Soft stage lights illuminate Max Gilardi, who sits nervously on a convention panel. Clad in a casual hoodie and jeans, he grips a microphone with both hands, offering an awkward half-smile to the audience. Behind him, a banner reads 'Animation Q&A.' The crowd remains in silhouette, attentive. The scene feels like a humorous cartoon moment. Max clears his throat, lifts the mic, and mutters, 'Uh… yeah, so animation is mostly just suffering, actually.' The audience laughs as he smiles under the lights.
