Creative Compass

Prompt 1 of 8

Today's session

What does your audience need to hear from you right now — that only you can say?

Speak for 60 seconds. Be specific.

Recording

← Back Next →

Sound familiar?

You have the knowledge.
You have the message.

But every time you go to film, something gets in the way. You know what you want to say — so why does it feel this hard?

Confidence comes from clarity.
Direction is what gets you there.

😩

You stare at a blank page trying to figure out what to say

😤

You start recording, trail off, and delete the whole thing

🫠

You second-guess your angle, your hook, your words

😫

You spend more time preparing than actually filming

😬

You post inconsistently because showing up feels hard

😞

Your content doesn't sound like you — it sounds like everyone else

Introducing Creative Compass

The three-step system that gets you
posting on YouTube consistently.

No script. No guesswork. No blank page. Show up every week — not just when you "feel ready."

Step 1

Tell it your idea

Share your topic, your audience, and where you are in your content journey. That's it.

Step 2

Get your 8 questions

Creative Compass generates 8 targeted questions tailored to your niche, your filming style, and your level — so you always know exactly what to say.

Step 3

Show up and film

The app guides you through every prompt. Filter presets, filming tips, one-tap clip splitting — everything built in. You show up, we handle the rest.

Your YouTube video — filmed. 🎬

Plus 8 short-form clips, ready to post.

Who it's for

Built for anyone with something to say

You know your stuff. You can talk about it all day. But the moment you hit record, you go off on tangents — and lose the thread. Creative Compass gives you the structure to anchor your free-flow, so what comes out is clear, compelling, and actually says what you meant.

Sounds like you? Start free →

🎓

Coaches & Consultants

You film educational content but struggle to structure your thoughts on the spot. You need a director, not a script.

📚

Course Creators

You know your topic deeply but freeze when the camera turns on. The knowledge is there — you just need the questions to unlock it.

💼

Content Creators

You want to show up consistently on social without burning out on prep. Creative Compass makes filming the easy part.

🌟

Experts & Thought Leaders

You have years of knowledge but can't figure out what to say in 60 seconds. Your experience is the content — you just need the right prompts to bring it out.

Meet your guide

Built by a filmmaker.
Designed for you.

I've spent over 20 years in the industry — as an actor, producer, and director — and helping people tell their stories on film.

And the number one thing I've seen stop brilliant people from creating? It's not talent. It's not time. It's not even fear.

It's not knowing where to start.

That's why I built Creative Compass. Not from theory — from two decades of watching what actually works when you're standing in front of a lens, trying to connect with someone on the other side of a screen.

Every question it generates comes from real filmmaking methodology. The kind that helps you stop performing and start connecting with your audience.

Questions? We've got answers.

😬 I'm not good on camera.

That's exactly who this is built for. The guide does the thinking so you can just press record. No acting, no memorising — just one question at a time, with direction built in.

⏳ I don't have time to learn another tool.

If you can open your phone and follow a prompt, you already know how to use it. No setup, no onboarding videos. It opens in your browser and you're filming in under a minute.

🤖 I've tried AI content tools and they all feel generic.

This isn't a script generator. It's a live on-camera director guiding you through each shot — built by someone who's directed on Hollywood sets for 20+ years. The coaching is the point. The tech is just the delivery.

💻 Do I need any tech skills?

None. You type your idea, we handle the rest. If you can send an email, you can use Creative Compass.

🎁 What happens after my 7-day trial?

After 7 days the app continues at $8/month — no action needed, cancel anytime. Each session produces 1 long-form video plus 8 short-form clips, so you're getting a full content library for less than the price of a coffee. Want more? Premium ($28/month) adds all themed prompt packs plus Studio tools. VIP ($98/month) adds the full 5 Videos in 5 Days programme, weekly live calls with Elfina, and everything else.

🎬 Is this just a generic prompt generator?

No. Every prompt is built on real filmmaking methodology developed over 20+ years. It knows the difference between a talking head video and a lifestyle vlog — and adjusts accordingly.

🧭 What if I don't have a niche yet?

That's fine. Creative Compass meets you where you are. You'll actually get clearer on your niche through using it.

📱 Do I need my own AI tool?

No. The AI is built in — nothing else needed. You don't need to write prompts or know anything about AI. Just show up and film.

🌿 How does this work with the Authentically You community?

The app and the community are two different things. Subscribe here and you get the app — right away, at your tier. The community is a separate space on Skool. If you're a Premium or VIP member there, the app is already included — one price covers both. The app works great on its own. The community adds connection, support from other creators, and direct access to Elfina — it's where she hangs out.
