A founder produced 46 app promo videos in 4 days with zero creators after a UGC creator quoted her $250 per video. Her first self-shot video got 20k views, then she let Claude take over: it studied 249 viral app promos and extracted 15 hook formats, directed her one-hour filming sessions, picked the best takes, edited them, and scheduled everything via Postiz. At the $250/video rate, 46 videos would cost $11,500, so the system pays for itself on the first batch. She calls the approach FGC (founder-generated content) — faster hook iteration than UGC — and the poster plans to replicate the full method in his own app studio.
