A medium close-up shot features a bald man with a dark beard, wearing a grey and white plaid shirt. He is seated at a dark desk, facing the camera and speaking directly to the viewer. His left hand is raised slightly, gesturing as he communicates. In the background, to his left, there's a lamp with a white cylindrical shade adorned with abstract grey patterns, and a stack of books. To his right, a dark shelf unit holds more books and a prominent golden letter 'G' decoration. The lighting is soft and even, indicating indoor artificial light. The overall color palette is muted with greys, whites, and dark wood tones, creating a calm, conversational atmosphere. White text overlays the bottom of the screen, initially reading 'I asked my wife' and then transitioning to 'for a $500 bottle of whiskey for the holidays'.
0:03man demonstrates ice mold
The scene maintains a medium close-up shot of the same bald man, who continues to address the camera. He holds up a black, wedge-shaped silicone ice mold, first presenting it flat towards the camera with his right hand, then rotating it to clearly display its angled, open top with his left hand assisting. He brings the object closer to the camera to highlight its intricate design, specifically showing the interior compartments intended to form the ice wedge. He frequently gestures with his left hand as he explains the product's features. The background elements, including the lamp, books, and shelf, remain consistent from the previous shot. The lighting is soft and frontal, illuminating his face and the object with clarity. White text overlays at the bottom, reading 'She bought me this instead', then 'And honestly?', and finally 'Maybe the best gift I've ever gotten'. The scene strongly emphasizes the product's innovative design and the man's genuine positive reaction to it.
0:09hands placing mold in freezer
A close-up, overhead shot offers a clear view into a clean, white freezer compartment. A hand, presumably male due to its size and visible ring, is meticulously placing a clear glass containing the black wedge-shaped ice mold onto a clean, metallic wire shelf. The glass is positioned deliberately near the front of the shelf for easy access. In the background, on a lower shelf that is slightly out of focus, several small, clear plastic containers filled with a vibrant pink liquid are visible, possibly indicating jello shots or similar items. The lighting is bright and distinctly white, characteristic of a typical freezer interior, ensuring all details are well-lit. The focus is critically sharp on the hands and the glass, with the background maintaining a slight blur to emphasize the action.
0:10hands removing mold from glass
A close-up shot is tightly focused on a pair of hands. The hands are seen holding a clear, empty glass firmly on a dark, speckled countertop. The right hand deftly pulls the black wedge-shaped silicone ice mold out of the glass. As the mold is removed, it meticulously reveals a perfectly formed, clear ice wedge that now stands within the glass. The ice has a distinctive, slightly textured and frosted appearance, indicating its solid, frozen state. The background behind the countertop is a blurred, light-colored wall or cabinet, subtly hinting at a kitchen environment without distracting from the main action. The lighting is bright and even, serving to perfectly highlight the intricate details of the ice and the precise movements of the hands. The overall action is precise and clearly demonstrates the effortless removal of the mold, leaving behind a perfectly shaped ice wedge.
0:12man shows ice wedge
A medium close-up shot captures the bald man as he proudly holds up the clear glass, which now prominently features the large, perfectly formed ice wedge. He displays it directly to the camera, showcasing the innovative design and effectiveness of the product. The ice wedge itself is triangular, with a frosted, slightly opaque appearance, and fills a significant portion of the glass, giving it a substantial and elegant look. The man's face is sharply in focus, positioned slightly to the right of the frame, with the glass held centrally to draw attention. The background elements, including the lamp, books, and shelf, remain consistent from previous talking head shots, establishing a familiar indoor setting. The lighting is consistently applied, providing a clear and well-illuminated view of both the man and the glass. White text, stating 'creating this perfect wedge shape', overlays the bottom of the screen, further emphasizing the product's unique feature.
0:14man pours whiskey
The scene shifts to a medium close-up, focusing primarily on the man's hands as he pours whiskey into the glass already containing the ice wedge. His right hand carefully holds a small, clear glass bottle filled with an inviting amber liquid, presumably whiskey. He meticulously tilts the bottle to pour the liquid, ensuring it streams smoothly down the side of the large ice wedge within the glass. The glass is held steadily by his left hand, providing stability during the pour. Only the man's chest and the lower part of his chin are visible at the very top of the frame, strategically keeping his face mostly out of shot to emphasize the precise action of pouring. The background elements are intentionally blurred, maintaining a sharp focus on the hands and the rich, amber liquid filling the glass. The whiskey introduces a warm, appealing brown color to the overall visual palette of the scene.
0:15man demonstrates drinking
In a medium close-up shot, the bald man is seen holding the glass filled with whiskey and the distinctive ice wedge. He addresses the camera, articulating the benefits of using this specific ice format. He gestures subtly with his left hand, reinforcing his points and engaging the viewer. Following his explanation, he brings the glass deliberately to his lips, takes a slow, appreciative sip of the whiskey, and then reacts with a visibly satisfied expression. The large ice wedge is clearly visible within the glass, partially submerged in the rich amber whiskey, serving as a visual testament to its ability to chill the drink effectively without rapid dilution. The familiar background of his indoor office or den remains consistent. White text overlays at the bottom, stating 'it keeps whiskey cold but it melts so slowly you don't have to worry about watering it down', followed by 'And before you start commenting to me about whiskey stones, call me crazy but I don't like the taste of metal in my drinks.' This text adds to his personal endorsement.
0:21man final product showcase
The scene is a medium close-up shot of the bald man, where he delivers his concluding remarks and final endorsement. He holds both the black wedge-shaped silicone ice mold in his right hand and the glass of whiskey with the ice wedge in his left hand, presenting them together as a complete set. He gently rotates the ice mold to display its various angles and features, while the glass containing the drink remains steady. His facial expression is confident, enthusiastic, and highly persuasive, punctuated by a slight, engaging wink at one point, which reinforces his strong positive recommendation for the product. The familiar background elements of his office or den—the lamp, stacks of books, and the shelf adorned with the golden 'G'—are consistently visible. The lighting remains consistent throughout the scene, ensuring clear visibility. White text appears at the bottom, stating 'Say what you will but she spent under 50 bucks And got me something that I use all the time', followed by 'Not to mention, it gets a great reaction from my buddies', and concluding with a clear call to action: 'Seriously, go to Corkcicle.com and grab your Whiskey Wedge before they sell out.'
