# Word-per-beat internal reveal — rebuild sheet

A 20.8s fully-CGI clip: a translucent glass-like human figure applies onion slices to its feet, wraps them, sleeps, and wakes glowing from the inside — one bold word on screen per beat. 7,746,489 views · 130,214 likes · @herbal_healing_path.

**Why it works** — The caption is one word at a time, so the sentence is never finished and you cannot leave mid-read; every word costs another beat of watch time. And because the body is see-through, the payoff is an *interior* shot — the ribcage lighting up warm from within — which is a proof image no real camera could ever capture, so the remedy looks like it worked without a single before/after of real skin.

**The beats**

| Time | What happens | On-screen text |
|---|---|---|
| 1.67s | Extreme close-up of a translucent glass-like foot, sole to camera, on pale bedding; a raw red onion slice pressed flat to the arch. Warm indoor light, shallow focus. | WHEN |
| 5.00s | Translucent hands hold a stack of onion slices over a translucent foot on a dark wooden table, top slice lifted toward camera. Dark room, one warm light. | ONION |
| 8.33s | The full figure sits on the edge of a bed, bent forward, wrapping cling film around both feet with the onion on the soles. Dim bedroom, pillows and headboard. | SLEEP |
| 11.66s | Close on head and upper chest, eyes closed, faint smile; the ribcage and collarbones visible inside the body, glowing warm amber from within. | BODY |
| 15.00s | Wide: the figure sits on the bed and stretches both arms overhead, sunrise pouring through the window. Lamp, nightstand, slippers on the floor. | SAY |
| 18.33s | The figure stands facing camera, winking, holding a plain white sign printed "Follow". Same bedroom, warm sunrise light. | IT |

Gaps, stated plainly: these are six stills sampled across 20.8s, so there are almost certainly more caption words between them — the six above are the words visible at the sampled beats, not the whole sentence. No audio was available, so whether there is a voiceover reading those words is unknown. No product, label or brand appears anywhere in frame. Whether the camera drifts *within* a beat cannot be told from stills.

**What carries the value** — The see-through body. The remedy goes on the outside, the effect is shown lighting up on the inside. Everything else — the bedroom, the sunrise, the sign — is dressing.

**Shoot it**

Be honest about this one: the transparent figure cannot be shot on a phone. It is generated. But the *structure* is phone-shootable with a real person, and only the glow beat needs generating (or replacing with a lit close-up).

- **Camera** — one shot per beat, each reframed: macro on the application point, tabletop on the hands, wide from bed-height for the routine, portrait close-up for the payoff, wide again for the wake-up, chest-up for the sign. Handheld is fine; keep every beat under 3s.
- **Light** — beats 1–3 warm, low, single-source and dim (night). Beats 5–6 hard warm sunrise through a window behind the subject. The light flipping from night to morning is what sells the "you slept and it worked" turn — don't skip it.
- **Wardrobe / set** — a real bed, real pillows, a lamp, slippers on the floor. No styling, no clothing detail that dates it, no logos. Face optional and never speaking to camera; the payoff beat is eyes closed.
- **Text** — one word on screen at a time, bold white all-caps, centred low, dark shadow. Write the sentence first, then cut the beats to the words — not the other way round.
- **The CTA is a prop**, not an end card: someone holds a plain printed sign in the last beat.

**Or generate it**

The most important beat is the interior glow (11.66s):

```
vertical 9:16 photoreal CGI render, chest-and-head close-up of {SUBJECT} rendered
as a fully translucent glass-like human figure — bald, no clothing detail, skin
like polished clear resin — eyes closed, faint smile, ribcage and collarbones
visible inside the body and glowing warm amber from within as if lit under the
sternum, {PRODUCT} out of frame at this beat; softly blurred bedroom behind,
pillows and dark headboard, warm low-key light, shallow depth of field,
no on-screen text
```

**Motion:** very slow push in on the chest and face while the internal glow rises in brightness — the figure itself barely moves, only breathing.

**Text overlay pattern:** one bold white all-caps word per beat, centred low with a dark drop shadow, only one word on screen at a time, the words reading as a single continuous sentence across the runtime — `WHEN / {PRODUCT} / {ACTION} / BODY / SAY / IT`.

Generate every beat from the same figure seed, or the body stops being the same body and the reveal stops meaning anything.
