Close up of eyes opening and a cat looking down and staring intensely, Jerri gets up, pets the cat, and rubs his eyes.

(the colour has changed to greyish and cold),
Jerri sits at his computer and looks around nervously.
Everyone around him is typing or talking incoherently on the phone. Everyone's eyes look dead and soulless.
Jerri looks down at the keyboard, he hovers his hands over the keys, they are far larger than the keys. He tries to type something but when he looks at his computer screen it's just a jumble of letters.
Jerri tries again by using just one finger, carefully he tries to press one key, but his finger is too floppy and presses 3 keys at once.
Jerri tries one more time to type by holding his finger with the other hand, carefully trying to lower his finger onto the keyboard.
Suddenly the phone rings and Jerri gets a fright, he drops both hands onto the keyboard.
Cut to the computer screen, a folder saying “IMPORTANT DOCUMENTS” pops up and a notification saying “would you like to delete these files?

FIN
some ideas - 26/10 meeting
-on the presentation, Shauni pointed that maybe it would be interesting for us to show the struggle in addapting through leaving some of the previous technique in the character when it morphs into the next one. We thought that could work fine to depict that struggle. (Maybe the problem that results in the firings could be the limb being in another technique more then him messing up?
-also, something else she ponted out and that we discussed later is to show how everybody is actually going through the same struggle. she talked about showing it maybe through the co-workers, but ajibola had the idea of depicting that through a zoom out in the end, showing his neighbors coming home in a similar half-morphed situation.
-we talked about trying to come up with a good script for the everyday routine at home (and at work too, I think we should kind of create a pattern of repeating situations) and just repeat it very literally, but in the different styles.
- try to determine what we feel that work in terms of shape, from our sketches. what parts of which drawings do we prefer, etc, so we can get to a final shape
-how would be his last transformation? goes back to the first technique when quits? then there is an ‘official’ technique? or he morphs into another, last technique that represents his rage? the house morphs with him or remains the same throughout the film?
