I realize that was because I was watching the composition more that the content. You might, however, consider using something like an animated scale or a bar graph to emphasize the results of your conclusion. You could even ask the audience to guess the answer, to draw in their attention, that way the answer becomes a reward.

You know, like going through the movements of what it takes to change a blade or what it’s like shaving with a dull razor. Then later I saw you showing someone in the bathroom shaving and thought that it might cause some redundancy. Maybe you could shoot that first scene in front of a green screen and then replace the background with a close-up video of a razorblade moving real slowly behind you while you are talking. But the curtain just doesn’t do it for me. Just my opinion, Tim I guess the first thing I thought was it would be nice to see you using a razor, while you are talking about how long it should last.
