Hook template

Steal this for your own video

Hold up a [visually unexpected object] from [niche or origin] directly to the camera in close frame, letting its [unusual color, texture, or size] do the stopping before you say a word.

  • — Hold up a jet-black garlic bulb from a Korean fermentation cave directly to the camera in close frame, letting its deep obsidian color do the stopping before you say a word.
  • — Hold up an oversized, neon-orange truffle mushroom from the Pacific Northwest directly to the camera in close frame, letting its alien texture and size do the stopping before you say a word.
  • — Hold up a translucent, blue-tinted raw diamond from a South African mine directly to the camera in close frame, letting its impossible color do the stopping before you say a word.
