9:34These Optical Illusions Seem Impossible
Save referenceCuriosity Gap
Elon Musk's face is printed out and cut into strips. Fingers are sliding the strips away, but you can't see what that does to the face yet. The title says the result seems impossible, so you click to watch it happen.
'Seem Impossible' tells you the result will look wrong even though it's real, and 'These' promises a string of tricks, not just the one on the thumbnail.
Real fingers on printed strips show it's a paper trick you could try at home, and a famous face makes any change to it instantly noticeable.
When your lesson is a hands-on demonstration, photograph it halfway through, with your hands still doing the step. Use something everyone knows as the subject, so any change is obvious, and keep the result for the video.
Freeze the demo halfway, on a subject everyone knows.
Apply this pattern to your next video.
Bring the reference into a packaging brief, then decide what your title and thumbnail should each communicate.
