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.

Parent here is prickly yet unfortunately correct (sorry OP!) but the reason why is interesting.
As I watch this, I realized that, inconsistencies notwithstanding, I would have been floored by this result in 2021, even 2022. But we've all been ingesting slop now for long enough to recognise that unique metallic aftertaste immediately. The minute I do, I immediately lose traction with the piece, as if intellectual antibodies have begun to attack.
The result, comms-wise, is worse than failure -- not only do I not receive the information (or affect) that the piece is trying to convey, but I find myself ill-disposed toward it.
I'm reminded of the starships in Douglas Adams oeuvre that were said to have long ago used bad news to power near-instantaneous spaceflight (because bad news is the only thing to travel faster than light, get it?) only to discover that there was no point in going anywhere, as it became the practice to shoot such vessels on sight; no one wants bad news.
Similarly, if I get your pitch via slop-powered craft, I'm going to dismiss it with prejudice.
