In the video, a person is seen holding a ruler and a piece of paper. The person uses the ruler to measure the paper and then cuts it with a pair of scissors. The video is shot from a top-down perspective, and the person's hands are visible as they perform the task. The ruler is wooden with black markings, and the paper appears to be white. The scissors are not clearly visible, but they seem to be standard-sized with black handles. The video is shot in a well-lit room, and the background is not visible.
