A glass and a half full production

Video Transcript

We open on purple recording studio wall.
A title appears: A Glass and a Half Full Production.
We start listening to the first sounds of 'Total Eclipse of the heart' by Bonnie Tyler.

The camera slowly pans down as we hear the keyboard's atmospheric intro. When we start listening to the first lyrics we spot a hairy thing in the edge of the frame. As the camera keeps panning, the mysterious figure gets revealed.

We realize that in front of us is a gorilla. It looks calmly to camera. Bonnie continues singing.

We are almost sure that he knows we are filming him, but his eyes look through and beyond the lens. Backing vocals, 'Turn around bright eyes.'

The camera gently zooms out revealing the Gorilla's surroundings. We see more of the studio. And we discover a series of metallic things around him.

We realize that the Gorilla is sitting in front of a massive drum kit. One of those Eighties big kits with loads of things to hit. Loads of tom-toms, hi-hats, and double bass drum, etc.

The Gorilla stretches his neck loosening up.

The Gorilla hits the drums with passion and vigour. Elegance meets power. He's phenomenal on the drums - feeling every beat. The camera leaves the ape and his drum kit in the studio.

The screen fades to purple. We see a Cadbury Dairy Milk bar of chocolate appear above the words 'A Glass and a half full of Joy'
