Film storyboard sheet, clean layout on off-white paper. Title: "THE SOCK THIEF". Header: "15 SEC · 8 SHOTS · PRISON BREAK · CLAY · CHAOS". 4x2 grid of 8 numbered panels, all Aardman-style CLAYMATION — fingerprints, matte plasticine, lumpy shapes. Every panel in motion. Caption + "1.9s" stamp on each:
1. THE SLAM — through the dryer door glass: a clay striped sock with wild eyes slams its fists on the glass from inside, screaming, chaos tumbling behind.
2. THE STORM — inside the drum: it tumbles through a tornado of spinning clothes, heat vents glowing orange.
3. THE DODGE — a sneaker hurtles at camera, the sock ducks flat, motion blur.
4. THE SWING — it grabs a whipping shoelace and swings across the drum, legs kicking.
5. THE MONSTER — a mass of tangled lint and lost socks reforms into a snarling creature with grasping fabric arms.
6. THE GRAB — it catches the sock mid-leap by the ankle, sock stretching like taffy.
7. THE TEAR — the sock rips free, leaving a thread behind, diving toward the door light.
8. THE INNOCENT — hard cut, calm: a clay woman holds up one lonely sock, confused. Behind her, the dryer smiles.
STYLE: glowing orange vents, harsh shadows, lint in the air, macro shallow focus, high contrast.
NOTES: action prison-break, not cute. Panel 1 must stop the scroll — open at max intensity.
