CHARACTER: the same worker in every shot, round red head, blue cap, blue work jacket, dark trousers, calm deadpan face. SHOT 1: night, the office building doors burst open and the worker steps out onto the street, tired. The red and blue towers lean in over him. A single yellow noodle strand appears at his feet, wiggles like it is alive, then zips off down the street. Snappy, comedic timing. Mood: end-of-shift fatigue turning into curiosity. Grade: flat saturated red and blue, deep ink-black night. (4s)

Mood: crisp, final button. Grade: flat cream with grain. (5s)
