Prank Haircut — the trim that shoots upward.

The sample

What happens in the Prank Haircut sample.

For the first four frames, little changes. A young man with short dark hair sits in a street barber's chair, wrapped in a paisley-print cape. Behind him, an older barber with white hair and a light shirt combs and snips, with motorbikes, shop signs and people further back. In the fifth frame the hair suddenly swells into a round, bushy puff. The view then moves closer, and in the last three frames the hair stands straight up in a wide, spiky fan, dark at the roots and golden at the tips.

The customer's face barely moves. He keeps the same calm look, cape and seat, while only the hair changes. The street and the table of bottles behind him stay in place, though the tighter framing pushes the barber partly out of view. Someone seated, head fully visible, with open space above it is how the sample begins. A photo along those lines is the one to pick.
