Restrictions:

  • Stranger can only play “B” role. Recording will take place on camera in “A’s” location and on “A’s” Zoom account
  • "video-conference" only

(“A’s” laptop sits on a floor with a 2 person Zoom meeting running. No people in the Zoom boxes or the main shot. Both Zoom boxes show empty bedrooms.)

(A disembodied voice is heard from offscreen inside the actual bedroom where the laptop sits.)

A: I can’t, I... (pause)...does it..what is it for...???

B: (Zoom bedroom only, softly moaning on floor out of the shot) “Uhh.....uhhh...uhhhhhhhh.”

(A very loud crashing sound from “A’s” side interrupts the moaning.)

A: (from offscreen) Don’t look at me!

(“B” pops up into their Zoom bedroom shot, they start with their back turned to their device camera.)

B: (yells, no one is actually muted) You’re muted!!

A: (from offscreen) Turn it off, turn it off, no I’m not, no I’m not!!

(“B’s” next line overlapping with above, turning towards their screen, quickly bringing their head too close to the camera)

B:You’re, you’re…uh..

(“B” leaves the meeting)

(Location camera shows just the laptop with just the one zoom box showing the empty bedroom.)
