not a robot

A captcha motion piece with a sense of humour. A person stands in a cardboard robot suit above a white captcha card and has to prove they're human, and every check they pass takes a piece of the suit off. A demo cursor clicks "I'm not a robot": the box spins, ticks green, and the spring antenna pops off. It picks the three cats out of six picture tiles and hits Verify: the silver duct-tube arms fly off. It drags a slider to fit a puzzle piece into a little landscape: the boot boxes slide away. It types the distorted word "human": the chest box with its pulse screen and buttons falls. It presses and holds a button that fills to 100%: the head box is lifted off on a high arc, a bearded face with a ponytail appears, and the person waves. A five-segment meter on the card runs from red to green, from "Robot · 5 checks left" to "Human · verified", the lilac backdrop warms into a sunset with slow turning rays, and the card says "Welcome, human." Then the suit jumps back on piece by piece and the loop starts again. Every piece jiggles before it goes, flies on an arc, bounces and leaves a puff of dust. The captcha's mark, shrugCHECK, is invented. No images: a flat, angular cartoon in inline SVG polygons with soft gradients, product UI in Inter, a 1080 × 1080 stage that scales to fit any window, one render(t) function for every frame and a frame-exact recorder (?rec and window.__render). Reduced motion shows the welcome as a still.
