00:00:00:00 EXT. BROOKLYN EDIT SUITE - DAY

00:00:02:00 The rhythmic hum of high-end edit machines. Coffee brewing. Posters of classic films share wall space with avant-garde art.

00:00:06:00 INT. EDIT SUITE - CONTINUOUS

00:00:07:00 CARLOS (30s), an editor wearing a blue NYC cap and a mischievous grin, sips his coffee, eyes glued to a monitor.

00:00:10:00 CARLOS (V.O.) Brooklyn. The concrete jungle where dreams are cut, trimmed, and polished. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

00:00:14:00 00:00:14:00 Close on Carlos's face, a flicker of pure joy. He thrives on the creative chaos, the puzzle of storytelling.

00:00:17:00 CARLOS (V.O.) Some folks think editing is just about hitting buttons. But it’s art. It’s magic. It’s breathing life into… well, anything.

00:00:22:00 00:00:22:00 Carlos gestures wildly with his hands, mimicking a conductor. He queues up a new clip.

00:00:25:00 CARLOS (V.O.) And then… there’s this.

00:00:27:00 00:00:27:00 The screen shows a blank document. Carlos types. “Text-based 23.976 timecode of a story…”

00:00:30:00 CARLOS (V.O.) You know, the funny thing is, I had an idea for this. A brilliant, groundbreaking, totally original concept.

00:00:35:00 00:00:35:00 Carlos leans back, a wry smile playing on his lips. He winks at the camera.

00:00:38:00 CARLOS (V.O.) Then I thought, "Why bother? Let's see what the AI robots come up with." And here we are. Peak creativity. Made by a… me. But also… not.

00:00:44:00 00:00:44:00 Carlos bursts into laughter, a genuine, uninhibited sound. He claps his hands together.

00:00:46:00 CARLOS (V.O.) Funny, isn't it? Even when the machines try to create, they still need a good editor to make it sing.
