3.0s free animal video hooks.
Animal hooks work best when the movement is understandable without context: a sudden charge, a jump, a stare, or an unexpected interaction. Pair the clip with a subject that benefits from curiosity rather than a literal connection.
choose the clip
Prefer one clear animal action over a busy scene. The viewer should be able to identify the subject and the pending movement at phone size.
make the cut
Cut when the animal completes its main movement or when the interaction changes direction.
