For your application:

During our interview process, you'll have several chances to get acquainted with the Runway product and use all the features our team has built - and that starts now! As part of your application, instead of a cover letter, we ask that you try out the Runway product, specifically build a custom workflow.

Build a Custom Runway Workflow:

1. Sign up for a free Runway account (no payment required)
2. Review these resources:
1. Tutorial
2. Guide
3. Build a workflow based on your own creative idea or theme.
1. Your workflow should include at least 3 steps
2. Think about a real creative problem someone might solve with Runway
4. Submit in the application:
1. Screenshot of your completed workflow
2. Brief description (3-4 sentences): What's your creative concept? What does your workflow accomplish? Who would use this?

Note: Free accounts can build workflows but can't run them - that's fine! We want to see your ability to learn the product and think creatively about how customers might use it.
