Video transcript: Live new experiences abroad with International Experience Canada!

Video length: 56 seconds

The scene opens, showing a close-up of green moss. Birds are chirping. Gentle upbeat music plays.

Narrator: There they are. Waiting to be found.

We see an individual, from the knee down, wearing ankle-length blue jeans and ankle-high brown boots, walking on a path surrounded by green grass, trees and moss. A hand brushes over the top of the moss very lightly.

Narrator: Amidst the random and the unpredictable.

The scene transitions to show the top half of the person. They have long dark hair, are wearing a black sweater and are looking off into the distance. They are continuing to walk along the trail, greenery surrounding them. The brightness of the sun is seen through the green trees.

Narrator: If you tune in

A man with medium-length brown hair, wearing dark-coloured round glasses and a sweater, walks in tall grass. The green grass is high enough to reach the man’s waist.

Narrator: you can sense them.

The sun gleams down through the trees. The man stops walking, looks up toward the top of the trees.

Narrator: And open yourself up to the unexpected.

A person wearing a baseball cap, long sleeves and pants is seen walking along a bank of large rocks that lead out into the water. The waves are strong, and the sun appears to have set. The scene transitions to a close-up of the person’s face, only showing from their nose up. Their eyes are staring off into the distance. The scene transitions to a blue subway train speeding past from right to left.

Narrator: That’s what new experiences are all about.

Display Text: “New experiences.”

The scene shifts to the inside of a transit train. Four individuals are seen on the train; three are seated. One is a woman wearing a scarf and holding a bag with a bottle inside. The person to her left is wearing a jacket and pants, with a red hat on his head, and is typing on his laptop as he glances around. To his left is a man wearing a hat, glasses, a jacket, jeans and running shoes. Standing beside this man, with their back against the glass and facing away, is another individual. On the left-hand side of the scene, there is a close-up view of a left hand holding a cellphone.

Narrator: A shift in perspective.

The scene transitions to the man wearing the red hat now alone. He is seen from behind, now off the train, walking down a street with stores on both sides and glancing from side to side.

Narrator: Being nowhere else but here and now.

Text displays: “Here and now.”

We see this same man standing and overlooking a major highway as he places both hands in his pant pockets. He watches the steady flow of traffic going both ways in front of him. The sun has set, and the sky is now getting dark. The lights of the city have turned on.

Narrator: Creating lifelong memories.

The next scenes shift very quickly. The first is a scene with three women. They all have winter jackets on; the first is wearing a grey toque and the last, a dark-coloured one. The third woman has her arm extended in front and is taking a photo of the three of them as the sun shines. The scene quickly transitions to show a group of nine individuals taking a selfie together. The scene transitions again to a group of three women smiling and taking a photo. A building is seen on the right side behind one of the women. The last transition shows a group of five individuals smiling as they take a selfie on a bridge. They are all in rain jackets ranging from red, beige, green and blue, and their surroundings are wet.
