## Sample Approach

```
TITLE: "When you see someone making coffee with a complicated machine
when they have a kettle"

0-3s: SETUP
Stitch / duet of someone using elaborate $5000 espresso machine to
make plain black coffee.

3-10s: REACTION
Khaby-style creator watches. Confused expression. Brow furrowed.

10-20s: DEMONSTRATION
Walks to kitchen. Pulls out kettle. Boils water. Pours over instant
coffee in cup.

20-25s: GESTURE
Holds up the cup. Looks at camera. Hands out, palms up.
The "obviously" gesture.

25-30s: BEAT
Music sting (classical violin or similar that has become his signature).
Title overlay: "Some things are simple."
End.
```
