0:00sketching process
This scene displays a stop-motion animation of a hand-drawn sketch progressively forming on a light brown or beige paper surface. Initially, outlines of two large, interlocking gears and a heart shape are visible. As the scene unfolds, the camera subtly pans and zooms, following the artistic development of the sketch. More intricate details are added, eventually revealing the distinct head and upper body of a cartoon robot-like character, reminiscent of WX-78 from Don't Starve. This robot features large, circular eyes, a rectangular mouth, and visible rivet details on its head and neck, suggesting a mechanical, possibly steampunk, aesthetic. The lighting is soft and ambient, evenly illuminating the paper and lines without harsh shadows. The color palette is minimal, dominated by the warm, earthy tones of the paper and the darker sepia lines of the pencil or pen. The camera movement is fluid and controlled, almost mimicking an artist's gaze over their work.
0:03wx78 robot introduction
A 3D animated brown robot, identified as WX-78, is presented in a medium shot, standing centrally on an elevated, dimly lit wooden platform. The background is a stark, deep black, creating a dramatic, isolated effect enhanced by a powerful, warm yellow-orange spotlight shining directly down from above. This focused illumination highlights the robot and casts a soft, subtle shadow beneath it. The robot, appearing to be constructed from a worn, wood-like or metallic material, holds a smaller, mint-green, heart-shaped robot delicately in its right hand. The smaller robot exhibits visible mechanical gears through an opening in its chest, along with small red and blue wires extending from its sides, implying it's either under repair or being carefully examined. The focused lighting accentuates the texture and slight sheen of the larger robot, lending it an air of thoughtful contemplation or curiosity.

0:06wx78 robot close up
A medium close-up shot centers on the head and upper torso of the brown robot, WX-78. The robot's distinct features are highlighted: large, dark, circular eyes, a pronounced square-jawed and blocky head, which shows visible rivets and panel lines, implying its constructed nature. A small, white, heart-shaped robot, similar to the one seen earlier but now without visible internal mechanisms, is attached to the larger robot's chest, positioned just below its head. The primary lighting is a warm, directed spotlight from above, creating reflective highlights on the robot's metallic surfaces and contributing to a deep, dark, featureless background. The robot's overall expression appears neutral, almost contemplative, with a subtle tilt of its head, suggesting a moment of thought.
0:08wx78 robot eye close up
An extreme close-up shot focuses intensely on one of the large, dark, circular eyes of the brown robot, WX-78. The texture of the robot's light brown metallic or wooden head is clearly discernible, revealing subtle scratches and wear marks that add to its character. The eye itself is a deep, dark, almost black void, reflecting very little external light, which gives the robot an enigmatic and slightly vacant, yet captivating, appearance. The warm, directed spotlight from above creates subtle shadows and highlights on the contours of the robot's head, emphasizing its blocky, angular form. The background is blurred into a dark greenish-brown, indicating a shallow depth of field, drawing all attention to the robot's eye.
0:09dark hallway walk
This shot adopts a first-person perspective, as if moving through a profoundly dark, elongated hallway. A concentrated, narrow beam of warm, golden light illuminates only a direct path on the wooden floor ahead, starkly contrasting with the almost absolute darkness of the surrounding environment. The hallway walls are barely visible, showing faint hints of wooden panels or shelves on either side, subtly suggesting a study or library setting. The camera advances at a moderate, steady pace, causing the illuminated path to glide smoothly along the floor. The overwhelming darkness and the focused light beam create a mysterious and slightly unsettling atmosphere.
0:09fast dark hallway zoom
This scene captures a rapid, intense, and disorienting forward movement through the same dark hallway observed previously. The camera rushes forward at high speed, causing the narrow beam of warm, golden light on the wooden floor to blur and stretch into streaks. Due to the extreme speed and profound darkness, any discernible environmental details on the walls or shelves are completely obscured, leaving only the central, streaked illuminated path clearly visible. The swift motion and enveloping darkness create a powerful sense of urgency, momentum, or sudden, decisive movement.

