Tips for best results

Focus on the emotional meaning of the story, not just the facts.
Share milestones, turning points, and the people who matter most.
List specific songs, moods, and visual preferences when you can.
Tell us what absolutely must be included and what feeling the final piece should leave behind.
Provide a clear deadline and any shared folder link if assets are ready.
