10:20Can You Make 1 Million Layer Puff Pastry By Hand ?
Save referenceScale & Specificity
A million layers is an absurd target, and absurd numbers get checked, not scrolled past. The image answers with a counter, seven layers in, folded dough cradled in floury hands. The distance between seven and a million is the story you click to watch.
Title
The title asks whether an absurd number is even possible by hand.
Thumbnail
Floury hands cradle folded dough labelled seven layers in, the very start of the climb.
When your title states a huge target, let the image show the humble starting point. The gap between the two numbers creates a journey the viewer wants to follow.
Big number in the title, small number in the image.
