Virginia Commonwealth University × Bezar Video Studio · Phase 1 Proof
Module 01 — Know Your Data
The first module and the reusable engine behind it. This is what every module will look like — and the whole thing is driven by an editable text file so your team can update it without us.
75s · 1080p master + captioned web encode + .srt sidecar. Voice is a provisional stand-in (swappable). This web copy is compressed; the master is full quality.
What this proof establishes
- Official VCU branding — the real VCU wordmark (Public-Domain "VCU typeface") and VCU's official digital palette pulled from brand.vcu.edu / Compass.
- Accessibility built in — burned-in captions in a fixed safe zone that graphics never enter, plus a matching SRT file (Section 508).
- Content-as-data — every word, category, and example lives in a plain text file. No re-animation to make edits.
- Repeatable engine — the same builder produces Modules 02–10 from their own content files.

The self-serve loop
Edit the module's text file→
python3 build_module.py 01→
re-voices only what changed→
new captioned video
Example — change a category example and the "never" rule in the source, rebuild, done:
{ "n": "CATEGORY 1", "name": "RESTRICTED", "rule": "Never",
"examples": "Student records (FERPA) · health data (HIPAA) · SSNs" }
# then: python3 build_module.py 01
# → re-renders graphics + captions; only re-voices scenes whose script changed
Before the full series
- Swap in VCU's official logo file (we used the PD wordmark as a faithful stand-in) and confirm the voice.
- Confirm Module 01 copy with IT Governance for accuracy.
- Then we produce Modules 00 & 02–10 from the template and hand you the self-serve kit.
