storyline, take one

Ali did a great job summing up the storyline. 

This is how it goes (for now):

"We meet rabbit casually slouching against a tree outside a detached house, playing with his smartphone 3, it has a carrot with a bite out of it on it. His head rises and he spots through the kitchen window a smartphone 4 shining proudly on a tall fridge in the corner, it has the same logo but better! Deciding to steal it, he looks around and seeing the coast is clear, whips out a stocking and pulls it over his head, squashing his facial features, his ears pop out the top.

He enters the kitchen through the window and jumps across the gap to the worktop (populated with cook books, scales, microwave, etc. a row of cupboards hang from the wall.) and makes his way along it, climbing up onto the fridge to take the phone. He looks at it carefully before picking it up, waits a beat, then looks to camera and smirks.

Rabbit turns and jumps from the frdge to the worktop, landing badly on one side of a set of scales, propelling the load from the other side into the air and hitting a knife rack which launches knives at rabbit, which he just manages to avoid. Pulling himself clear of the knives he runs into a blender which accidentally switches on with his foot. As he falls face first into the blades he catches a cupboard door above him, halting his fall but allowing a torrent of potatoes to fall on his head and chase him off the edge of the worktop, as well as knock over a bottle of oil which pours on to the floor. As rabbit lands on the floor he slips on the oil and lands badly. From his landing position he sees a pile of carrots and reaches for one. He compares the actual carrot in one hand with the "virtual" carrot in the other, weighing up the relative merits and questioning his motivation (ahem), before tossing the phone over his shoulder and happily eating the carrot. He looks to camera and shrugs as if to say, "well I am a rabbit".

Film ends, audiences go wild, Oscars becon, etc."


Tomorrow we're deciding on the design. Bring your best to hell with the rest!
