0:00Xbox Logo Intro
The scene opens with a dark, almost black background. A three-dimensional, metallic dark grey Xbox sphere logo is positioned centrally in the frame. It appears slightly embossed or raised, with subtle highlights that suggest a metallic texture and soft, diffused lighting from an unseen source, creating gentle gradients across its surface. The overall tone is sleek and minimalist, emphasizing the brand's identity. The background is a deep, uniform black, making the logo stand out. No other elements, text, or graphics are present. The camera is static, focused squarely on the logo. The color palette is monochromatic, primarily blacks and dark greys, conveying a sense of sophistication and gravity.
0:01Retro Game TV Screen with Xbox Logo
The scene displays a medium shot of an older, somewhat fuzzy television screen, framed within its dark, slightly visible bezel. On the screen, a retro-style video game resembling Crash Bandicoot is playing. A cartoonish, anthropomorphic character, likely a bandicoot, is seen running on a dirt path through a vibrant, jungle-like environment with green foliage on either side. The graphics are pixelated, characteristic of older console games, and the colors are saturated but slightly muted by the screen's quality. A bold, white "XBOX GAME PASS" logo is centrally overlaid on the screen, along with the white Xbox sphere icon above it. In the bottom left corner, a black and white "EVERYONE 10+" ESRB rating is visible. The lighting is ambient, originating from the TV screen itself, creating a warm glow.
0:02Retro Game TV Screen Gameplay
This medium shot focuses on an older television screen displaying the same retro-style video game. The screen is slightly wider, revealing more of the environment. The main character, Crash Bandicoot, is still running on the dirt path through a lush, green jungle environment, now with more detail visible in the foliage and background textures. The pixelated graphics are clear, showcasing the vibrant but aged aesthetic of the game. The camera follows the character from behind, slightly elevated, as it navigates the path. The lighting is entirely from the screen, providing a slightly saturated and low-resolution feel. No text overlays are present in this specific segment, just pure gameplay.
0:03Retro Live-Action Romance TV Screen
The shot captures a medium close-up of an old television screen, showing a live-action scene from what appears to be a retro or B-movie. In the center, a Caucasian man with short brown hair and a green sleeveless shirt has his arm around a Caucasian woman with blonde hair, who is wearing a strapless magenta or fuchsia dress and a pearl necklace. The woman is gently touching the man's face. Both appear to be looking at each other or slightly off-camera with soft expressions. The background is a blurry indoor setting with some ornate furniture, possibly an old cabinet or bookshelf. The image quality is low, characteristic of VHS or old TV broadcasts, with horizontal lines and a slight warm tint. The "EVERYONE 10+" ESRB rating remains visible in the bottom left corner.
0:04Retro Live-Action Snarling Man TV Screen
This is a tight close-up shot of an older television screen, focusing intently on the face of a Caucasian man. He has dark, slicked-back hair, possibly tied in a ponytail or braid at the back, which is mostly out of frame. His expression is aggressive and snarling, with his lips pulled back to reveal sharp, possibly prosthetic, teeth. His eyes are wide and intense, contributing to a menacing look. He wears dark clothing, possibly a jacket or robe, and a simple dark necklace with a central pendant. The background is bright white and out of focus, suggesting a studio setting or a strongly backlit scene. The video quality retains the low-resolution, slightly grainy aesthetic of older TV broadcasts. The "EVERYONE 10+" ESRB rating is still present in the bottom left corner.
0:05Retro Game TV Screen Boulder Chase
The scene is a medium shot of an old television screen, showing dynamic gameplay from the retro Crash Bandicoot game. The main character, the orange bandicoot, is seen running frantically away from a massive, grey, spherical boulder that is rolling down a brown dirt path directly behind it, rapidly gaining speed. The path is flanked by lush green jungle foliage. The perspective is from behind and slightly above the character, maintaining a sense of urgency and danger. The low-resolution graphics and vibrant, slightly desaturated colors are typical of older console games. The "EVERYONE 10+" ESRB rating is visible in the bottom left corner. The image quality is still characteristic of an older TV broadcast, with subtle screen artifacts.
