Steal this for your own video

Open on [athlete/subject] looking [relaxed/casual emotion], then cut immediately to [same subject in peak performance action].

  • — Open on a surfer laughing on the beach, then cut immediately to the same surfer dropping into a massive wave.
  • — Open on a chef smiling calmly at the camera, then cut immediately to the same chef executing a rapid, high-flame wok toss.
  • — Open on a powerlifter sitting casually on a gym bench, then cut immediately to the same powerlifter mid-deadlift at max weight.
