Building The Most Mysterous Deep Hole Underground Swimming Pool

What to study

Curiosity Gap

  • A neat round hole drops through the middle of the pond like a plug pulled from the earth, and two men dive straight at it.
  • How deep does it go and where do they end up?
  • The image asks the question and refuses to answer.
How the packaging works
Title

The title promises a mysterious deep hole below the pool.

Thumbnail

The thumbnail shows two men diving at a neat round hole in the pond.

Remix this

If your build or method has one feature nobody has seen before, make that feature the centre of the frame and show someone committing to it. The mid-air moment adds the pull of what happens next.

Ask your own AI chat for titles and thumbnail ideas for your video, using the psychology behind this one.