A full-body silhouette of a character, Wickerbottom, is dramatically presented in a mostly dark, expansive room. The character is illuminated exclusively from behind by a large, square, warm yellow-orange light source, which casts a sharp, dark silhouette against its glow. The character, distinctly identifiable by her hair styled in a bun, holds an open book and appears to be intently reading or looking down at its pages. The floor beneath her is composed of dark wooden planks, catching some of the ambient light. The surrounding environment is minimalist, with only vague suggestions of shelves or furniture barely discernible within the deep shadows at the frame's periphery. The overall mood conveyed is one of academic focus, quiet contemplation, and intellectual solitude.

This scene provides a close-up shot focusing on Wickerbottom's feet and the lower portion of her attire. She is wearing very distinctive, white, chunky, pointed shoes that stand out against the darker tones. Her skirt is clearly visible, featuring a pattern of bold red and black horizontal stripes. The floor beneath her is made of light brown wooden planks, which are partially illuminated by a warm, diffused light source from above. The camera angle is low, directing all attention to her lower half. The background behind her is a dark, indeterminate brown, with a subtle golden hue where the light minimally catches it, maintaining a shallow depth of field.

A medium close-up shot frames Wickerbottom from the waist up, as she holds an open, vibrantly bright green book in her hands. Her facial features are now clearly discernible, revealing an older woman with a distinct, slightly stern or intensely focused expression, enhanced by her wearing glasses. Her hair is white or grey, neatly pulled back into a bun. She is dressed in a yellow shirt adorned with black checkered patterns, complemented by a vertically striped red and black skirt. The lighting provides a warm, soft glow that beautifully highlights her face and the book, creating a stark yet appealing contrast with the dark, blurred background. Her head is tilted slightly downwards, suggesting deep engrossment in her reading material.
0:13wickerbottom lecturing
This is a medium full shot of Wickerbottom, positioned standing on a dark wooden floor, still holding the open green book. Her posture has changed; she is no longer looking at the book but has her head raised, gazing directly forward, while actively gesturing with her free right hand as if passionately delivering a lecture or emphatically making a point. Her expression is highly animated and somewhat assertive, with her eyebrows noticeably furrowed, conveying intellectual intensity. She continues to wear her characteristic yellow checkered shirt, red and black striped skirt, and white pointed shoes. The lighting is a warm, directional spotlight from above, illuminating her form and casting dramatic shadows around her on the dark background, creating a theatrical and engaging atmosphere for her apparent speech.
0:15dont starve youtooz collaboration
A static wide shot showcases two distinct, stylized figurine characters: WX-78 the robot and Wickerbottom, positioned side-by-side on a circular, golden-lit platform. The background is a solid, deep black, effectively emphasizing the characters and product details. Prominently displayed above them, in white stylized text, are the logos 'Don't Starve x YOUTOOZ', signifying a collaboration. WX-78, the brown robot, stands on the left, holding the small heart-shaped robot seen earlier. Wickerbottom, the intellectual character, is on the right, holding her green book and maintaining her characteristic gesturing pose. Below the platform, against the dark background, are two small circular icons accompanied by text: 'FREE IN-GAME SKIN WITH EACH PURCHASE'. The icon beneath WX-78 depicts a small house, while the one under Wickerbottom features a cat-like creature with a propeller. The overall color palette is warm, with golden light illuminating the characters and platform, set against the dark, minimalist background. The lighting is dramatic, creating strong highlights on the figurines and their base.
0:21youtooz logo outro
The screen is entirely black, serving as a clean, minimalist canvas. In the precise center of the frame, the Youtooz logo appears in stark white text: 'YOUTOOZ.COM'. Directly above this text, two small, arched white lines are positioned, resembling stylized eyes or eyebrows, completing the brand's iconic minimalist face logo. The white text and logo stand out with high contrast against the deep black background, making for a clear and impactful branding statement. The scene is static, providing a final, conclusive visual for the advertisement.
