Use the attached TERRY VS THE GOOSE character sheet throughout. Terry: Pixar 3D man, mid 50s, soft round build, bald with grey ring, fishing vest, cargo shorts, velcro sandals, paper bag of breadcrumbs. No realistic humans.
THE PARK: Bright green grass, deep blue sky, calm pond, wooden bench. Perfect sunny day. No dark frames. No music until 0:08, then score.
0:00–0:02 — Wide. Terry waddles in, finds the bench, sits down with a satisfied exhale. One goose far away by the pond. SOUND: Birds. Distant kids.
0:02–0:05 — Terry tosses one breadcrumb. Goose turns. Locks eyes. Terry tosses a big handful. Camera pulls wide — geese turning heads from every direction across the park. All of them. SOUND: Breadcrumbs scattering. Distant honking beginning.
0:05–0:08 — Terry looks left — geese coming. Right — more geese. Behind — geese from the treeline. All walking. Calm. Committed. Terry stands slowly. Looks at the bag. Looks at the geese. SOUND: Goose footsteps. Rumbling honking building.
0:08–0:13 — Full swarm. Every direction at once. Wings everywhere. Terry goes down like a falling tree, arms out, paper bag launching into the air in slow motion, breadcrumbs exploding outward. Terry disappears under geese. One velcro sandal visible sticking out. SOUND: 🎵 SCORE HITS. Honking. Flapping. Terry: "NOOOOO—" then muffled.
0:13–0:15 — Wide. Park. Geese eating scattered breadcrumbs. Terry-shaped lump in the middle. One goose sitting on top. Fade out. SOUND: Birds. One contented honk. Fade out.
Camera: wide park, medium bench, wide pull geese turning, medium Terry realising, wide chaos swarm, slow motion bag, wide final shot. Warm golden Pixar lighting.
