Short-form video for people who hate being on camera
Two days to ship five clips without appearing in any of them.
Why give it a weekend
An expert on your actual problem
The live session takes questions about your product and your list, not the topic in general. That is an hour of consulting you would otherwise pay for, aimed at the thing in front of you.
Everyone else’s workflow, not just your own
Every participant writes down how they did it, and all of them are published. You write one and you read the rest — that is the actual trade, and it is why the workflow is not optional.
A finished thing, not a plan
A hard 48-hour deadline and a room of people working the same weekend is the reason this ships when the version you have been meaning to do for a month has not.
A permanent entry in the archive
Your submission stays on the site under your name, linked to your maker profile, for anyone who reads the jam later. You can hide it whenever you want.
How the 48 hours run
- Done
Joining opens
Anyone can claim a place. Joining closes 24 hours before the deadline so there is time left to ship.
- Next up
Kickoff
The jam opens, the brief goes live and the resource pack unlocks.
Joining closes
The last moment to claim a place. After this the jam runs to the end with whoever is in.
Deliverables due
Submit what you shipped and the workflow behind it. Both are public by default, and you can hide yours at any time.
The expert
To be announced before the jam opens. The session runs live during the jam and takes questions about your product and your list, not the topic in general.
What you submit
Ship one of:
- Five short clips published to any platform - A single clip plus the full edit project - A repo or doc with your hooks, scripts and the tooling you assembled
Plus the workflow: your capture setup, your edit loop, and how long each clip actually took by the fifth one.
The workflow, in four questions
- Where did you start?The raw material you began the 48 hours with — the list, the segment, the footage, the empty repo. Someone repeating this needs to know what you had before you began.
- What did you actually do, in order?The steps, numbered. This is the part other people follow. Include the tools and the prompts if you used a model — a prompt that worked is worth more than a paragraph about prompting.
- What did you try that did not work?The dead ends. This is the half nobody publishes and the half that saves the next person two days.
- What would you do differently next time?One thing. Written to yourself, 48 hours ago.
Submitting a video? Upload it to YouTube and set it to unlisted — anyone with the link can watch, and it never shows up in search or on your channel. File-sharing links need permission granted per person, so nobody can open them.
