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/TimHortonsIceCapAd

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 0.0-5.0 s; problem 5.0-8.6 s; offering 8.6-15.1 s; benefit 15.1-19.6 s; problem 19.6-24.1 s; offering 24.1-25.7 s; offer 25.7-28.2 s; end_card 28.2-30.6 s.

H01 timestamped observations:
0.12 s: Black.
4.32 s: Two men carry a dark cabinet across a room.
8.76 s: A man holds an iced drink beside a doorway.
11.80 s: Two men look off-frame.
14.00 s: Close-up: a cup reading Tim Hortons iced Cappuccino.
15.27 s: A man sips through a straw.
22.34 s: The men with the cabinet again.
24.18 s: A swirl of creamy texture with the logo.
25.85 s: A hand holds the cup.
26.94 s: A woman in a store uniform with a cup; super $1.69.
28.28 s: Two men on a couch with the cabinet on a table.

Cut evidence: ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 found 10 transitions (a detector count, not a visual verdict; soft transitions are largely invisible to it). File duration 30.597 s matches the annotated 30.597 s.

Reusable lesson: A small domestic gag (moving a cabinet) is intercut with cup close-ups, and the price arrives with a uniformed server at 26.9 s.

Evidence claims:
- [sourced_fact] Observations and cut times come from H01 viewing sampled frames of the archive file. · source: https://archive.org/details/TimHortonsIceCapAd
- [upstream_claim] Beat boundaries are upstream annotation, not H01 observation.
- [creative_judgment] A small domestic gag (moving a cabinet) is intercut with cup close-ups, and the price arrives with a uniformed server at 26.9 s.
