facts first presents mind-blowing tricks
advertisers use to manipulate photos
creating steam when advertisers need to
take a photo of a hot food product they
need to create steam they do this by
heating up wet cotton balls in the
microwave cotton balls can hold steam
for quite a few minutes the cotton balls
can be hidden behind the food so that
the steam can be seen in the shot
because the steam can last for so long
in the cotton balls the photographer
will have more than enough time to get
all the shots they need photos of ice
cream when advertisers need to
photograph ice cream they don't use
actual ice cream the hot lights in the
studio would cause the ice cream to melt
too quickly and there wouldn't be time
to get all the shots that they need
instead advertisers use mashed potatoes
and food coloring
this gives the photographer more than
enough time to get all the necessary
shots the mashed potatoes ice cream
creating milk for cereal ads when
advertising agencies take shots for
cereal products they want the cereal to
float on top of the milk if they were to
use regular milk this wouldn't be
possible cereal often sinks to the
bottom of the bowl especially larger
pieces of cereal
to keep the cereal at the top
advertisers don't use milk they use
Elmer's glue they pour it on top of the
milk and then a bit more on top of the
cereal the glue will keep the cereal
from sinking boy talk about a breakfast
that'll stick to your ribs photographing
insects insects can be difficult to
photograph because they move so quickly
when an advertiser needs to take a photo
of insects they put them in the
refrigerator first when they're cold
they slow down quite a bit it's the
perfect time for the photographer hired
by the advertising agency to get the
perfect shot bubbles in drinks if the
photographer is taking a photo of a
beverage that needs to have bubbles on
the top such as a freshly poured glass
of milk coffee or other bubbly drinks
they
and dish soap to the drink this will
keep the beverage bubbling long enough
to get every shot that they need plus
hey you're cleaning the dishes as you
drink boot polish to add a grilled
appearance to food if you've ever seen a
commercial for any fast-food restaurant
you've seen the deep dark grill marks on
the burger the advertiser didn't grill
the beef to make it look that way they
actually use boot polish to make the
charred lines while the Polish may not
make the food taste any better it sure
makes it look better ice cubes
when an advertiser is going to be
photographing an ice cold beverage
filled with ice cubes they can't really
use ice cubes they'll melt very quickly
under those hot lights so instead they
use plastic ice cubes
they won't melt and they still look
natural shaving cream instead of whipped
cream when advertisers need to
photograph a product containing whipped
cream
but use shaving cream instead whipped
cream can start to run quickly ruining
the shot also you can shape it's shaving
cream a lot easier than you can whipped
cream this will ensure that the
photographer gets the perfect shot every
time just be sure not to leave that
whipped cream dessert near the crafts
table where the actors might
accidentally bite into it then again do
if I'd be funny spray deodorant to shine
fruit when it comes to photographing
fruits you want them to be shiny since
it's difficult to shine fruit most
advertisers will use spray deodorant it
gives most types of fruit a nice shine
that makes a picture look great plus you
don't have to worry about that armpit
smell not that fruit has that glycerin
to make seafood look juicy when
advertisers are photographing seafood
they want it to look juicy
unfortunately seafood won't stay juicy
for very long in order for the
photographer to get the shot they need
they will mix glycerin and water to make
the seafood look fresh and juicy
pancakes and syrup this is one of the
most mind-blowing tricks advertisers
will use to manipulate their photos when
an advertiser is going to be taking a
photograph of pancakes with syrup on
them they don't want the syrup to soak
in
the pancakes well to keep this from
happening the photographer will spray
fabric protector over the pancakes first
so the syrup won't soak in too quickly
lacquer to make grains shiny if an
advertiser is taking photos of rice for
a campaign they want the rice to be
shiny also they don't want it to be
sticky when I get the perfect shot of
rice photographers will use lacquer to
make the rice look shiny and less sticky
antacid to create fizz
if an advertising agency is going to be
shooting an ad for a soft drink company
they want the soft drink to look fizzy
if it doesn't the Drake will appear flat
and unappealing to make sure that the
soft drink will look freshly poured and
fizzy they'll drop an antacid into the
soft drink this will keep it fizzing
shot after shock the best part is that
they can keep being added until all the
photos have been taken and for the actor
who keeps drinking that for the
photographer over and over and over
again he'll be glad to have that antacid
in his system he's gonna need it colored
wax for sauce if an advertisers
photographing of food that contains
sauce they want the sauce to look thick
to make the sauce look thick
photographers will melt down different
colored wax to create a thick looking
sauce liquid glucose to make noodles
look hot and fresh when advertisers are
photographing noodles they want them to
look hot and fresh after being under the
hot lights of a photography studio for
too long the noodles can dry out to keep
this from happening the advertisers will
spray liquid glucose over the noodles to
keep them looking fresh and hot
subscribe for more you know I was
actually gonna take lunch after
narrating this but suddenly I've lost my
appetite
