Let’s make your b-roll library work for you (not the other way around)

Let’s get real for a second: if you’re still manually wrangling your b-roll,

Naming files like “IMG4829final_FINAL.mp4,”

…and praying to the Google Drive gods that you’ll find that one perfect clip when you need it… it’s time for an intervention.

Because here’s the truth: your creative energy is sacred.

And it’s being siphoned off by the digital equivalent of sock-eating dryers — aka, clunky, soul-sucking admin tasks.

Let’s break the pattern.

You don’t need a fancy camera,

a film degree,

or a 12-step tech ritual to build a b-roll library that actually works for you.

You need three things: your phone, Google Drive, and a willingness to let automation do the heavy lifting (plus a dash of Gemini magic and a sprinkle of OpenAI).

Here’s the Tina-truth: the bottleneck isn’t your tech skills.

It’s the belief that you have to do it all yourself, perfectly, every time. (Spoiler: you don’t.)
