Purple. Fast-paced commentary content lives or dies on whether the B-roll feels like it was pulled specifically for that line, not just loosely on-topic filler dropped in to fill space. I'd work straight off your narration script, timing each excerpt or clip so it lands the instant the reference hits, not a beat late, which is usually what separates B-roll that reinforces the story from B-roll that just decorates it. My approach: Pull movie or drama excerpts that match the exact beat being narrated, not just the general topic Vary pacing between quick cuts and held shots so retention stays high without feeling frantic Keep source quality consistent so cuts between stock and excerpts don't feel jarring Happy to start with the ten dollar test on a two to three minute clip so you can see the matching quality before committing to the ongoing 9 to 10 minute workload. Quick question, do you already have the narration script or audio ready for the test clip, or should I work from a placeholder first?
