, a chef plating a bowl. | "GreenBox Kitchen cooks real food for your week — fresh, balanced, and ready in three minutes." |
| 4 | 0:35–1:00 | Phone 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." |
| 5 | 1:00–1:20 | Courier 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." |
| 6 | 1:20–1:40 | Microwave timer: 3:00. Steam, a fork digs in. | "On a weeknight, it's three minutes from fridge to plate. No shopping, no washing up." |
| 7 | 1:40–2:00 | Text 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." |
| 8 | 2:00–2:15 | Customer (actor) at a desk, smiling. | Priya: "I stopped stressing about dinner. And I've saved about $200 a month." |
| 9 | 2:15–2:30 | CTA. 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
A web series pilot has to do three jobs in a few minutes: introduce characters people want to see again, set up the world and show the engine that will produce every next episode, then end on a reason to click the next one. We write a pilot script in standard screenplay layout, sized for YouTube or a festival web series slot, with a cold open that hooks in the first minute and a budget kept realistic for an indie crew. Higher packages add loglines for further episodes and a short series overview for pitching.
