One person sunk to the shoulders in a sea of tiny balls makes 100 million feel real. The photo does the counting for you, as the beads run past every edge of the frame. No text is needed because the scale is the message.
How the packaging works
Title
The title supplies the count and the prank the image cannot explain.
Thumbnail
The thumbnail buries the creator to his shoulders in the beads, no text at all.
Remix this
When size is the whole idea, fill the frame edge to edge with the thing and put yourself in it for scale. One object shot against a human body beats any caption about how big it is.
The transferable lesson
Let the human body be the unit of measure.

Apply this pattern to your next video.
Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
