# Treatment research / 2026-09-13

These are public references, not purchased templates or an exhaustive survey. Studio website text was read; visual observations below concern only the returned Mobbin images. The formal strategies are original adaptations informed by film criticism, not claims that the studios use a specific avant-garde formula.

- Pitch Studio — https://www.pitch-studio.com/ : organizes treatment craft around reference, tone, casting, visual language, and production approach. Adaptation: support every emotional promise with practical choices. No template assets copied.
- pitch.dog — https://www.pitch.dog/ : offers treatments and pitch sites, with project-specific writing and design rather than a universal visual wrapper. Adaptation: make each series feel distinct while sharing navigation. Public work listing was read; private decks were not accessed.
- Flim — https://flim.ai/director-treatment : explains integrating reference frames beside the choices they support and differentiates treatment-stage generated images from production material. Adaptation: use captions stating what a reference demonstrates; do not present generated people as actual casting. Product claims are vendor statements, not independent findings.
- BFI, The peak of silent cinema — https://www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/features/peak-silent-cinema : discusses montage, close-ups, and rhythmic editing as expressive tools. Adaptation: alternate sentence, question, and sequence layouts; preserve the factual continuity of interviews.
- BFI, Experimental Cinema: Structures, Systems and Strategies — https://shop.bfi.org.uk/experimental-cinema-structures-systems-and-strategies-paperback/ : public book description situates experimental film in deliberately constructed formal strategies. The book itself was not read. Adaptation: specify one repeatable formal rule and what it accomplishes.
- Mobbin, Obvious Presenting slides — https://mobbin.com/flows/0757fd32-5698-4be2-812b-c63ceb1f176b : preview images show a centered presentation canvas, bottom previous/next, position, and exit. Adaptation: keep viewer controls stable while slide composition changes.
- Mobbin, Pitch Slideshow — https://mobbin.com/flows/d48a9f3b-9e0d-4ab9-a2af-07f3ad0898bd : preview images show an image/text cover, segmented bottom progress, and an index slide. Adaptation: varied slide compositions with compact chapter navigation; no copying of its imagery.

Aurora application: white space, cartoon prism branding, rainbow preview borders; Gen Z uses a recurring unfinished sentence and small lived moments; leadership uses claim → scene → action → consequence → limit. Retain the bottom-third, non-blurred details popover and its closing animation. These are Aurora-specific choices, not mandatory rules for unrelated treatments.
