In the video, a person is seen cutting a piece of yellow and white checkered paper with a pair of scissors. The person's hands are visible, and they are holding the paper with one hand while cutting it with the other. The scissors appear to be standard-sized and are being used to make a straight cut along the edge of the paper. The background is not visible, and the focus is solely on the cutting action. The checkered pattern is consistent throughout the paper, and the color scheme is bright and cheerful.
