Real vs Reel 📹 Placing your product under the container instead of inside it is a great way to get the ripples to reveal your product without any distortion. And it makes less of a mess…😉 What do you guys think of this trick? Let me know in the comments👇 #behindthescenes #skincare #productvideography #reelvsreal
