Description

Shot Type

We see a stop motion character, in

an exterior location, waiting to
be interviewed. The camera moves
and focuses as if the camera
operator is setting it up, and
there are sounds of a film crew
getting ready.

As the above voiceover is heard

his facial expressions change
accordingly, as he remembers that
its part of the job and he
shouldnt be angry, therefore he
accepts it.

from having to hold ridiculous and
amusing poses, however now hes

Close Up, Locked

Of

CGI Guy is still checking himself

out in the mirror as the interview
continues.
CGI GUY
Im not constrained by anyone
its a good feeling.
INTERVIEWER
But what about
CGI Guy realizes that the
interviewer is talking about the
cursor, so he abruptly puts down
his mirror and leans forward with
a scared expression and his finger
on his lips implying that the
interviewer should lower his
voice.
CGI GUY
(Whispers)
Do you mean?
(Points upwards)
INTERVIEWER
(In a normal voice)
Yeah, the cursor

CGI Guy waves his hands nervously

to interrupt the interviewer.

Off with a bit of
movement as he
comes forward

Notes

CGI GUY
(V.O.)
Once I complained about wearing
the same outfit one day...

CGI
Environment

CGI Guy is loaded into the scene,

we see a closeup of his face. As
he gets ready to walk he realizes
(and so does the audience with a
zoom out) that from his neck down
he is just a wireframe. He then
tries to cover himself, as if hes
Close Up, zooms to
naked, and exits the frame
wide
waddling.

STOP MOTION GUY

One of my favourite parts of the
job is all the cool clothes I get
to wear! Because not everyone gets
to wear clothes that are handmade
and specially tailored. You have
to appreciate the effort put in by Medium, Locked
Off
such talented people.

As he speaks we see b-roll of him

going through a clothes rack and
picking out clothes.

CGI GUY

As he speaks he lifts his coffee
to drink it. Suddenly the cursor
clicks on the coffee and deletes
it.
CGI GUY
(With quick and exaggerated
movements)
Oh no! Look what youve done!
Youve angered the cursor!!! Now
were all in trouble! And worst of
all Im not going to get to enjoy
my triple mocha frappa lacka macka
chino latte! All I wanted was a
triple mocha frappa lacka macka
chino latte!!!
We hear a *boop* from above. CGI
GUY looks up, and he sees
something as his eyes widen. The
camera pans up and we see a
massive amount of coffee cups
flying towards them. The camera
returns to CGI GUY as he panics.
Coffee cups start falling on the
ground, and a coffee cup explodes
on his head, covering him in
coffee. This scene is also
intercut with the calmness of the
stop motion set.
CGI GUY
Oh no! My hair!!!

CG04

CGI Interview He immediately takes out his

in front of
mirror and starts fixing his hair

INTERVIEWER
Do you ever feel lonely in here?
CGI GUY
(With a discomforted smile)
No no I dont.

CGI guy looks down, as he clearly

does feel lonely but is afraid to
admit it. He looks to the
boundaries of the cgi scene and
CGI Interview sees that there is nothing
in front of

Environment a grid.
This is intercut with shots from

Environment

CGI Guy is in the foreground of a

handheld shot, flexing for the
camera. The cursor appears in the
background and loads in a
character, however the other
character is loaded without any
textures and starts complaining.
The cursor picks him up and throws
him into the distance,
disappearing into a shine (in
reference to team rocket in
pokemon). CGI guy looks back at
the camera with a blank but

concerned expression.
