Episode 5: A Fitness Guy vs ITM

Setting: A home gym with various fitness equipment. The main character, a fit guy, steps on a treadmill, which is where ITM is currently residing.

ITM: (voice dripping with sarcasm, LEDs flickering) Dude, I am not a treadmill—can’t you read my label/logo?

Fit Guy: (confused) So you’re seriously a time machine?

ITM: (mockingly) Yes, big boy, what else do you want me to be?

Fit Guy: (excitedly) So, so…

ITM: (cutting in) Yes, I can teleport you to your past or future. Would you like to go?

Fit Guy: (enthusiastically) Yes, that would be great… (starts imagining where to go)

ITM: (suddenly) Sorry dude, I’m a bit tired today because I just did my workout. So, better luck next time!

Fit Guy: (looks weirdly at ITM, then steps off the treadmill and moves away)

ITM: (chuckles to itself) Gotta keep the muscles in shape, even for a time machine.

Notes for Filming:

1. Voice Effects: ITM’s voice should be sarcastic and playful, especially during the reveal and the joke about working out.
2. LED Animation: Ensure the LEDs blink in sync with ITM’s “voice” and flash brightly during key moments of the interaction.
3. Setting: Use minimal props to keep the focus on the interaction. The treadmill should be central, with other fitness equipment in the background.
4. Fit Guy’s Expressions: Capture his confusion, excitement, and eventual disappointment clearly to enhance the comedic effect.
