Bally Total Fitness $5 promo (1997-02-06 broadcast, 30 s): fragmented gym close-ups and a phone number

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 0.0-3.5 s; desire 3.5-8.4 s; brand_reveal 8.4-12.0 s; offer 12.0-13.9 s; terms 13.9-16.4 s; cta 16.4-18.1 s; desire 18.1-25.4 s; offer 25.4-27.1 s; cta 27.1-29.8 s. H01 timestamped observations: 1.24 s: Abstract blue shape. 3.00 s: Gym set with a crowd on a stage-like floor. 4.37 s: Woman on a treadmill from behind. 8.98 s: Close-up of legs and a machine. 10.27 s: Large red 'B' logo with the club name. 12.95 s: '$5 TO START' with small print. 15.88 s: Group exercise wide. 17.27 s: '1-800-FITNESS' over a body close-up. 27.16 s: Logo and '$5 TO START' over the gym set. 29.63 s: Woman's face in close-up with the phone number. Cut evidence: ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 found 11 transitions (a detector count, not a visual verdict; soft transitions are largely invisible to it). File duration 29.805 s matches the annotated 29.805 s. Reusable lesson: Cutting between body-part macros and the stage wide gives pace, while the offer and phone number are repeated as overlays.
