Silhouettes of Mr Millar and Jess in front of the boss’ office door
Mr Millar’s daughter sat on a chair behind a desk/table with paper on it.
Needs to seem like the speech is coming from a doorway, out of sight.
Moments later…
A view of the strange man leaning against a wall – Mr Millar’s daughter’s head to the side as if we’re looking from her perspective

Will you offer me the colour and vision of
your right eye?
Close up of the strange man’s face
Close up of an eye – full colour
Bright Colours
Still a close up, the eye colour is completely gone and replaced with white – apart from the pupil.
Mr Millar you’ve been
late everyday for 3 months and you’re
lacking talent. I’m going to have to let you go…
But WHAT
Mr Millar?
N…no, sir, you can’t! I may
not have talent but…
Excuse me?
Turn all of this paper in to money to
prove your talent. If you
fail, your father looses
his job.You have 24
hours.
Excuse me, miss…you
seem troubled…
I have nothing
to offer…
Uh…yeah, sure. Yes!

My daughter can turn
paper in to money…
Turns right in to notes…I s…swear, it’s a
miracle!She’ll have to prove it then,
won’t she? And if you’re
wrong, Mr Millar which
for your sake I hope you’re not. You will loose your
job, you hear me?
Yes sir!
Connecting speech bubbles
Mr. Millar’s daughter was scared to death…
Dad…I literally can’t do this!
For goodness sake, Jess, of course you can’t…I’m
going to look like an idiot,
just…do something?
Every image is rotoscoped
Mr. Millar’s daughter was takenIn to a room filled with paper…
Oh…uh, well yeah, I kinda
am…D’ya have to turn all this
paper to money by
any chance?
I do…how did
you-
I could do it you know…for a price

The Next Day…
Holy crap, you’ve done it!
Mr Millar’s daughter lounging on the chair, smiling < - - that’s important!
Bright colours
As if it’s come from the doorway
As impressed as I am, I still don’t
believe you. For all we know this could
be trickery!I’m going to ask you to do the task again.
But on a larger scale!
The boss with his arms crossed, smug face
Dull colours

I’ll turn this in to
money again. For a slightly
larger price…

offer you this time…

this paper in to
money mean
much to you?

The girl sat in the middle of an even larger room filled with paper, head hung low.The man in the background.
G’morning, miss, I’ll do it again. I
only ask for a small price in return…
Looking at the girl from the man’s perspective – she’s sat in a chair
As if it’s coming from behind the boss’ daughter/ in perspective of the man
Yes, I’ll do it…whatever the
price…
In return for my
efforts, I ask for
your first born child.
Who knows
if that’s ever
gonna happe

Done.
Side profile of the girl – looking sad The girl stood in the middle of the room looking in to the camera
You’ve convinced me, your father’s
job is safe – for now.
And as for you, it would be my honour to ask for your hand in marriage?
The boss’ greed fuelled his next decision…
-Sigh-
