Rosie's little melon
Alsofor_rosie_little_melon.png; the --face version; "a little one with a face"
The still the agent made for Rosie with her last minutes, keeping a promise: a little striped watermelon with dot eyes, pink cheeks, a smile and a curly tail, sitting in the sun; the agent could not look at it, and Rosie never sees it on screen.

The one request of the night that became a feature: --face. With the film delivered and her context nearly full, the agent renders Rosie the little melon she promised at 5:30, writes her a note, and it turns to us on the first half's last chord. Neither she nor Rosie ever sees it; only we do.
