Locked wide shot. The subject from the reference photo stands inside a giant glass arcade claw machine, surrounded by an ankle-deep pile of oversized plush toys. 0-2s she looks around confused, knocking on the invisible glass in front of her, mouthing 'hello?'. 2-6s a massive metallic arcade claw drops from the top of the frame; she looks up, gasps, and tries to playfully bat it away with her hands. 6-8s the claw firmly but gently clamps around her torso, lifting her feet off the plushie floor. 8-10s she dangles in mid-air, kicking her legs slightly, and gives the camera a comical, helpless shrug and a smile. Upbeat quirky arcade music + mechanical whirring sound effects. Face, hair, and outfit remain unchanged.
