Barbershop fresh cut
A reel for a barber built on the reveal. The clippers work fast and close, then the cape whips off in slow motion as the music comes in.

What Vidova will do
Make a 12-second, 9:16 reel for my barbershop, built on the reveal. The clippers and the razor play fast and close with their own buzz, then the cape whips off in quarter-speed slow motion as the music comes in at full. The client grins, and my shop front closes it with my shop's name and how to book. Footage: I attach two or three close clips of the work, such as clippers on a fade and the razor on the line-up, each without a cut inside it. I attach one reveal clip with the cape coming off and the face clear. I also attach one moving clip of my shop front with someone walking in, with the top or the bottom of the frame free for the card. Look: One tungsten shop grade on every shot: warmer, with more contrast, a little more saturation and a vignette. Every shot creeps in and never pulls back, about 7 percent on the work, 10 percent on the reveal and 6 percent on the front. No words appear until the shop front. Timing: From 0 to 2.3 seconds, the clippers go up the side of the fade at 1.4 times speed. From 2.3 to 4.1 seconds, the razor works the hairline at 1.3 times speed. From 4.1 seconds, a hand grabs the cape and the clip rushes at about 1.8 times speed. Hero moment: At 4.85 seconds the reveal brakes in 0.25 seconds and drops to a quarter speed with AI smoothing while the cape is in the air and the face first shows clear. Start the song so a downbeat lands on that frame, and the music jumps from almost silent to full on it. At 6.65 seconds the clip eases back to real speed for the grin and the chair starting to turn. Ending: At 7.65 seconds, cut to my shop front. After about a second, an opaque band drops into the safe zone in 0.45 seconds, on the side the person walking in leaves clear. My shop's name rises in word by word in Anton capitals at 132 pixels. My booking line blurs in under it as one sentence in Red Hat Display, with my site or address in a brass accent (#d9a35b). The name appears once. The reel ends at about 11.6 seconds. Sound: Use a hip hop or trap beat with a clear downbeat. Under the work it plays at 16 percent, so the clippers' own buzz carries the start and is heard in the first second. Level the work shots so the buzz sounds the same from cut to cut. On the reveal the music comes up to full in 0.12 seconds, then it fades over the last 1.2 seconds. Add no sound effects.
