New Year cheers effect

A whole crowd lifts and clinks in one wave across an open square. a wide shot of a crowd filling an open square at night, glasses rising together in a wave that travels from the near edge of the frame to the far side, hundreds of rims meeting in pairs and triples with the drink rocking in each one, the light from overhead bulb strings catching every glass as it tips, the crowd faces turned toward each other rather than the camera, slow crane up over the wave

A wide room stays plain until the central clink fills it with confetti. a wide shot of a plain high ceilinged hall with two people standing in the middle raising glasses, the room bare and undecorated until the rims touch, and on that frame a wall of gold confetti and paper streamers bursts out from the centre and fills the whole volume of the room, drifting down through shafts of warm light while the two glasses stay locked together, camera pulling back steadily to show the room filling

The moment the rims touch, confetti sprays outward from the contact point. two glasses meeting in the middle of a small plain living room, and at the exact frame the rims touch a spray of small gold and white confetti bursts outward from the point of contact and drifts down through the room, the glasses continuing to rock while the paper turns and falls past a lamp, everything before the contact perfectly still and undecorated, camera holding tight on the two glasses

Glasses come in from every edge and all of them clink at once. a top down view of a small round cafe table as ten hands push tall glasses in from every edge of the frame at the same speed, all of the rims meeting over the centre of the table in one collective knock, the liquid rocking in every glass together and a few drops landing on the wood, the hands holding there for a beat before drawing back, overhead pendant light, locked overhead camera

Two glasses meet at the top of the lift and the wine rocks from the hit. two people on a bare rooftop terrace at midnight lift tall glasses of pale sparkling wine from waist height toward each other, the rims meeting at the top of the lift with a visible jolt, the liquid rocking up one side of each glass and a few drops flicking free, bubbles racing to the surface afterward, cold blue night behind them and one warm string of bulbs lighting the glass, slow push in on the point of contact

A slow lift and clink lit only by a burning sparkler held to one side. two people on a narrow apartment balcony raise short tumblers toward each other while one of them holds a burning sparkler out to the side, the rims meeting with a clear knock and the drink tipping against the glass wall, the sparkler light flaring white across their knuckles and the rims at the moment of contact, sparks falling past the railing, handheld camera easing in slowly

A slow two-hand toast in front of a fire, the flames moving in the glass. a wide shot of two people standing in front of a low open fire in a quiet lounge, lifting wide bowled glasses slowly toward each other until the rims meet with a soft knock, the dark red liquid swinging up the inside of each bowl from the impact and settling back, the flames reflected and bending inside both glasses through the whole move, warm firelight on their forearms, slow dolly in from wide to medium

A flute stands empty, then fills from the base up with no bottle in frame. a single tall flute standing empty on a plain kitchen counter, pale gold sparkling wine rising inside it from the base upward with no bottle anywhere in frame, the surface climbing steadily and settling into a ring of foam, bubbles streaming from the bottom of the bowl once it is full, a hand entering from the right to lift it just as the pour finishes, low warm counter light, locked camera at glass height

Side by side on a wooden rail, both glasses fill from empty at once. a wide shot of two empty tall glasses standing side by side on a wooden chalet railing above a dark valley, pale sparkling wine rising inside both of them at the same rate from base to rim with no bottle in frame, foam settling and bubbles streaming once they are full, the cold mountain air showing faintly above the glasses, warm window light from behind lighting the liquid through the glass, locked wide camera

A hand lifts an empty tumbler and the drink appears inside it on the way up. a hand lifting an empty heavy tumbler off a dim bar counter, and as the glass rises amber sparkling drink appears inside it and climbs to the halfway mark, ice forming and turning slowly in the liquid by the time the glass reaches chin height, condensation beading down the outside, a second empty tumbler still sitting on the counter for comparison, soft bar lamp overhead, camera tracking upward with the hand
