0:00living room apron removal A medium shot frames an adult male standing in a contemporary living room, in the process of taking off a white apron. He is positioned centrally, with a grey fabric sofa adorned with colorful, patterned pillows (yellow, orange, blue) behind him. A black rectangular coffee table sits in front of the sofa, with a basketball casually placed underneath. On either side, simple side tables hold white lamps with cylindrical shades. A large window with blue frames and white horizontal blinds is visible in the background, allowing soft, diffused natural light into the bright, white-walled room. The scene is evenly lit, creating a clean and inviting atmosphere. A text overlay reads: "Lucky turned in his pizza apron...". The dominant colors are white, grey, red, and blue, creating a vibrant yet balanced palette.
0:01transition to barbershop entrance The scene begins with the man from the previous shot, now without the apron, walking out of frame to the right. The camera smoothly pans to the right, transitioning from the white-walled living room to a distinctly different setting: a barbershop. A sharp white wall acts as a partition between the two spaces. The barbershop is characterized by its vibrant blue walls, which dominate the frame, contrasting with white shelving units displaying various grooming products. A classic red, white, and blue barber pole with a swirling pattern is mounted prominently on the left wall. The floor is a light grey. The lighting remains bright and uniform, consistent with the previous scene. The text "Lucky turned in his pizza apron..." briefly persists before fading out. The shift in environment is stark, emphasizing the transition from one activity to another.
0:02handshake in barbershop This medium close-up shot focuses on an interaction between two adult males within the blue-walled barbershop. The barber, now dressed formally, stands over a client seated in a black barber chair. Their hands are clasped in a firm handshake, indicating a greeting or a moment of agreement. The client is draped in a black barber's cape, obscuring his lower attire. The background is a vibrant blue wall with white shelving units holding various barbering tools and products. A small black chalkboard with white handwritten text is visible, adding to the barbershop aesthetic. The lighting is bright and direct, highlighting the expressions and interaction between the men. A text overlay at the bottom of the screen reads: "to open Walmart's first black-owned barbershop." Both individuals display warm, welcoming smiles, conveying a sense of camaraderie and positive engagement. The primary colors are blue, purple, and yellow.
0:04barbershop and adjacent room split This wide, static shot employs a split-screen effect, dividing the frame vertically. The left side showcases the barbershop, with its signature vibrant blue walls and white shelving. The barber, still in his purple professional attire, is now standing behind the client in the barber chair, actively preparing to cut his hair with clippers. Empty waiting chairs are visible in the foreground. The right side of the screen reveals a separate, white-walled room, likely a storage or preparation area. This room contains a grey metal shelving unit well-stocked with various school supplies such as notebooks, binders, and other stationery. A circular wall clock hangs on the wall. The lighting is consistently bright and even across both environments. A text overlay at the bottom of the screen reads: "Now he helps his community live better." The contrasting blue of the barbershop against the neutral tones of the adjacent room visually represents the dual aspects of the narrative.
0:06school supply organization A wide, slowly panning shot captures a male figure in a brightly lit, white-walled room, engaged in organizing school supplies. The scene maintains a split-screen effect, with a sliver of the blue barbershop visible on the far left. The main focus is on the right side, where the man meticulously arranges colorful school supplies on a long grey table and fills various backpacks. Items like notebooks, pens, and binders are clearly visible. Behind him, three tall, narrow windows with blue frames allow in soft, even light. A grey metal shelving unit filled with more supplies stands in the background. As the camera pans gently to the right, more of the extensive collection of backpacks (blue, grey, black) and school items on the table becomes visible, along with a cork board on the far right wall. The text overlay "Now he helps his community live better." persists throughout the scene. The color palette is bright and varied due to the school supplies, set against a clean white and grey background.
0:10barbershop proud gesture This wide, static shot returns the focus to the barbershop, which is brightly illuminated and features signature blue walls and white shelving units. The barber, now wearing glasses and a more formal suit, is seated comfortably in the black barber chair, directly facing the camera. He extends both hands outwards with open palms, gesturing broadly, conveying a sense of pride, accomplishment, and welcoming. A smaller portion of the adjacent white-walled room with school supplies and a cork board is visible on the right, maintaining the split-screen visual, but the barbershop is the primary subject. The lighting is bright and uniform. A new text overlay appears at the bottom: "And it started with a side hustle.". The overall mood is confident and celebratory, emphasizing success and community impact through entrepreneurship.
The scene transitions to a full-screen, vibrant blue background. Centered horizontally on the screen is the Walmart logo, featuring the word "Walmart" in a clean, white sans-serif typeface, immediately followed by the distinctive yellow 'spark' symbol. Above the main logo, in a slightly smaller white sans-serif font, the text "Walmart celebrates Black History Month." is displayed. The screen is entirely composed of this bright blue color with white and yellow text/logo elements, creating a strong, clear brand message. The lighting is entirely digital and uniform, typical of a static graphic element at the end of a commercial.
