 Stage 3: B-Roll.
Gather and Download B-Roll.

Put all B-Roll into sequence.

❗ NOTE: this is “essential” b-roll. B-roll that you know will need to be used at a
particular time in the video. You may decide to add more b-roll footage once
you begin implementing the music. This way you can actually time b-roll
footage to the music, or at least have the b-roll match the theme and tempo of
the sountrack.

Stage 4: Music.
Put music into timeline.

Stage 5: Animations.
Gather assets for animations.

Create animations + put them into timeline.

Stage 6: Special Effects.

Additional special effects + extra touches.

Stage 7: Sound Design.

Sound design.
