Don’t let me scroll

One night of doomscrolling, inside the phone. Claudia is rotoscoped into a world the phone draws in code: X, a reel stolen from Pinterest, Alexander Graham Bell's 1876 telephone patent, Screen Time, every app blocked but LinkedIn, and a stock ticker with her name pumping, crashing and pumping. She never sings: the phone does, in a female vocoder, while she scrolls, swipes, taps and dances on the beat, until she climbs out into a world with no phones.

The film

22 frames from the finished cut

ACID FEED: the acid-blur moodboard taken a hundred times further, with BLISS as the template. What she scrolls past smears by its real scroll velocity under small sharp type, and the acid colour is thin-film interference, stirred by her dance. Midway the film finds its grammar, and the opening and the final drop were rebuilt in it: soft grey paper, black Dynamic-Island pills with thin-film colour inside them, Nimbus Sans Bold caps. Every sung word lives on a real app surface: X posts, Screen Time's limit sheet, LinkedIn, Stocks, the Dynamic Island. The feed dresses her: white satin pyjamas in the bedroom, an oversized white shirt over skirts, green mohair, black with a blazer, and a red coat dress for the escape up a wall painted as sky.

In the film (the first frame or a reference of a take in the final cut, directly or through an outfit swap, and her avatar on the posts; the feed's pictures, which the chapters draw by kind, are not marked). The 40 marked here are the 39 first frames and references of the final's takes and P21 #4, her avatar on the LinkedIn post. Three more images reached the film and are not shown here: P05 #4, cropped to her avatar on her X posts and her reel; x-desk #2, a feed picture with a real brand on its cans; and the last repairs' face reference, DOWNFORCE's id-face #3, which that film's gallery leaves out. · The director's pick, from their storyboard review (CLODYSSEY only).
