Standalone POCs, film look (cool palette, brand blue, black squircle mark). Nothing here touches the film comp.
Both are ready to drop into the film later. 1920×1080, 30fps, ~4s each.
Plate 1 — Manual work
“…back to the manual work we did before.”
Continuity from the crashed OpenClaw chat: the dead agent panel (disconnected · Run failed · No response from agent) still sits in the warm home-office, and a person starts filling a spreadsheet by hand to replace it. A light cool wash eases in to signal the letdown.
v3
Dead OpenClaw → hand-typed spreadsheet
Opens on the exact crashed state from L03 (same warm office, same failure messages), holds so the letdown lands, then the panel lifts out and a report_by_hand.xlsx slides in. A caret types the rows by hand, with a real mistyped-then-corrected keystroke, while the room slowly cools. The agent died, so it is back to manual.
Three workers run while you are away and each completes with a checkmark and an honest task label. No fabricated numbers, just the qualitative “done”.
v3
Three agents, running → done
Research, Outreach and Inbox chips enter staggered, sweep an indeterminate progress bar (no fake percentages), then complete one by one: the orb becomes a checkmark, the bar goes solid, and the label resolves to “sources found”, “drafts ready”, “inbox sorted”. Framed by “You’re away, Floom’s got it.”
