# Self-demo on the operator's own body

## What it is

The front camera is on the operator themselves, and their own face or body is both the demo surface and the payoff. One line opens the video — a craving line, a quoted comment, a claim — and either stays pinned or drops after the first beat; the rest is a wordless self-applied routine in one unchanging frame, ending on the surface visibly changed.

## Why it works

Doing it to yourself on camera is the cheapest credible proof there is: nobody hired the face, and the before-state was volunteered. Because the frame never changes, the change in the skin is the only event, so it cannot be edited into existence.

## The beats, in order

1. the opening line lands over the untreated state — the worst-looking frame is offered first
2. the product goes on, self-applied, same frame
3. the working step, closer
4. the removal or second pass, the surface starting to change
5. the finished surface held in the identical frame the video opened on

## On-screen text

one line on the opening beat — pinned unchanged for the runtime, or dropped after the first beat and never replaced; no per-beat captions, no labels

## Camera

one fixed front camera on the operator's own face or body, same distance and angle all runtime; no cutaway, no second location

## Higgsfield — image prompt

```
vertical 9:16, {operator described exactly} facing a fixed front camera in {their own room described exactly}, {product described exactly} being applied to {their own body area}, {light source}, phone front-camera look, slight grain, no retouching, no on-screen text
```

## Higgsfield — motion

```
camera fixed and unchanged for every beat (same seed); only the operator's hands and the state of {body area} change
```
