0:00glassblowing shaping eyeball
The scene opens with an extreme close-up of a glassblowing process. A worker, whose torso is partially visible in a light-colored, possibly white or cream, t-shirt with abstract colorful patterns (red, orange, green, blue), is manipulating a molten glass piece. The glass piece is attached to a metal rod, forming a bulbous shape. One end of the glass is intensely hot, glowing a bright orange-red, while the other end is cooling to an opaque white, with a clear section revealing small red flecks and bubbles within. A dark gloved hand is faintly visible in the lower left, operating some equipment. The background is dark and out of focus, suggesting a workshop environment. The dominant colors are the vibrant orange-red of the molten glass, the translucent white and red of the cooling glass, and the subtle, colorful patterns of the worker's shirt. White text overlays the bottom of the screen: "Cricket Wireless commissioned a transparent bag from me".
0:03glassblower at furnace
A medium shot captures a male glassblower standing in front of a brick furnace, which has an opening emitting a bright orange glow. He is wearing a dark olive-green short-sleeved t-shirt, light blue-grey jeans, and dark athletic shoes with white soles. He wears glasses and has short, dark, wavy hair. He holds a long, thin metal rod with a blob of glowing orange glass at its end, extending it into the furnace opening. The furnace area features industrial-style metal grating and brickwork, indicative of a workshop. The floor is concrete. The overall lighting is warm, dominated by the fiery glow of the furnace. Text overlays the bottom of the screen: "because they wanted to promote their transparent pricing."
0:06low angle glassblower shaping
This is a low-angle shot looking up at the glassblower from below. The ceiling, with its exposed industrial beams and bright fluorescent lighting, is visible at the top of the frame. The glassblower, wearing a dark olive-green t-shirt and blue-grey jeans, is holding a glowing piece of glass with a metal rod and applying a tool to it, creating sparks and white smoke. The intense red-orange light from the hot glass illuminates his face and upper body from below, creating dramatic shadows and highlights. The background is a mix of metal structures and general workshop clutter, slightly out of focus. The action is dynamic, with visible effort from the worker. Text overlays the bottom: "They said that they don't have any hidden fees or anything, and that they were promoting transparency."
0:09torching eyeball into purple glass
A close-up shot shows the male glassblower, wearing an olive-green t-shirt and blue-grey jeans, bending over a large, round piece of deep purple-red glass. He wears a yellow glove on his left hand and is holding a small torch with his right hand, directing a bright blue flame onto the glass. The heat from the torch creates a strong orange-red glow on the surface of the glass where the flame makes contact. Inside the purple glass, a separate, translucent white glass 'eyeball' with black flecks and delicate red veins is visibly fused. The workshop floor and various tools are visible in the background, out of focus. Text at the bottom reads: "I've been doing them with these eyeballs inside. Which see, they can see through all the hidden fees, and all the lies."
0:15extreme close up red veins
An extreme close-up focuses on a section of the translucent white glass 'eyeball' component. Fine, thin, red vein-like lines are intricately embedded within the white glass, giving it a realistic, organic appearance. The glass is attached to a metal rod, which is out of focus in the background, resting on a textured metal surface. The lighting is bright and even, highlighting the delicate details of the veins. The background is industrial, with metal textures. Text at the bottom states: "First, I make these tiny little red veins."
0:18adding glass blob to tip
A close-up shot shows a worker (only hands and tools visible) adding a small, glowing red-orange blob of molten glass to the very tip of the white glass 'eyeball' component, which still has the red veins. The white glass is resting on a textured metal surface. The worker uses metal pincers to precisely place the molten glass from a separate red-hot glass rod. The lighting highlights the fiery red glow of the newly added glass. The background is a metallic surface with a grid pattern. Text at the bottom reads: "Then I add a blob of glass on the very, very tip."
0:22adding pupil and capping
An extreme close-up focuses on the tip of the white glass 'eyeball' component. A small, dark black pupil is being carefully added to the center of the molten red-orange tip using a separate tool. Immediately after, a clear blob of glass is applied over the entire tip, encapsulating the pupil and sealing it into the 'eyeball' structure. The newly applied glass is glowing red-orange due to its heat. The background is a blurred industrial setting with a prominent textured metal surface. Text at the bottom says: "I'll add a pupil and cap the whole thing with a clear bit."
0:27green glass overlay
A medium close-up shot displays a glowing red-orange glass piece, shaped like a small bell or bubble, attached to a long metal rod. This piece is gently rotated on a smooth, grey metallic surface. A thin layer of green glass is being applied over the red-orange base, creating a transparent green outer layer with the fiery red-orange glow visible beneath. The reflection of the hot glass is clear on the metallic surface. The background is a clean, minimalistic grey workbench. Text overlays the bottom: "Then I'll take some green glass and overlay it over a clear bubble."
0:31gathering and pouring glass
The male glassblower is back in a medium shot, standing in front of the brick furnace. He takes a long metal rod, inserts it into the glowing furnace opening to gather a blob of molten, clear-glowing glass. He then quickly removes it and, with a controlled motion, tilts the rod downwards, pouring the excess molten glass into a dark metal bucket on the concrete floor. His movements are practiced and efficient. The furnace continues to emit a strong orange glow. Text at the bottom states: "I'll take a gather of clear glass over that and dump it into a bucket just so I get the right amount."
0:36low angle blowing glass bag
Similar to a previous shot, this low-angle perspective looks up at the glassblower as he works. He is holding a large, glowing red-pink glass piece on a rod, bringing it close to his mouth to blow air into it. As he blows, a burst of white steam or smoke erupts from the glass, indicating the expansion and cooling process. The ceiling, with its industrial beams and bright lights, is clearly visible above. The red-pink glow from the glass illuminates him. Text at the bottom reads: "I squish that bubble and blow it up into a bag."
0:40heating and inserting eyeball
A medium shot transitions into a close-up of the glassblower working on the large, purple-red glass 'bag'. He holds a small torch with a blue flame, heating a specific spot on the 'bag' that is already glowing orange-red. He then carefully uses a pair of tongs to pick up the pre-made clear 'eyeball' with its black pupil and red veins, and slowly, precisely inserts it into the heated, softened spot on the purple-red glass. The 'eyeball' glows brightly as it makes contact with the hot 'bag'. The concrete workshop floor and various tools are visible, along with parts of metal equipment. The overall lighting is warm, with significant red and orange tones from the hot glass and torch. Text overlays the bottom: "Then I heat up just the front of the eyeball. I almost dropped it there. And very, very carefully stick it in the eye hole."
0:51shaping eyeball socket
An extreme close-up focuses on the purple-red glass 'bag' where the 'eyeball' has just been inserted. The glassblower's hand, wearing a yellow glove, is visible as he uses a wooden-handled tool, resembling a melon baller, to press and shape the glass around the inserted 'eyeball'. The tool helps to create a defined socket and seamlessly merge the 'eyeball' with the 'bag'. The glass remains hot, with a deep red hue and glossy surface. The background is dark and out of focus. Text overlays the bottom: "I pressed in there really hard with the melon baller."
0:55finished green glass bag reveal
The final scene showcases the completed glass 'bag' on a clean, reflective white surface. The bag is a vibrant, translucent emerald green, with a fluid, organic shape and a large, circular handle at the top. The glass 'eyeball' with its black pupil and red veins is clearly visible on one side of the bag, providing the 'transparent' element. The bag slowly rotates, allowing the viewer to appreciate its full form and the play of light on its glossy surface. The background is a clean, bright white, emphasizing the product. Text at the bottom states: "And here's the bag."
