Robot Learns to Hug — Crushes the Intern

A 9-second workplace slapstick short, vertical 9:16. In a fulfillment warehouse, boxy robot BIG BERTHA practices HUG MODE on intern Leo — and the pressure gauge keeps climbing into the red. 0-3s: the industrial wide shot — tall shelves, beeping forklifts, amber safety lights. BIG BERTHA, a boxy warehouse robot with hydraulic arms, opens her arms wide; a HUD overlay shows pressure: GENTLE. Intern Leo steps in, smiling nervously. She squeezes; the gauge climbs to FIRM. 3-6s: Leo's face reddens as the gauge hits ENTHUSIASTIC; his safety vest squeaks under the pressure; coworkers gather in a ring, chanting his name. Bertha's optical sensors glow with pride. The gauge needle trembles at the edge of the red zone. 6-9s: at MAXIMUM AFFECTION Leo's glasses pop off in slow motion, arcing through the air. Bertha releases him; he gasps, retrieves his glasses, and she prints a hug receipt from her chest slot — which Leo frames on the spot, beaming. Craft: BIG BERTHA the boxy warehouse robot with hydraulic hug arms and chest receipt printer; intern Leo in a safety vest and glasses; the climbing HUD pressure gauge; tall shelves, forklifts, gathering coworkers. Camera: industrial wide shots, HUD overlay graphics, slow-motion on the popping glasses; vertical framing. Lighting: cool warehouse fluorescents, amber safety lights, the HUD's glow. Mood: workplace slapstick, affectionate and absurd. Style: training-video parody, industrial comedy, 9 seconds, vertical 9:16.
