NINJA-360
Ninja Warp Speed
The production pipeline. One client visit → the client deliverable + the show — "Found in KC" (we put local businesses on the M.A.P.). Automation bolted onto your already-proven Hasan editing system — not a rebuild. The goal: faster to publish than anyone, so you get paid faster.
1 · The One-Visit Model — Two Tracks, Two Outputs
One trip to the client's location
Track 1 · Visibility — Tim
Drone + 360 capture (the M.A.P. work)
→ Client deliverable
Track 2 · Story — Gabe
Interview session + cinematic shots
→ The show
Self-doc layer: Osmo Pocket 3 + phone + car dash cam + behind-the-scenes → the on-location segment of the podcast. You're filming yourselves doing the real work.
The Final blends both: Gabe's interviews & shots + Tim's drone & 360s. Show = on-location segment + studio segment (Lucky 13 — Erik's only entry point).
2 · The 9-Stage Pipeline
automated (runs while you're still in the field)the one hands-on step
3 · The Folder Tree (proven — adopt as-is)
📁 00_BRIEF — brief · notes · brand
📁 01_RAW — do not rename/move
📁 02_WORKING
📁 03_EXPORTS — Shedit drafts V01/V02
📁 04_FINAL — only when truly final
"Ready to Edit" gate: RAW in 01_RAW + brand in 00_BRIEF + brief done → triggers Warp Speed.
4 · What Warp Speed Automates
- A · Ingest & sort — reads tags/names, files each asset (360 · drone · stills · interview · BTS)
- B · Auto color — applies the Ninja LUT per camera
- C · Auto nadir — stamps the Nadir preset on 360 + drone-down
- D · Shedit — auto-cuts a V01 from the shot list + story template → drops in 03_EXPORTS
Pavan revives + extends your existing "Hasan Pipeline Builder" Apps Script — seed already exists.
5 · Settings To Lock (before automation can run)
| Device / layer | Status | Source |
| 360 (Theta Z1) — HDR / EV | LOCK | EG America SOW + SOP Internal v3 — pull exact values |
| Drone — ortho ~160–170ft, orbit rules | LOCK | EG America SOW — pull exact values |
| Osmo Pocket 3 (self-doc / on-location) | DEFINE | Tim + Gabe — new for the show layer |
| Phone (self-doc / BTS) | DEFINE | Tim + Gabe |
| Car dash cam | DEFINE | Tim — confirm res/framerate usable in edit |
| Interview A/V (studio + location) | DEFINE | Gabe — mics, cameras, lighting standard |
I won't invent camera settings — the LOCK rows get pulled from your real docs; the DEFINE rows are the Monday-with-Gabe work. Naming + tags get locked at the same time (that's the hinge that makes auto-sort work).
6 · Ownership — The LLC Holds the IP
Ninja-360 Digital Media LLC owns all of it.
The pipeline, the coined IP, every preset, template, script, LUT, and frame of footage sits with Ninja-360 Digital Media LLC (operating as ninja360.net). The roles below are who builds and operates each piece — not who owns it. Everything a partner creates here is work-for-hire assigned to the LLC, per the Partner Framework. Tim owns the LLC; the LLC holds the IP — so it stays a business asset, not a personal one. No role confers ownership, equity, or a claim on the assets.

Tim
Founder / operator. Shoot SOP + approval gate · Track 1 (drone/360) · captures the Ninja LUT

Gabe
Builds/operates: Ninja Editor · Track 2 (interview/shots) · LUT + nadir + story templates

