And depending on the episode of the two aforementioned series, these are all the footage variants described:

  • A man wearing a red patterned shirt smashes a thin long wood stump in half with his axe on a path with grass, as a tan-gold dog runs into frame, barking and looking at the wood piece (used in the pilot of Best Friends Forever, every episode of Animal Practice, season 1 eps 1, 3 and 6 and season 2 of Dice).
  • On a table in a place, a bowl consisting of nachos and chips slides from the left into frame, as a hand then grabs one of the chips (used in the Best Friends Forever episode "The Butt Dial" and the Dice episode "Sal Maldonado").
  • In a bowling alley, there is an area consisting of three bowling balls, as a gold ball then rolls into frame onto the stack (used in the Best Friends Forever episode "Put a Pin in It").
  • In a backyard with clotheslines and pegs on it, a teal-blue patterned polo shirt is seen hanging on it, which a woman wearing a bright red shirt and blue shorts grabs off from (used in the Best Friends Forever episode "Single and Lovin' It").
  • In another backyard, a man wearing a gray-red polo shirt and black pants pulls out a cooked turkey from a silver pot using a gray skewer poke, while smoke steams out from it (used in the Best Friends Forever episode "Hey Nonny Nonny").
