Why it worked
The video works by combining a behind-the-scenes look at a specialized skill (macro photography) with the satisfying reveal of incredibly detailed and beautiful results. The curiosity gap created by showing the ordinary subject first, then the extraordinary close-up, is highly engaging. The use of trending audio also boosts discoverability.
