Selfie-stick tracking shot. The subject from the reference photo stands in a brightly lit retro room, holding the camera selfie-style while standing next to a tall, vintage glass gumball machine. 0-2s she winks at the lens, inserts an invisible coin, and confidently twists the machine's dial. 2-6s a loud crack is heard as the glass shatters, and an impossible, endless avalanche of vibrant, colorful gumballs erupts from the machine, rapidly flooding the room up to her knees. 6-8s she hilariously loses her balance, wading through the rising sea of candy, panning the camera to show the chaotic mess with a panicked laugh. 8-10s she reaches down, scoops up a massive glowing gumball, holds it proudly to the camera, and mimes taking a giant bite. Upbeat trending pop track with crashing glass and spilling candy sound effects. Face, hair, and outfit remain unchanged.
