Source-linked shot and technique analysis of a 15-second Meineke spot; no media, frames or audio are hosted.

Source: https://archive.org/details/meineke-1

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 0.0-2.1 s; desire 2.1-5.0 s; proof 5.0-8.6 s; benefit 8.6-12.3 s; end_card 12.3-14.9 s.

H01 timestamped observations:
0.12 s: Dark.
4.50 s: A restaurant table: two men and a woman, a waiter with a bottle.
9.13 s: A man in a suit in front of a shop with a sign.
10.66 s: The same man speaks to camera.
12.43 s: An inset of the man above the logo: meineke Discount Mufflers.

Cut evidence: ffmpeg scene detection at threshold 0.30 found 2 transitions (a detector count, not a visual verdict; soft transitions are largely invisible to it). File duration 14.912 s matches the annotated 14.912 s.

Reusable lesson: A comic restaurant opener sets up a spokesperson close, and the logo arrives as a lower-third inset.
