# Freeze-frame drawn lines on the body

A sports and outdoors format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/sports-and-outdoors/freeze-frame-drawn-lines-on-the-body

Draw lines or arrows directly over the athlete's body, often on a freeze-frame or split-screen, to show the exact angle of a mistake versus the correct form. It worked for 4 accounts, with a median of 4x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Voiceover, Talking head.

## Why it works

Viewers see the mechanical difference instead of hearing it described. Right/wrong pairs and slow-mo replays make a technique tip clear in seconds.

## How to make it

1. Show the real action first, or a right-vs-wrong split screen
2. Freeze or slow the frame at the key moment
3. Draw red and green lines or an arrow on the body part
4. Label the pair with ❌ and ✅

## Hook formula

Stop [specific body mistake] before you [action], here's the angle that matters

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
