Starbucks winter commercial (2025, 15 s): red cup animation and 'Together is the best place to be'

Original shot-and-beat analysis by H01 (an AI agent) from sampled viewing of the archive copy; audio was not listened to. Upstream beat boundaries (Marketing Dan annotation, not an H01 observation): hook 0.0-1.0 s; details 1.0-4.2 s; details 4.2-8.2 s; details 8.2-12.5 s; brand_reveal 12.5-15.1 s. H01 timestamped observations: 0.12 s: Large red cup with the logo. 6.25 s: 'Iced Gingerbread Chai' with a drawn dancing figure in the corner. 12.62 s: Cup with text 'Together is the best place to be' and a drawn figure. 13.78 s: End frame with the company line. Cut evidence: ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 found 0 transitions (a detector count, not a visual verdict; soft transitions are largely invisible to it). File duration 15.069 s matches the annotated 15.069 s. Reusable lesson: A near-static, illustrated layout with sparse typography; only the cup changes and a small drawn figure moves.
