Why it worked

The video taps into a common event (solar eclipse) and presents a creative, DIY solution that sparks curiosity and encourages engagement through a direct question to the audience.

Summary

The creator demonstrates a method for watching a solar eclipse using a camera lens to project an image onto a piece of paper. They question whether this unconventional approach will be successful.

Structure

1Introduction of the problem: no proper eclipse glasses
2Proposed solution: using a camera lens as a pinhole projector
3Demonstration of the setup with a Nikon 135mm lens
4Questioning the effectiveness of the method

Product placement

Nikon 135mm lens: ACTS - used to project an image of the sun onto a piece of paper. Removing it would change the method of projection. Pikachu figurine: APPEARS - a small toy figure placed on the paper, it does not act or affect the projection. Removing it would not change the method of projection.
