PROMPT:
16:9 animated short in retro 8-bit pixel-art arcade style, side view, with a chiptune sound for every movement.
SETTING: A law office late on a Friday afternoon. Beige walls, cherry-wood trim and door, an interior glass window with blinds, striped brown-grey carpet, recessed ceiling lights, framed colorful
art.
Desks: a reception desk with cherry drawers beside the glass window; a printer counter by the door; a cubicle desk with dual monitors, a wall calendar and a white mesh chair directly across
from reception; a grey drawer unit; a neighbouring cubicle desk; white filing cabinets with binders on top.
CHARACTERS:
- Paralegal: young woman, long straight black hair, light-brown
skin, grey blazer suit, black heels. Focused, not stressed.
- Receptionist: blonde, big square black glasses, teal blouse,
seated at the desk by the glass window, typing.
- Owner: older man, short white mullet, bright blue power suit, red tie.
- Coworker who thinks she’s in charge: woman, dark bob, beige-and-black dress, angry eyebrows, stomping walk.
STORY:
1. The paralegal runs around the office carrying binders for about four seconds, heels clicking.
2. The mean coworker enters, snaps at her (angry symbol speech bubble), and walks away.
3. The paralegal grabs binders from the filing cabinet and loose papers fall to the floor.
4. She sets the binders by her desk and runs back to pick up the papers.
5. The owner walks in, pauses to watch her, then walks past and leaves. They never collide.
6. She sits at her desk, puts the papers in order while a "FILES SORTED" counter goes 0/5 to 5/5, types on her monitors, then leans back relieved with a "phew".
7. The mean coworker walks past once more near the end.
HUD: "FILES SORTED n/5" top left, a clock top right, and an "ALL FILES IN ORDER!" banner when she finishes.
@MaxJunestrand what interests me: Obermayer's line. Legora streamlines the workflows, but it doesn't replace the judgment, the team worked on site, exploring Obermayer's use cases, to bring the firm's collective knowledge to each matter. it’s adaptation work, not a demo.
a partner walked in and said “i don’t get why you’re making it complicated, let’s send them out like this” and the manager said no. had to redo them all and send them out.
the first time i realized corporate world was made up with rules was when i was 18 interning at a mid size law firm and they had me creating 40 settlement sheets for clients & after i came in early to finish them the manager looked at me and said i was missing the proper formatting although the numbers were correct.
there’s a stigma around using AI in law firms, especially with the older partners.. little do they know the results with AI largely depend on how smart the user is.
