Hook template

Steal this for your own video

A rapid side-by-side switch from [dull, undesirable starting result] to [dramatic, polished final result] — no transition, no fade, just a hard cut that forces the viewer to register the gap.

  • — A hard cut from a flat, grey morning selfie with no makeup to a high-contrast, studio-lit portrait glowing with professional light.
  • — A jarring jump from a cluttered, dim living room with builder-grade lighting to the same room bathed in warm, layered ambient light after a $40 bulb swap.
  • — An instant switch from a pale, washed-out food photo taken with a phone flash to a rich, shadow-detailed dish shot with a single off-camera strobe.

Before flash. After flash. Cool, right? Come on set with me and I'll show you how it's done. Let me show you where this started. This is what natural light looked like rank I like it best it needs something. I want to use a flash. On this shoot I used Godox's Tier 30 Pro. They're today's sponsor. And as you can see there and tier, this thing is crazy packable and it's got some punch. Here's how it looks when you mount the flash right on your camera. And here's how it looks when it's off camera and you trigger it wirelessly. So I like this light. I think it's super portable and it gives you the opportunity to get that editorial flash look in nearly any situation. Here's my camera and lighting settings just in case you wanna try them out.
