Changing Paper
Example Reel
Concept:
Social media trends come and go, but transformation-based content always grabs attention. This concept plays into the high-consumption nature of short-form videos—it's visually engaging, versatile, and perfect for the spring refresh aesthetic. Whether it feels corporate, fun, or stylish, the simple act of changing a piece of paper adds a dynamic touch to your content.
How to Create This Video:
This reel requires a little prep work, but the execution is simple. Here’s how:
Choose Your Paper Format:
Print a document to match the example.
Handwrite your message for a personal, organic feel.
Use a flip-over effect to reveal the change.
Get creative—try tearing, flipping, or swapping the paper!
Select Your Setting:
Elevator Scene: Feels sleek and high-end, adding an element of luxury.
Real Estate Twist: Standing in front of a house, flipping a paper from “Listed” to “Sold” makes a simple, trend-worthy moment.
Decide on Your Message:
Showcase something you're excited to step into (new goals, achievements, big announcements).
Use humor by flipping the paper to laugh at yourself or a relatable situation.
This trend thrives on versatility, so make it your own!

Song Suggestion:
I recommend using the same sound that inspired this trend, but you can also choose any song that fits your vibe. The visual concept is what makes this a viral glow—so you have two choices:
Go for an algorithm boost by selecting a trending sound.
Add a personal touch by picking a song from your own library that connects with your brand.

Pepe the King Pawn
Meme Moment
Example Reel
Context: Use the Pepe the King Pawn meme paired with Like a Prayer (Choir Version) to create humorous, relatable content. The goal is to showcase moments of disbelief or unexpected situations in a real estate setting.
