EXT. CITY - NIGHT · scene one, as a first test
9 TO 5
EXT. CITY - NIGHT
Neon lights reflect on wet asphalt. A futuristic Ferrari waits at a traffic signal. The engine hums, low, controlled.
From the sidewalk, a tired man shouts.
GUY
Tell me… what do you do for a living?
The Ferrari window slides down. Inside sits a RICH MAN. Calm. Unrushed.
RICH MAN
What do I do for a living?
RICH MAN
I breathe for a living.
I live for a living.
I am free.
It's you on both sides of the window
You said the character is you, with little variations. So the rich man and the 9 to 5 guy are the same face here, built from your own photos.
This test has no talking yet, because the voice should be yours.
Next step: record 10 seconds on your phone saying "I breathe for a living", with your real gestures. Your own mouth and your own voice go into the car, so the lip sync is real.
