**20-second video, 16:9, cinematic dark-comedy thriller.**

Use **<<<7beddc7f-309d-4bb6-861f-4efd0eb7ad6f>>>** and **<<<49b5ebea-9e29-4def-be65-74f6aa97e0d8>>>** as the exact character references. Preserve their recognizable faces and body proportions.

Location: an isolated dirt clearing in the absolute middle of nowhere, surrounded by dense forest and empty wilderness. No buildings, roads, or other people nearby. A large industrial **wood chipper** sits running beside an old pickup truck. Late afternoon, bleak overcast lighting, unsettling atmosphere.

**0–4s:** Wide establishing shot. The wood chipper engine violently rattles and roars in the empty clearing. Camera slowly pushes toward **<<<7beddc7f-309d-4bb6-861f-4efd0eb7ad6f>>>**, standing beside it with an unnervingly casual expression.

**4–8s:** Reveal **<<<49b5ebea-9e29-4def-be65-74f6aa97e0d8>>> tightly tied to a heavy wooden chair**, ropes wrapped around his torso, arms, and legs. The chair is fully intact. <<<49b5ebea-9e29-4def-be65-74f6aa97e0d8>>> struggles and rocks the chair while staring at the running wood chipper in panic. <<<7beddc7f-309d-4bb6-861f-4efd0eb7ad6f>>> calmly walks behind him.

**8–13s:** <<<7beddc7f-309d-4bb6-861f-4efd0eb7ad6f>>> grabs the wooden chair with <<<49b5ebea-9e29-4def-be65-74f6aa97e0d8>>> still tied to it, effortlessly lifts the entire chair, and carries it several steps toward the chipper. Use a low-angle tracking shot to exaggerate <<<7beddc7f-309d-4bb6-861f-4efd0eb7ad6f>>>'s strength. <<<49b5ebea-9e29-4def-be65-74f6aa97e0d8>>> continues desperately struggling.

**13–17s:** <<<7beddc7f-309d-4bb6-861f-4efd0eb7ad6f>>> swings the chair once for momentum and **throws the entire tied-up chair and <<<49b5ebea-9e29-4def-be65-74f6aa97e0d8>>> directly into the wood chipper's large intake chute**. Clearly show the chair leaving <<<7beddc7f-309d-4bb6-861f-4efd0eb7ad6f>>>'s hands and entering the chute. The instant <<<49b5ebea-9e29-4def-be65-74f6aa97e0d8>>> and the chair disappear past the edge of the intake, **CUT AWAY before any injury or gore is visible.**

**17–20s:** Hold on <<<7beddc7f-309d-4bb6-861f-4efd0eb7ad6f>>> standing beside the machine as the wood chipper suddenly revs much louder. Splintered **wood fragments from the chair** blast harmlessly from the discharge chute into a pile behind the machine. No blood, body parts, gore, or visible injury. <<<7beddc7f-309d-4bb6-861f-4efd0eb7ad6f>>> watches completely unfazed, dusts off his hands, and casually walks toward the pickup truck.

**Audio:** Loud diesel wood-chipper engine, ropes creaking, wooden chair scraping across dirt, <<<49b5ebea-9e29-4def-be65-74f6aa97e0d8>>>'s muffled panicked struggling, heavy mechanical rev after the cutaway. No music.

**Continuity locks:** Only one <<<7beddc7f-309d-4bb6-861f-4efd0eb7ad6f>>> and one <<<49b5ebea-9e29-4def-be65-74f6aa97e0d8>>>. <<<49b5ebea-9e29-4def-be65-74f6aa97e0d8>>> remains tied to the same wooden chair throughout. <<<7beddc7f-309d-4bb6-861f-4efd0eb7ad6f>>> personally lifts and throws the complete chair with <<<49b5ebea-9e29-4def-be65-74f6aa97e0d8>>> still attached. Do not show <<<49b5ebea-9e29-4def-be65-74f6aa97e0d8>>> escaping, falling out of the chair, switching characters, or appearing outside the machine after the throw. No gore or visible bodily injury.
