Based on intuition, one can think that this is a video that plays In reverse, but this is not the case. When energy is added to the system shaking the bucket, nails begin to act like a liquid, filling the natural shape provided in their container. Since they don't receive enough energy to flee in all directions, frictional forces and weight decrease the energy of the system, bringing it to a lower power state and higher entropy, which is their arrangement within the container.
