[Frameworks] examples of "first encounters"

[jimmyschaus1]

I'm a filmmaker working on a scene of this nature, and (among many other

I've found this to be a good resource...it can yield surprises...such as
your inclusion of non-human animal (and mechanical) interaction in *Au
Hasard Balthazar *and *Mothlight.*
