•DAVE VS THE VENDING MACHINE
•TOTAL VIDEO TIME: 15 SECONDS
•8 PANELS · THREE ATTEMPTS · ZERO BARS
Same character throughout: Dave, early 40s, light brown messed hair, plain navy blue office shirt sleeves rolled up, dark trousers, black office shoes. Bright clean office corridor, plain white walls, bright white fluorescent lighting throughout. One silver vending machine against the wall — clear glass front, five rows of generic plain colored products inside on silver spiral coils, NO brand names anywhere. The chocolate bar is always a plain red wrapped rectangular bar located on the SECOND ROW, THIRD COIL FROM LEFT. This position never changes. Same machine, same corridor, same Dave, same red bar in every panel.
8 panels:
Panel 1 — THE APPROACH
Wide shot. Dave walking confidently toward the vending machine, hand reaching for wallet. Machine ahead — five rows visible through glass, second row third coil fully stocked with plain red bars. Caption: “Every day. Same machine. Same bar.”
Panel 2 — THE PURCHASE
Medium shot. Dave tapping card on reader, display showing DISPENSING. Through the glass — the front plain red bar on second row third coil beginning to move forward along the spiral. Caption: “Tap. Select. Done.” Sound: card beep, satisfying mechanical whirr.
Panel 3 — THE STICK
Close-up on second row third coil only. The plain red bar has reached the end of the spiral — front half hanging past the coil edge, back half still resting on the last spiral loop. Perfectly balanced. Not falling. Spiral stopped. Caption: “Almost.” Sound: whirr slows and stops. Silence. One low string note.
Panel 4 — THE FACE
Medium shot. Dave’s face pressed against the glass, both hands cupped around his eyes, nose almost touching. Bar visible hanging behind the glass. Expression shifted from casual to deeply concerned. Caption: “It’s right there.” Sound: Dave’s quiet disbelieving exhale.
Panel 5 — THE SHAKE
Medium shot from the side. Dave gripping both sides of the machine shaking it — tie flapping, one foot off the ground. Through the glass — the plain red bar on second row third coil has not moved one millimetre. Everything else in the machine has shifted slightly. Not that bar. Caption: “It didn’t move.” Sound: machine rattling, Dave grunting, then silence.
Panel 6 — THE SECOND PURCHASE
Close-up on the card reader. Dave’s hand tapping card again. Display changing to DISPENSING. Through the glass in the background — first red bar still hanging on the edge, second red bar now moving forward behind it along the spiral. Caption: “Fine. I’ll knock it down.” Sound: card beep, mechanical whirr.
Panel 7 — TWO BARS STUCK
Close-up on second row third coil only — identical framing to panel 3. TWO plain red chocolate bars now hanging on the edge of the spiral in a perfect row. Both teetering. Both balanced. Both paid for. Both going nowhere. Caption: “Both of them.” Sound: whirr stops. Silence. Same low string note as panel 3 but lower.
Panel 8 — THE PAYOFF
Wide shot. Dave standing completely still in front of the machine, arms at sides, wallet in hand, staring at the two red bars hanging on the edge through the glass. Expression completely hollow. Display screen showing THANK YOU. Dispensing tray at the bottom completely empty. Dave slowly turns and walks back down the corridor. Empty handed. Caption: “He walked away hungry.” Sound: complete silence. Faint office ambience. Dave’s footsteps fading.
STYLE NOTES:
Pixar 3D vivid rendering. Bright white fluorescent office lighting throughout — NO dark frames. Dave consistent in every panel. Vending machine identical in every panel — silver body, clear glass, five rows.
