TITLE: THE HERRINGBONE HUSTLE
SCENE 1
[0:00 - 0:15]
[SLOW PUSH IN]
An empty room. The subfloor is clean but bare. Sunlight streams through a window, highlighting dust motes in the air. In the corner are several neatly stacked boxes of laminate flooring.
[MUSIC: Upbeat, modern instrumental with a slight lo-fi, motivational feel starts]
ALEX (30s), dressed in practical work clothes, walks into the frame. He looks at the floor, then turns to the camera with a confident smile.
ALEX
Tired of this? Me too. Let's fix it.
(V/O)
Today, we’re tackling the king of flooring patterns: herringbone. It looks complicated, but with the right prep, you can absolutely nail it.

SCENE 2
[0:15 - 0:45]
[QUICK CUT MONTAGE]
1. [CLOSE-UP] Alex’s hands rolling out a foam underlay.
2. [MEDIUM SHOT] Alex taping the seams of the underlay with silver tape.
3. [TOP-DOWN SHOT] Alex uses a measuring tape to find the exact center of the longest wall. He makes a pencil mark. He does the same on the opposite wall.
(V/O)
A perfect finish starts with a perfect foundation. Once your underlay is down, the most critical step is finding your centerline. This line is your guide for the entire room.
Alex holds a chalk line taut between the two pencil marks.
ALEX
(To camera)
Ready for the best part?
He plucks the string.
[SFX: A sharp, satisfying *SNAP* of the chalk line hitting the underlay]
[CLOSE-UP] A perfectly straight, blue chalk line now bisects the room.

SCENE 3
[0:45 - 1:15]
[MEDIUM SHOT]
Alex kneels at the center of the chalk line, two different starter planks in hand (one with a tongue on the end, one with a groove).
(V/O)
Herringbone planks usually come in "A" and "B" boxes. You'll start by creating your first point, a perfect 90-degree triangle, right on that centerline.
[EXTREME CLOSE-UP]
Alex’s hands deftly connect the first two planks. We see the tongue of one plank slide into the groove of the other at a right angle.
[SFX: A soft, solid *CLICK* as they lock]
