In the video, a person is seen using a tool to scrape off a black substance from a surface. The tool is being moved back and forth, and with each pass, more of the black substance is removed. The surface appears to be made of metal, and the black substance seems to be some kind of coating or residue. The person is wearing gloves, indicating that the substance may be hazardous or messy. The background is not clearly visible, but it appears to be an outdoor setting.
