CONCEPT

The idea is to sell a dream. We get tired of doing the household chores (especially related to the kitchen) everyday. What if things happened with a snap of a finger? What if everything was automated and all you had to concentrate was on the results?

SCRIPT ONE

The daily chores start with doing the dishes, a dirty sink with dishes transits into a squeaky clean one. To make the transition more interesting and intuitive, instead of a real kitchen counter, an animated one does the job for you, not only it's less disgusting, at least for a few seconds it makes the boring process fun to watch. Then we move on to making food, from ingredients to a hot pizza out of the oven! Everything in a couple of seconds. Then to setting up the table, and then onwards bridging the gap between this real and that artificial world by showing the animated reflection of the protagonist in the window. Then onwards the protagonist can be seen plating, and a top view of shot establishes the game's logo.
