## t1s2_death — steamrolled [Dez]
The giant rolling vinyl record catches Dez mid-stride and rolls straight over
him with a comic squash; it rolls away revealing Dez flattened into the
checkerboard floor like a pressed record, perfectly flat with a dazed expression,
one hand rising weakly. The clip ends held on this frame. Static wide shot,
inside the cluttered record store at night, neon glow. 1980s hand-drawn cel

## t1s3_action — tape tentacles [Dez]
Inside the cluttered record store at night, neon glow, checkerboard floor. Long
whipping tentacles of brown cassette tape burst out of a bargain bin and lash at
Dez's ankles; he leaps sideways over a sweeping tape tendril at the last moment.

outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no
watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract designs

him head to toe into a mummy of shiny brown tape; only his eyes are visible,
blinking twice. The clip ends held on this frame. Static medium shot, inside
the record store at night, neon glow. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink

## t1s4_action — ceiling fan [Dez]
Inside the cluttered record store at night, neon glow. The ceiling fan rips
loose from the ceiling and helicopters through the aisle at head height,
spinning wildly and shredding paper; Dez ducks flat to the checkerboard floor
as it screams over him. Static wide shot. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick
ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions,
no watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract

lands headfirst into a large wooden bargain bin with his legs sticking straight
up, kicking once, then still. The clip ends held on this frame. Static wide

## sh1_action — the filing decision [Dez]
Inside the record store at night. Dez stands at a wooden crate holding a single
record with a plain white sleeve, looking between three open filing crates in
front of him, sweating, eyes darting left, center and right as the overhead
light flickers ominously and dramatic shadows deepen around him. Slow push-in
on his agonized face. The clip ends held on his frozen indecision. 1980s hand-
drawn cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film
grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters and record
sleeves are blank or abstract designs with no lettering.

## sh1_death_pit — the misfile [Dez]
Inside the record store at night. Dez slides a white-sleeved record into a
filing crate; the entire row of crates instantly splits open like a trapdoor
and he plunges through the floor with flailing arms into darkness, record
sleeves fluttering down after him like leaves. High angle looking down the
hole. The clip ends on the dark hole with one sleeve settling on the edge.

backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters

## mf1_action — Misfile Dimension [Dez]
A surreal endless warehouse of towering wrongly-stacked record crates leaning
at impossible angles under a sickly green sky; giant three-dimensional letters
of the alphabet slowly topple like dominoes toward Dez as he sprints between
crate towers; he dives behind a wooden crate divider as a huge letter slams
down beside him. Tracking wide shot. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation, thick ink
outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions, no
watermark; the giant letters are abstract blocky glyph shapes, not readable

The giant toppling glyph slams flat onto Dez; the camera holds a beat, then the
glyph rises slightly to reveal Dez pressed into the ground like a flattened
record sleeve, blinking. The clip ends held on this frame. Static wide shot,
surreal warehouse of leaning crate towers, sickly green sky. 1980s hand-drawn
cel animation, thick ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain.

## intro_qual — THE NEEDLE DROP ⭐ QUALITY TIER, 2 takes
Inside a cluttered independent record store at night, closing time, one desk
lamp on. Dez, alone, finds an unlabeled record with a plain white sleeve in a
returns bin, shrugs, places it on a glowing turntable at the counter and lowers
the needle. The moment the needle touches, thick black liquid vinyl bleeds
outward from the record's groove across the turntable and the counter, rising
in thin dripping tendrils as Dez's eyes go wide and the neon lights flicker
violently. Slow push-in ending on the spreading black liquid. 1980s hand-drawn
cel animation, theatrical animated feature quality, thick ink outlines,
painterly gouache backgrounds, dramatic colored rim lighting, film grain. No
text, no captions, no watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are
blank or abstract designs with no lettering.

## attract_loop — title mood [no characters]
Slow dolly through the empty cluttered record store at night, neon signs
glowing red and cyan, dust motes in the air, a turntable spinning with black
liquid slowly dripping upward from the record, lightning flickering the lights.

ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no captions,
no watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or abstract

## t2s3_reshoot — vinyl-fin sharks [Dez] (pickup for the shark run)
The record store flooded into an open ocean at night, wooden record racks
bobbing like rafts, neon glow on the water, spray and foam. Dez sprints and
leaps across a chain of half-sunken wooden record crates while three sharks
circle and lunge at his heels; each shark's dorsal fin is a black vinyl record
with a bright red circular label at its center, clearly visible cutting through
the water. Tracking wide shot moving with him. 1980s hand-drawn cel animation,
thick ink outlines, painterly gouache backgrounds, film grain. No text, no
captions, no watermark; all signs, posters and record sleeves are blank or
