Plot:
[#] Scene number
[1]CG character is walking down the
street, when a man (live actor A) from the side of the street approaches him,
asks for ID and gives him covertly a box.
This event looks pre-organised – like a secret exchange of some sort. [2]The
CG character starts studying the box as he continues walking. He bumps into a passer-by who is
talking on the phone (live actor B), which causes him to drop the box along
with his ID, which was still in his hand. The man apologises (no dialogue) and
picks up the box for him. CG
character is stunned and snatches the box from the man’s hands, and gives him a
push on the shoulder as he walks away suspiciously – looking around and over
his shoulder – the box is precious to him. The man notices the ID on the ground
picks it up and runs after the CG character to return it. [3] The CG character notices the man running behind him and panics,
thinking that he is after his box. He runs into an alley to lose him but it’s
blocked by police tapes and a car.
He stops, he can’t go forward and he can’t go back because the man is
approaching, so he runs into an open door. [4]
Interior: Old stairs with a big window on
the middle floor – looks abandoned. CG character walks up the stairs while
looking over his shoulder, which causes him to miss a step and fall through the
window. [5] As he crashes out the
window, the box slips from his hands in slow motion and tries to grab it
mid-air while falling into a skip. There’s a small pause as he is trying to
figure out what happened – the box is tightly held on his chest with both
hands. Then he climbs out the skip, dust’s himself off while looking at the
broken window, and jogs out to the street. Tries to jump over a fence but falls to the ground, but gets
up instantly and limps onto the street. [6]
He hears somebody shouting and he turns around at the man who is waving at him (ID
in hand); the CG character panics again and runs home. [7] Small fast paced shots
showing him running/walking home. [8]
He opens the front door of his house, with the box firmly placed under his arm,
which he then places on the desk by the door. He stands on top of it, switches on the desk lamp, and rubs
his hands. He sits, and finally
opens the box. He is delighted
with its contents, which is... a pair of EARS! He sits back on the chair, and
slowly takes off his headband – revealing his big animal ears, which unfold and
stretch in order to relax them as he had them tucked and tied under the
headband. He then proceeds to pick up the pair of realistic human ears from the
box. (Sign on the box: Prosthetic ears.)
Further Ending:
Will be displayed as 2D illustrations, showing that he wanted
the prosthetic ears for a date, but when his date arrives and he opens the
door, she also has big animal ears. But hers are stretched up proudly. So his
ears pop out too, with a silly face.
