    uniE613 A Speculative 30-Second Watch Commercial
    Youtube description from May 29th, 2024: "Hello! I spent the past couple days converting my spare room into a product photography studio. I shot some video of a watch I own, and that eventually became a fake commercial I edited (with ample help in the form of stock footage from the good people over at MotionArray). The voiceover is mine. I practiced by trying to mimic the cadence of Peterman (Elaine's boss) from 'Seinfeld'."
