Chick-fil-A (2014 broadcast, 30 s): a cow rides an elevator with two office workers
Source-linked shot and technique analysis of a 30-second Chick-fil-A spot; no media, frames or audio are hosted.
Source: https://archive.org/details/chick-fil-a-tv-spot-breakfast-i-spot.tv
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 0.0-5.8 s; problem 5.8-13.1 s; problem 13.1-20.4 s; brand_reveal 20.4-25.0 s; offering 25.0-27.1 s; cta 27.1-30.1 s.
H01 timestamped observations:
0.12 s: Two office workers with a drink and a bag in a lobby.
2.79 s: A hand with a cup presses an elevator button.
3.84 s: Two men stand in an elevator with food bags.
5.93 s: A cow stands in the elevator.
8.96 s: Close-up of the cow.
14.30 s: One man's reaction, deadpan.
18.22 s: The cow noses the button panel.
20.52 s: A hand-lettered sign on the elevator wall reading BURGERZ SLOW U DOWN, EAT MOR CHIKIN.
23.78 s: Logo card.
25.14 s: Breakfast sandwiches on a plate.
27.22 s: A juice bottle beside the sandwiches.
Cut evidence: ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 found 16 transitions (a detector count, not a visual verdict; soft transitions are largely invisible to it). File duration 30.063 s matches the annotated 30.063 s.
Reusable lesson: A brand's mascot (the cow) plays a gag in a confined set, and the intentionally misspelled sign delivers the slogan before a clean product-and-logo close.
