Show an assembly step without blocking the camera

Assembly instructions need the contact point visible when the action happens, not only after the host's hands move away.

A practical procedure

1. Choose one assembly step and identify the exact connection the viewer must see.

2. Rehearse hand placement from the audience angle, moving unused tools away from the contact point.

3. Pause before and after the connection and describe how to recognise the completed step.

Worked example: a fictional session

A fictional shelf organiser demonstration rotates the empty unit so the slot faces the camera, inserts one divider slowly, then shows the seated edge.

Check the limits

Follow the product's actual assembly instructions; camera convenience should not change the required method.
