Five reels, told in order
Rebuilt from your notes. Each reel tells one part of the story from the start, with far more on screen: the graded meeting shots, your concert footage, the real app, a circle on your name, pop-ups, and your Ordinary Product music. Nothing is posted.

What's in every reel
- The story. In the order you'd tell it: the whole project (1), the QR check-in (2), getting on the App Store (3), the two sides of the app (4), what it means to you (5). Captions re-timed on every word.
- The visuals. The DJI meeting shots, graded with your DJI LUT. Your concert shoot. Real screens of the app, the check-in stands, the App Store page. Full screen, on the word that names them.
- Your name. When you say اسمي and باسمي, a pen circle draws around ‘Alan Beshay’ on the App Store page. A box lands on each branch as you name it.
- Pop-ups. Your app icon, the App Store, Xcode, React and Apple Pay pop up as you say them.
- The ending. After your last word the music comes back up: quick shots of the concert and the meeting on its beats, the Bandmakers logo pops, then the white card.
- The music. Your Ordinary Product sounds, one per reel: low under your voice, full on the ending.
1 · I built an app for a music school
The whole story: the meeting, a full app for a music school, its branches, from Excel to one app, the build, the App Store, what today's meeting is for.
2 · The QR code at the door
The small features: each student's schedule, the QR stand at every branch's door, open 15 minutes before class.
3 · Getting it on the App Store
App Store before Play Store, Apple's stricter review, one rejection, live, and the app moving to your name.
4 · Two sides, one app
Students and staff, the four kinds of staff, payments tested, Apple Pay next, Paymob inside the app.
5 · The first software I built
What it means to you, two months in, step by step to a finished app.
Your calls
- Instagram. I tried to pull Bandmakers' posts from Instagram and my side blocked the download, so nothing from their Instagram is in. Send me the posts you want and I'll cut them in.
- The QR codes. The stands show a dummy QR (it only reads ‘BANDMAKERS · branch’) and the typed code line is gone. The real check-in codes never appear.
- Your surname. Reel 3 circles ‘Alan Beshay’, the developer name on the App Store page.
- The music. Reel 3 has the one fully instrumental sound. The others keep the vocal chops they had on Ordinary Product. Say ‘swap music on 2’ to change one.
- The end card. Still ‘Follow the build’ and @alan_samer on your logo card. Tell me another line, or no card.
