# Sticky-line maker demo — rebuild sheet

A 27.6s hands-only bathroom demo: one bold line lands at the top, then a tap attachment gets unwrapped, fitted, run, used on a face and swivelled — 894,957 views, 9,013 likes, caption just "Link in bio 👇".

**Why it works**
The line is spent in the first beat and never comes back, so nothing on screen argues with the footage — the rest of the runtime is pure evidence and the viewer has nothing to read, only something to check. Because it never cuts to a face and never explains itself, there is no moment where permission is asked to keep watching; the demo simply keeps going until the swivel shows you the thing a normal tap cannot do.

**The beats**

| Time | What happens | On-screen text |
|---|---|---|
| 2.21s | Waist-height handheld on a bathroom sink — chrome mixer tap, white basin, cluttered counter (a Stitch figurine, rubber ducks, a small plant). A hand enters from the right holding a small wrapped item over the tap: white twisted wrapper, red tip. The product is not legible yet. | Whoever Invented This Deserves Raise |
| 6.62s | Camera a step closer. The hand holds a chrome U-shaped attachment up beside the tap spout — the part shown at scale against the thing it fits. | — |
| 11.03s | Lower, tighter, straight on the tap. The attachment is fitted and standing tall; a straight column of water runs into the basin. | — |
| 15.44s | Closer and angled down over the counter. The hand turns the attachment and the stream swings across the basin at an angle. | — |
| 19.86s | Wider. A person with dark hair bends over the basin washing their face, hands to their cheeks, under the attachment swivelled out toward them. Face never turned to camera. | — |
| 24.27s | Back to the sink alone. A hand holds the attachment pulled out and rotated, water arcing away from the tap over the basin — the swivel is the last thing seen. | — |

Note on the text: it reads exactly as above across two lines. It appears to be missing an "a" before "Raise"; that is what is on screen, not a transcription slip.

What the frames do not show, and is not guessed at here: there is no audio evidence, so whether anyone speaks is unknown. No brand or label on the product is readable at any beat. The cut count between the six sampled stills is unknown — the sheet shows six moments, not six shots. The person at 19.86s is never identified and never faces the lens.

**What carries the value**
The swivel. Water reaching out and around to a place a fixed tap cannot point — proved by someone actually washing their face under it, not claimed in words. Everything before that beat exists to make the swivel legible.

**Shoot it**
Phone, vertical, handheld at sink height — roughly where your own eyes are when you stand at the basin. No tripod; the small natural drift is part of the look. Move the camera between beats (wider, then closer, then down over the counter, then wide again for the use beat) but never move it inside a beat and never cut to a face. Plain overhead bathroom light, nothing added — the original has flat even indoor light with no fill and no colour work. Wardrobe is a non-issue: you only ever see forearms and one bent head, so plain sleeves rolled up is the whole rule. Leave the counter as it actually is — the ornaments and plastic toys are what make it read as a real bathroom rather than a set. Shoot the whole thing in one location; there is no second room anywhere in this video.

and rotated outward so the stream reaches them, cluttered counter behind —
small ornaments, a plant, plastic toys — plain even indoor light, phone-camera

Motion: handheld at sink height, small natural drift, no zoom and no cut — the camera just holds while the water and the hands do the moving.

Text overlay: one line only, on the opening beat and never again — `Whoever Invented {THING} Deserves Raise` — bold dark serif, top-left, wrapping to a second line, dropped for the rest of the runtime.
