[Drunk Man's Rooftop Fright — falls off the edge — grabs a rope through the window — passes out on the spot | black-comedy short | about 30 seconds] One-line premise: a chubby, cute, drunk middle-aged man is eating a burger and drinking beer on the rooftop of a building; as he stands up and stretches he accidentally loses his footing and falls, in his panic grabs a lifesaving rope and immediately crashes through a window into an interior, is dazed and stunned for one second, then just lies down where he is and falls fast asleep. Reference image @image1 — a chubby, cute, drunk middle-aged man: round and stocky build with a big round beer belly, short in stature, movements loose, slow and wobbly from drinking; round face, double chin, drink-flushed cheeks and nose, eyes narrowed to slits with a bleary gaze, an untrimmed ring of short stubble, messy hair, a silly, cute, carefree expression; wearing a white tank-top undershirt stained with burger sauce hanging loosely over his round belly, old jeans, shuffling along in loose slippers, always clutching a half-eaten burger in his hand. There is only this one character in the whole film, a 100% match to the reference image. Overall look: a nighttime cyberpunk mega-city, a dense forest of glass-and-steel skyscrapers, neon signs (cyan / magenta / electric blue), holographic billboards, wet reflective ground, volumetric fog, distant flying-car light trails and drones. Real live-action texture, physical cinema lenses, no 3D rendering / game engine / anime feel. The camera mixes handheld with jib / drone; after the fall the camera plunges down with him as the building's exterior wall and the neon streak upward to convey speed, 24-35mm widescreen cinematic lens texture, 180-degree shutter motion blur. Sound design is the key to the black comedy: hard-cutting repeatedly between "a huge roar" and "total silence". Real gravity throughout. Storyboard (about 30 seconds): S1 (0-4s) opening chewing big close-up (with sound) the man's face fills the screen, chewing the burger in big bites, a satisfied drunken state; S2 (4-9s) pull to a wide shot, stretching -> losing footing and falling (with sound) he wobbles to his feet and stretches big, leans back, can't keep his balance, his foot slips and he tumbles backward over the edge of the rooftop, never letting go of the burger, with a panicked "Eh——!"; S3 (9-12s) cut to a startled facial close-up (a loud scream, huge roar) drunken eyes bulging round, double chin bunched up, mouth wide in a screaming "Ahh——!!", wind howling; S4 (12-16s) cut to a long shot at eye level (total silence) seen from the building across the way, a tiny white figure plummeting straight down from the high-rise, the neon city vast and indifferent, the total silence forming a black-comedy contrast with the huge roar a second earlier; S5 (16-21s) cut to a facial close-up (screaming) -> grabbing the rope, still screaming, hands flailing in the air, he suddenly grabs a lifesaving cable, the cable snapping taut and bending under his weight with a twang, the scream cutting off abruptly as he is jerked and swings out (a brief slow motion at the moment he grabs the rope); S6 (21-26s) cut to an interior angle (quiet) -> the glass shatters -> he crashes in, the interior first quiet with only the hum of the air conditioner, the next second the glass explosively bursts inward (a brief bullet time) as the drunk man, burger and all, smashes through the window, shards flying out radially, neon light streaming in, and he crashes heavily into the room onto the floor / sofa, broken glass clinking; S7 (26-30s) ending, a startled second -> falls asleep, the man sprawled spread-eagle on the floor, covered in broken glass, still clutching the burger, slowly opens his eyes, dazed, blank and startled for a full second, looking around as if thinking "where am I?", then the drunkenness takes over and, not caring at all, he smacks his lips, tucks the burger into his arms, rolls over, lies down right there and falls fast asleep, even snoring lightly, the camera pulls out and freezes, hard cut to black. Only on-set live sound, no music, no subtitles; the core is hard cuts repeatedly between "huge roar" and "silence".
