HelperFlow — Auto-translate · Storyboard v2

20 s · 9:16 (1080×1920) · Hook → Solution → Close · two renders: with sound (ElevenLabs voice + music + soft SFX) and silent (same picture, no audio). These stills are the real composition at each key moment; the motion is described under each frame.
Pick a hook: 4 options in the app style (v2)
All 4 options use the same cream canvas, teal, Manrope and app cards as the rest of the video. My pick is B: it shows the pain inside the same phone that Frame 02 then fixes, so the change from problem to solution is one continuous move. A is the clearest for sound-off. C is the most minimal. D is the warmest and most human.
Hook A: Translator loop
0.0 to 4.0s

Two app-style cards: 中文 on top, Tagalog below. The swap button spins and the Tagalog text types in. The Copy → Translate → Paste → Send pills light up in a loop. The counter goes ×3 … ×12. Last, a “Maria is waiting…” chip pops in.

VO “Still translating for your helper? Copy, translate, paste… every single message?”

Hook B: Every message twice
0.0 to 4.0s

The same phone as the rest of the video. Mei sends a 中文 bubble, then a pasted Tagalog copy appears (dashed, “pasted from translator”). Maria replies in Tagalog, and a new “??? …translating” bubble appears. The amber tag “Every message. Twice.” slaps on.

VO “Still translating for your helper? Every message… twice?”

Hook C: Kinetic type
0.0 to 4.0s

Type only. The teal pill word rolls fast through 翻譯中… → nagsasalin… → menerjemahkan… → translating, as a slot machine, and lands on English. The 4 language pills drift around it. This matches the close, which rolls “their own language” the same way.

VO “Still translating for your helper?”

Hook D: Illustrated Mei
0.0 to 4.0s

A Gemini illustration of Mei in the same style as the avatars, in a rounded card. Half-translated speech bubbles (中文, Tagalog?, Bahasa?) pop around her and wobble. The Copy → Translate → Paste pills loop under the card.

VO “Still translating for your helper? Copy, translate, paste…”

v1 (photo) — for comparison
0.0 to 4.0s

The first version. Its style is different from the app, so the 4 options above replace it.

Act 1: Hook — the option you pick goes here (0.0 to 4.0s)
0.0 to 4.0s

Gemini photo of a tired mom, slow push-in. Big headline word by word. The pills light up in a loop: Copy → Translate → Paste → Send. Counter ×3 … ×7 … ×12.

VO “Still translating for your helper? Copy, translate, paste… every single message?”

Act 2: Solution (8 language moments)
02: Home summary — English (Mike)
4.0 to 5.5s

The photo blurs to cream. The phone rises. The progress ring fills to 3/5.

VO “With HelperFlow, everyone writes in their own language.”

03a: Chat — Mei writes in 中文
5.5 to 6.7s

The bubble types in and sends. Maria's earlier message already shows in 中文 for Mei. The language track at the top marks 中文.

VO “Mei writes in Chinese.”

03b: Chat — Maria reads it in Tagalog
6.7 to 7.9s

The chip flips to Maria. The same bubble changes letter by letter into Tagalog. The track moves to Tagalog.

VO “Maria reads it in Tagalog.”

03c: Chat — Mike sees English
7.9 to 9.0s

The chip flips to Mike. Both messages are in English, with “Translated from …” tags.

VO “Mike sees English.”

04: Calendar — Bahasa Indonesia (Siti)
9.0 to 10.5s

The phone rail glides left. The event card drops in. The word list starts: Tasks.

VO “Tasks, meals,”

05: Meal planner — English (Mike)
10.5 to 12.0s

The dish cards slide in one by one. The list moves to Meals.

VO “…house rules,”

06: House rules — 中文 (Grandma)
12.0 to 13.5s

The rules appear with a “✓ 已接受” stamp. The list moves to Rules.

VO “…shopping lists —”

07: Shopping list — Tagalog (Maria)
13.5 to 15.0s

The items check off one by one. The list moves to Shopping.

VO “…all in each person's language.”

08: Push notifications — 4 languages
15.0 to 16.5s

The phone zooms out to 4 lock screens. The same reminder lands on all four at once, with 4 soft pings.

VO “Even the notifications.”

Act 3: Close
09: The line
16.5 to 18.5s

“their own language” rolls through 用自己的語言 → sa sarili nilang wika → dalam bahasanya → English. The avatars pop in.

VO “Everyone sees the same home — in their own language.”

10: CTA + logo
18.5 to 20.0s

The line moves up. The amber pill pops in. Then the logo, helperflow.app and the store badges. Hold 0.6s.

VO “Helper and family join free.”
