Three fingers on the stoop

0–3s

“Three apps that got me running again.”

Three fingers on the stoop. Vertical 9:16 UGC clip, 3 seconds, one continuous handheld take unless timecodes say cut.
References: @Image1 = creator reference; @Image2 = setting reference. Keep the person, wardrobe and room identical to the references.
0–2s: CU. Three fingers to lens.
2–3s: MS. Ties shoe on the step.
Vertical 9:16 two-shot sequence, close-up then medium. A 35-year-old Ethiopian-American man with dark brown skin, short twists and a neat short beard, wearing an orange long-sleeve running top, navy shorts over black tights and white earbuds, outside a brick apartment building at golden hour, front stoop and street trees behind him. Shot one: he holds three fingers up to the lens on the front stoop. Shot two: he ties a shoelace with one foot on the step, looking up at the camera. Quick cut between shots. Warm low golden-hour sun, natural skin texture, handheld, shot on iPhone, quick-cut UGC.
Dialogue (Returning runner, mid 30s): "Three apps that got me running again."
No subtitles. No on-screen text. No logos. Natural voice, no background music.

Why it works

The list format promises a quick payoff and keeps people watching to #3. The first two items are generic tools, never named competitors, so the comparison feels honest while the hero app gets the specific mechanism and the result.

Hook variants to A/B test

  • “I tried three apps to start running. One stuck.”
  • “Couldn't run a minute. Three apps later, here's what worked.”
  • “Ranking the apps that got me off the couch.”
