Accelerator Studio Video Set | gener8tor
Nine videos, three cities, one week
gener8tor's Accelerator Studio needed pitch videos for seven companies plus two intro pieces, recorded across three locations inside a single week. In 2020. Which added a whole second set of constraints on top of the schedule. Covid protocols change how a shoot runs in ways that aren't obvious until you're doing it. Fewer people in a room, more distance between camera and subject, everything staged so nobody's crossing paths. It slows you down exactly when a nine-video week needs you moving fast. Pitch videos also have a specific failure mode. Every founder is nervous, every founder has too much to say, and every one of them is convinced their fifteen minutes needs to be in there. The job is helping each of them find the version that's actually convincing.
Who is
gener8tor
The gener8tor Accelerator Studio is a 16-week program where gener8tor partners with entrepreneurs to co-found and launch startups from the ground up. Studio 2020 ran seven companies through to a premiere.
Nine on time
All nine videos landed on schedule for premiere night, with seven founders each getting a pitch piece they could keep using with investors afterward. Running three locations in a week under covid restrictions is mostly a planning win rather than a camera one.
