Source-linked shot and technique analysis of a 31-second Tim Hortons spot; no media, frames or audio are hosted.
Source: https://archive.org/details/timhortons
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 0.0-1.8 s; desire 1.8-7.9 s; offering 7.9-15.5 s; offer 15.5-21.9 s; benefit 21.9-24.2 s; brand_reveal 24.2-26.9 s; end_card 26.9-30.7 s.
H01 timestamped observations:
0.12 s: Black start.
0.90 s: Aerial of a red-and-white ship in ice.
1.92 s: A sailor reading a letter in a bunk.
5.53 s: A crew member wraps a present near a silver tree.
8.00 s: Faces looking down at a box.
11.13 s: Gift wrap opened to reveal paper.
12.06 s: A can of 'Fine Grind Coffee' beside the wrapping.
15.67 s: Two mugs and a can on a counter.
18.70 s: A price '$19.95' appears over the mugs.
24.28 s: Sailor in a red patterned sweater drinks from a mug.
25.75 s: Another man drinks, with the tagline 'You've always got time for Tim Hortons'.
28.80 s: Two crew members together by the tree.
Cut evidence: ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 found 3 transitions (a detector count, not a visual verdict; soft transitions are largely invisible to it). File duration 30.697 s matches the annotated 30.697 s.
Reusable lesson: A small story at sea (a letter, a gift, a coffee) leads to a product-and-price beat at 18 s, and the tagline appears as a lower-third.
