Watching material processes unfold with digital perfection is a new, much-loved trend on social media. Across political divides, everyone is mesmerized by perfection.

Most processes that we interact with are concealed behind a screen, so we’re more hooked than ever by video that shows physical processes unfold — and they’re refreshingly apolitical. Humans love to watch amazing things at peak performance: beautiful machines working flawlessly, a process unfolding perfectly, a touchdown executed with great skill. It’s hard to come up with an umbrella term for videos that capture these wins. These videos appear under different labels: soothing, flawless, win, watch this [machine or person] do [their job] perfectly.

This is a smaller, content-theme sized trend, but it’s a powerful one.

Brands can easily capture high engagement with video content showing off the physical processes they do smoothly, without a hitch. Video of any seamless physical processes are basically guaranteed to grab eyeballs. If your brand doesn’t have a lot of physical processes to capture, you can create one — like OK GO’s Rube Goldberg-esque The One Moment music video. Budget seems irrelevant to this trend: low production value videos of dominoes falling in beautiful patterns have millions of views on YouTube.

This trend’s challenge for brands is in concept creation, not execution.
