Damn you got scammed out of 60 bucks, the end result looks awful.

Check out https://www.youtube.com/@noisygroup JOEY on YouTube to see how it should be done. Their work still fails a lot of sense checks but it's orders of magnitude better than the slop your $60 got you.

Your attempt is full of visual inconsistencies like the architect's drawn line behaving like taut string as it's drawn (and being a pointless shape over the blueprint). The safe handle wheel turning by itself whilst the guy smiles idiotically at the camera like a 70s comedy show. The reviewer reviewing absolutely nothing on multiple screens at the same time. The orchestrator doing pretty much the same thing but with DNA helixes?!?

The overall message and feeling derived from the video is - sloppy, cheap, shallow, as if produced by a company promoting a product that will be all those things.

People are going to generate some pretty effective media from this tech eventually but there's a sliding scale from free slop to million dollar ad equivalents. And yours is closer to the free slop end of the scale, closer than your $60 budget would even suggest.