0:06THAT WAS THEN Title Card
The scene presents a title card with the text "THAT WAS THEN" in a large, elegant, and metallic gold font. The letters are three-dimensional, reflecting subtle highlights that suggest a polished metal surface under a soft, directional light source, giving them depth and a luxurious feel. The background is a solid, deep black, providing a stark contrast that makes the gold text stand out prominently. The text is centered horizontally and vertically in the frame. No other elements or graphics are present. The overall color palette is limited to black and gold, conveying a sense of classic elegance and transition.
0:07Girl Playing on Laptop with Headphones
A young Caucasian woman with medium-length brown hair, wearing a loose-fitting light brown or peach-colored knitted sweater and jeans, sits cross-legged on a carpeted floor. She is fully immersed in playing a video game on a laptop positioned in front of her. She wears white over-ear headphones, covering her ears, and holds a dark-colored game controller with both hands, her thumbs on the joysticks. Her expression is focused and slightly intense, indicating concentration. The background is dimly lit, showing a living room setting with a blurry couch where another person is vaguely visible in the distance, partially obscured. The text "NOW, PLAY YOUR WAY ON YOUR FAVORITE DEVICES" in white capital letters is overlaid prominently in the center of the screen. At the bottom, a smaller white text overlay provides legal disclaimers. The lighting is soft and warm, coming from the front, illuminating her face and the laptop screen.
0:09Laptop Screen Gameplay with Text Overlay
The scene offers a close-up, slightly Dutch-angled shot of a modern laptop screen. The screen displays vibrant video game footage of Crash Bandicoot, similar to the retro clips but with significantly improved graphics, showcasing higher resolution textures and more detailed environments. The character is running on a brown dirt path through a lush, green jungle with detailed foliage and environmental elements. The text "NOW, PLAY YOUR WAY ON YOUR FAVORITE DEVICES" in white capital letters is overlaid across the middle of the screen. The laptop's dark bezel is visible, emphasizing that the game is being played on a portable device. The lighting emanates from the screen, making the colors pop against the dark bezel. The background outside the laptop screen is out of focus, revealing hints of an indoor setting.
0:10Laptop Screen Crash Bandicoot Falling
This is another close-up, slightly Dutch-angled shot of a laptop screen, continuing to show modern video game footage of Crash Bandicoot. In this moment, Crash is seen falling or tumbling through the air, having seemingly been hit or missed a jump. He is mid-air against a backdrop of a colorful, cartoonish environment, likely part of the jungle level. The graphics are sharp and detailed, with rich colors. The text "NOW, PLAY YOUR WAY ON YOUR FAVORITE DEVICES" in white capital letters remains overlaid across the screen. The laptop's dark bezel frames the game action. The lighting from the screen vividly illuminates the game, highlighting the enhanced visual fidelity. The background outside the screen is blurred.
0:11Xbox Game Pass Montage and Slogan
The scene features a dynamic grid-like montage against a solid black background. Various video game screenshots and short clips are displayed in rectangular frames of different sizes, arranged in a visually engaging pattern. These include scenes from card games (showing playing cards), racing games (a sleek red sports car), platformers (Crash Bandicoot running), and possibly other genres, demonstrating the variety of Xbox Game Pass offerings. The central focus is the text overlay: "THIS IS HOW WE PLAY NOW" in large, bold, bright green capital letters, with each word residing within its own separate bright green rectangular block. Below this, the white Xbox sphere logo and "XBOX GAME PASS" text are displayed. The overall aesthetic is modern, vibrant, and energetic, using a dominant black and bright green color scheme.
0:13Xbox Logo Outro
The scene returns to a minimalist, dark background, identical to the opening shot. A three-dimensional, metallic Xbox sphere logo is positioned centrally. This time, instead of being dark grey, the 'X' cutout within the sphere glows with a soft, ethereal white light that pulsates gently. Below the sphere, the word "XBOX" is displayed in crisp white capital letters. The soft glow from the logo illuminates its metallic surface, creating subtle reflections and gradients, and casts a faint halo effect around the 'X'. The background remains a uniform, deep black, making the illuminated logo the sole focal point. The color palette is primarily black and white/grey, with the white glow conveying a sense of energy and modernity.
