The moment
Your video has the spin and the face in the lens
The shoulder carry moment is the spin: one person stands there with the other across their shoulders, turns on the spot, and suddenly the carried one is right in the camera singing "I'm the one".
Your shoulder carry video keeps both faces and both outfits from your photos through all 9 seconds, filmed from a phone set low: the carry, the spin and the close-up with the pointing hand and the grin, with the sound on it.
- Across both shoulders
- The spin
- Right into the lens
- "I'm the one"
