A strong custom video depends on what you send after ordering. The more clearly you organize the basic details, the easier it becomes to create a result that feels intentional, polished, and personal.

The must-send information

These details should always be included in the brief.

• Recipient name and pronunciation. This prevents awkward mistakes and helps the message sound confident.
• The occasion and deadline. The event type and timing shape tone and priority.
• Desired tone. Funny, heartfelt, romantic, respectful, or celebratory helps guide the writing.
• Core message. The one emotional takeaway you most want the recipient to remember.

The details that improve quality fast

These are not always required, but they often upgrade the result immediately.

• A short memory or story. This makes the message feel specific instead of generic.
• A few defining traits. These help shape the emotional language naturally.
• A curated photo set. Good images improve the visual quality and emotional rhythm.
• Context about the relationship. It helps the message land at the right level of intimacy or respect.

What not to send

Too much random input can lower the quality instead of raising it.

• Huge unfiltered folders. Too many average images make the story harder to shape.
• Too many competing ideas. A focused concept is easier to execute well.
• Generic praise with no specifics. The video becomes flatter if the emotional anchor is weak.
• Late corrections on core details. Important changes are best handled early, not at the end.
