How to recreate this for your brand?

​

Step 1: Start With a "Fake" Simple Setup

• Show yourself in front of a TV/green screen with your desired background

• Use obvious props or cheap alternatives

• Make it clear this looks like a budget version

• Label it "The Setup"

​

​

Step 2: Reveal the Elaborate Reality

• Cut to the actual professional/expensive version

• Same angle, same pose, but real location/equipment

• Label it "The Shot"

• The contrast should be dramatic

​

​

Step 3: Apply to Your Niche

• Fitness: Fake gym background vs actual high-end gym

• Food: Kitchen backdrop vs professional restaurant kitchen
