Phases

Use these cards when you want to display content with an image, such as a blog post or product. They’re built with CSS grid to enable the 3-column layout. When you select the “Cards Grid Container,” you’ll see a red icon on the top right. Click the icon to edit the number of columns, the column gap, and more!

The card images have fit set to cover, so they fill their masking container without stretching. Try making the “Cards Image Mask” a circle using border-radius or adjusting the size ratio using top padding. Don’t forget to set an alt description for each image, which will help with accessibility.

Memes and Static Media
"You don't have to wait for the next recession"📉

We will develop a set of several static assets to compliment each video concept to be used as social media posts, ads, print media, and website.

Alternates

Below are some alternate concepts that did not make the cut either for cost efficiency, practicality, or quality. However if any of these concepts stand out to you let us know and we can discuss developing them further.

"Just the Beef"

Talent 1 walks into a butcher and asks for a few cuts of beef.

Butcher walks into the back and comes back out with a whole live cow and says that will be $10,000

Narrator: you don't have to buy the whole cow to get the beef, go to Roots.house and make money with fractional real estate investing.

"Minimalism"

Talent 1 and Talent 2 walking out of a coffee shop

Talent 2 says “Been doing intermittent fasting, Ive really embraced minimalism trying to save up to invest in real estate”

Talent 2 “We can go hang at my place”

Both turn the corner and Talent 2 opens the door to a van that they are clearly living out of

Final scene shows them cramped sitting at a table in the van

Narrator: You don't have to be a minimalist to afford real estate, Become a Roots.house co-investor and make money with fractional investing

"FOMO"

Talent 1 and Talent 2 are working at a cafe

Talent 1 is looking through homes to invest in and says “I have so much FOMO about this housing boom”

Talent 2 “well get in on it, I did”

Talent 1 “I can't afford a down payment”

Talent 2 “you don't have to with roots.house you can co-invest and make money with fractional investing”
