{Cut to Rob Cantor in a black room moving in stop motion. A Chiptune cover of Welcome to Tally Hall plays. Rob puts his hands together and pulls them apart to reveal his name on a yellow block and moves into the background. Ross Federman moves into the foreground and pushes a grey block against his head with his right hand, it comes out the other side of his head and the grey block with his name on it gets grabbed by his right hand. Ross moves into the background. Joe Hawley comes into the foreground doing a finger gun motion, the red block with his name on it comes out like a flag from a prop gun. Joe moves into the background. Andrew comes into the foreground, grabs the screen, which flashes green for a millisecond, he pulls the block back until it freezes on him holding the block with his name on it. Andrew moves into the background. Zubin moves into the foreground, unfolding the block, which has his name on it when he moves it down slightly. Zubin moves into the background, the other members of the band move next to him, then go into the foreground, but are interrupted by a falling curtain.
