The opening shot features a young man with a quote about innovation, set against a visually striking digital background.

The ad opens with a young man, Carson Holmes, in front of a dark, futuristic background with blue digital lines. Text overlays his name and major. He speaks about innovation. The scene then cuts to close-ups of hands in gloves working on intricate mechanical parts in a bright, yellow-lit lab. Another shot shows a man with glasses and a beard looking down at something. Then, a person in a lab coat is seen carrying a yellow bin. A different scene shows two men working on a drone, one holding a remote. Another shot features two men intensely focused on wiring and electronics. A third man stands next to a large rocket. The final sequence shows a young man in a workshop, and then Carson Holmes again, with an end card displaying application information for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
