Give the video a clear purpose
Show the real starting state, a meaningful application step and the actual finished result.
Think about what nail artists need the viewer to understand first. Use the opening to establish that idea, then let the next shots add detail.
Build your shot list
- The nail before the application
- A visible brush stroke depositing polish
- The real polish bottle
- The hand turning to show the nail
- The completed manicure
Put the moments in order
Open with the nail before the application. Connect it to a visible brush stroke depositing polish and the real polish bottle, then use the hand turning to show the nail to add detail. Finish with the completed manicure.
Use supplied step labels only; do not promise a treatment result.
Try this editing prompt
Create a 25-second vertical video from my brush strokes, bottle details and finished manicure clips. Open with the nail before the application, follow with a visible brush stroke depositing polish, the real polish bottle, the hand turning to show the nail, and finish with the completed manicure. Use supplied step labels only; do not promise a treatment result.
Polish the details
Keep the actual polish color and nail anatomy; approaching the nail is not footage of application.
Give the next version a clear direction
Use a more comparable starting view immediately before the final reveal.
