The edit revolves around a clean, easy-to-understand depiction of the product, without the excessive need to explain every single intricacy.

Due to the medical nature of the industry, as well as the very clean and sleek design Novak M is known for, the location for the video always includes very spacious, bright environments that make the subtle grays of the product stand out.

While the video has a voice over track to go with, the simple on-brand graphics help illustrate key product features for mobile players, which often do not start playing sound unless specifically activated. The cherry on top is the footage full of carefully planned compositions and plenty of white space to let the viewers eye rest on the right parts of the shot.