Pavan
Builds/operates: automation (extend the script) · folder scaffolding · tags · shoot-wrap form
Coined, brandable, and owned by Ninja-360 Digital Media LLC — IP asset #3: Ninja Warp Speed (the pipeline) · Shedit (the auto first cut) · Ninja Editor (the role) · Nadir preset (branded 360/drone patch). Optional volume tier: Hasan at $80 FPV / $35 standard, 24h.
7 · Statement of Work (SOW)
Objective
Automate the front of the proven Hasan system so a finished shoot becomes a review-ready Shedit draft with near-zero manual handling — while capturing the show from the same visit.
Success metrics
- Shoot-to-publish time — baseline → target (e.g. 24h)
- Weeks shipped ÷ 13 — sprint delivery rate
- % drafts passing review in ≤1 pass
Scope (five workstreams)
- 1 · Shoot SOP — standardized 2-track capture so automation can run
- 2 · Warp Speed — auto-sort → auto-color → auto-nadir → Shedit into 03_EXPORTS
- 3 · Templates & assets — Ninja LUT · Nadir preset · story templates · tag taxonomy
- 4 · Automation — extend the existing Apps Script (Pavan)
- 5 · Show layer — on-location + studio segments feed "Found in KC"
8 · SOP — The Shoot (2 tracks)
Owner: Tim. Reference: SOP Internal v3 §7.1–7.2 + EG America SOW.
| # | Step | Owner |
| 1 | Pre-production — scope · LAANC · weather · gear · client timing | Tim |
| 2 | Track 1 capture — walk-through → exterior drone → interior 360s → stills → FPV. Theta Z1 HDR/EV, drone ortho 160–170ft, orbit rules | Tim |
| 3 | Track 2 capture — interview session + cinematic shots | Gabe |
| 4 | Self-doc layer — Osmo Pocket 3 + phone + car dash cam + BTS → on-location show segment | Both |
| 5 | Name + tag at the source — every asset named to standard so auto-sort works | Both |
| 6 | Upload at the car (same day) into 01_RAW | Whoever's driving |
| 7 | 2-min shoot-wrap form → completes Project Brief + notes (blog + show fuel) | Pavan builds · Tim fills |
"Ready to Edit" gate: RAW in 01_RAW + brand in 00_BRIEF/BRAND + Project Brief done → triggers Warp Speed. If any of these three is missing, the pipeline does not start.

The six pipeline stages (A–F)
- A · Ingest & sort — 360 · drone · stills · interview · BTS
- B · Auto color — Ninja LUT applied per camera
- C · Auto nadir — Nadir preset on 360 + drone-down
- D · Shedit auto-assembly — V01 dropped in 03_EXPORTS
- E · Ninja Editor · Gabe — calibrate color/story/brand/nadir on V01; ≤1 pass
- F · Approve → publish · Tim → 04_FINAL → GHL autopost → blog → measure shoot-to-publish
A–D = Warp Speed automation. E = the one hands-on step. F = the approval gate.
10 · Templates & Assets to Build (all owned by the LLC)
| Asset | Owner (build) | Status |
| Ninja LUT | Tim → Gabe | DEFINE |
| Nadir preset | Gabe | DEFINE |
| Story / shot templates | Gabe + Tim | DEFINE |
| Tag taxonomy + capture naming | Pavan + Tim | LOCK · hinge for auto-sort |
| Warp Speed automation (extend Pipeline Builder script) | Pavan | DEFINE |
| 2-min shoot-wrap form | Pavan | DEFINE |
11 · Ties to Pay + Sprint
- Pavan milestone (engine pay · Bucket 2): "Warp Speed live" = script does auto sort/color/nadir/Shedit into 03_EXPORTS, written "done" spec. See Partner Pay.
- Gabe (Gate 0): Ninja Editor + Track 2 + LUT/nadir/template design. Pilot fee is Ledger A · engine work is Ledger B.
- Speed = paid-faster loop: track shoot-to-publish from day one · beat Hasan's 24h edit SLA end-to-end · publish faster than anyone in KC.
12 · Immediate Next Actions
- Pull SOP Internal v3 + EG America SOW settings into Section 8 (concretize Track 1 shoot spec).
- Open the "Hasan Pipeline Builder" script — scope existing vs. Warp Speed adds (Pavan).
- Lock tag taxonomy + capture naming (Tim + Pavan) — the hinge for auto-sort.
- DEFINE show-layer settings with Gabe (Osmo/phone/dashcam/interview) + the Track 2 interview workflow.
- Capture the Ninja LUT (Tim → Gabe); Gabe drafts the "Inside [Business]" story template (the Shedit blueprint).
- Decide one-tier (Gabe) vs two-tier (Gabe + Hasan); confirm Hasan availability.
- Set shoot-to-publish baseline + target at the Monday sync.
- Register / trademark under the LLC: "Ninja-360" (+ consider "M.A.P. System" + the coined Warp Speed terms); log handles + assets to the LLC.
Faster to publish than anyone = paid faster.
Shoot-to-publish is the one number that matters.
