# Sticky-line maker demo — rebuild sheet

A 59-second hands-only sinus-drainage treatment on one reclined woman, shot from over the practitioner's shoulder, under a single unchanging text box — 1,391,118 views, 15,939 likes, by hernesholistic.

**Why it works**

One line is pinned in the same spot, word for word, for the entire runtime, so nothing on screen ever competes with the hands: the viewer re-reads the promise while watching the technique, and every second of footage reads as evidence for it. The operator is never a face — only hands and forearms — so there is no personality to distrust and no permission needed to keep watching; the free, copyable specificity of the finger placement is what earns the time.

**The beats**

| Time | What happens | On-screen text |
|---|---|---|
| 4.72s | Very tight three-quarter on the reclined woman's face, shot from above and behind her head. A hand comes down from the top of frame, thumb flat against the bridge of her nose; a second hand rests across her far cheek. Eyes closed. Frame is almost all skin and fingers. | ENT Doctor's Secret Move to Open Blocked Sinuses FAST |
| 14.17s | Same vantage, same tightness. Thumb still on the nasal bridge, second hand's fingers spread down the cheek and jaw. Her ear and a black surface behind her head just in shot. | ENT Doctor's Secret Move to Open Blocked Sinuses FAST |
| 23.62s | Fractionally wider. Thumb moves to the inner corner of her eye, far hand presses along the cheekbone under the other eye. A pale wall and a sliver of daylight appear behind the operator. | ENT Doctor's Secret Move to Open Blocked Sinuses FAST |
| 33.07s | Pulled back to the whole head and the room. One open hand comes over her forehead and eyes, the other pinches at the side of her nose. Operator's pale ripped trousers and a bright window wall at the top of frame; a red garment at her shoulder. | ENT Doctor's Secret Move to Open Blocked Sinuses FAST |
| 42.52s | **The hero frame.** Dead symmetric: both hands down from the top, index fingers pressed either side of the nose bridge, palms on cheeks and temples. Gold-and-steel watch on one wrist. White treatment table, black headrest, eyes closed. | ENT Doctor's Secret Move to Open Blocked Sinuses FAST |
| 51.97s | Widest of the six — her full face and shoulders, eyes now open and looking into the lens, calm. Both hands cupped at the sides of her head near her ears. Pale wood floor and the operator's shoes visible at the top. | ENT Doctor's Secret Move to Open Blocked Sinuses FAST |

**What carries the value**

The hand placement. Specific, symmetric, repeated fingertip pressure on a real person's nose bridge and cheekbones, handed over for free under a line that says a doctor knows it. There is no result to show — no before/after, no debris, no product — so the persuasion is entirely the technique being visible enough to copy, plus the authority the line borrows.

**Not shown in the frames — do not invent it:** the six stills never show the operator's face, so nothing confirms who they are or any credential; there is no product anywhere in the video; and six samples cannot prove whether the runtime is one unbroken take or several cuts from the same vantage. Everything else here is what is literally in the frames.

**Shoot it**

- **Camera:** one phone, vertical, held above and behind the reclined subject's head, looking down the length of their face — the operator's own eyeline. Stay at that one vantage for the whole video. Only the distance changes: tight on the contact point for the middle, pulled back to the whole face for the open-out at the end. Never cut to a second location, never show the operator's face, never turn the camera on anyone.
- **Light:** ordinary daylight from a window to one side. Warm, soft, no lamps, no colour grade. The bright wall in the background of the wide beat is just the window.
- **Set:** a padded table with a black headrest, a white towel under the shoulders, a plain wood floor. Nothing styled.
- **Wardrobe:** the operator is trousers and forearms — plain, whatever they'd actually wear to work; a watch is fine and reads as real. The subject wears their own clothes, hair down and spread out, no makeup styling.
- **Performance:** none, from anyone. The subject lies still with eyes closed and opens them at the end. No speech, no reaction acting. You need a second person to lie down, but you do not need a creator, a personality or anyone who can act.
- **Text:** set the line once, in a white rounded box just below centre, and never touch it again. It has to be a promise a stranger would want kept.

**Or generate it**

The hero beat (42.52s) — the symmetric two-hand press:

```
vertical 9:16 photograph shot from directly above and behind the head of {SUBJECT}, who lies face-up on a padded treatment table with a black headrest, long dark hair spread across a white towel at the shoulders, eyes closed, face relaxed and unstyled; an operator standing at the head of the table reaches down into the top of frame — bare adult hands and forearms only, never a face, holding {PRODUCT} — index fingers pressed symmetrically either side of the bridge of the nose with the palms resting on the cheeks and temples; the operator's plain trousers and a pale wooden floor visible along the top edge, soft daylight from a window off to one side, warm skin tones, phone-camera look, slight grain, no retouching, no on-screen text
```

**Motion:** handheld from the operator's own vantage above the subject's head, holding that single angle and drifting slowly closer as the fingers press — no cut away, no second angle, nothing moves in frame but the hands.

**Text overlay:** `{AUTHORITY}'s Secret {THING} to {OUTCOME} FAST` — one white rounded box, black bold sans, wrapping to three centred lines, sitting just below the middle of frame; word-for-word identical and in the identical position at every beat from first frame to last.
