Zombie Job Interview 3D Animated Comedy Sketch

the prompt

Bright, funny stylized 3D animated workplace comedy. 

A lovable zombie in an oversized navy business suit sits across from an extremely upbeat corporate recruiter in a colorful modern office. 
The zombie is trying very hard to appear professional: crooked tie, messy hair, slightly green skin, goofy friendly face, tiny résumé carefully held in both hands. Cute and comedic, never scary.
The recruiter smiles enthusiastically.
RECRUITER: “So! Tell me a little about yourself.”
The zombie proudly straightens his tie.
ZOMBIE: “Hard worker. Team player. Recently deceased.”
The recruiter pauses for half a second, then professionally writes something down.
RECRUITER: “Great! And what would you say is your biggest weakness?”
The zombie thinks seriously.
ZOMBIE: “Communication.”
RECRUITER: “Interesting. Why?”
ZOMBIE: “Mostly… groaning.”
The zombie gives a tiny embarrassed shrug.
The recruiter nods and writes another note.
RECRUITER: “Okay! Where do you see yourself in five years?”
Cut to the zombie.
A very long silence.
His confident smile slowly disappears.
He starts counting five years on his fingers. One finger accidentally falls onto the desk.
Both stare at it.
The zombie quietly picks it up, pushes it back into place, then continues counting.
Another awkward pause.
He slowly looks at the recruiter.
ZOMBIE: “Optimistic question.”
Silence.
The recruiter lowers his pen.
RECRUITER: “…Right.”
The zombie leans forward hopefully.
ZOMBIE: “So… when do I start?”
The recruiter nervously checks the résumé.
RECRUITER: “Do you have any references?”
The zombie smiles proudly.
ZOMBIE: “They’re all dead.”
Beat.
The recruiter slowly closes the folder.
The zombie gives him an enthusiastic thumbs-up.
ZOMBIE: “Is that a yes?”
Strong comedy rhythm with quick conversational cuts and longer pauses before punchlines. Expressive facial animation, subtle eyebrow and eye reactions, awkward recruiter smiles, confident zombie delivery. Use medium two-shots for conversation, close-ups for punchlines and reaction shots, with a slow comedic push-in during the five-year silence.
Colorful polished 3D animated-film aesthetic, warm cheerful office lighting, playful proportions and expressive characters. The zombie is adorable, optimistic and unintentionally funny rather than depressing, disgusting or frightening. Keep dialogue clearly separated between characters with accurate lip sync and consistent voices. Lighthearted, absurd workplace humor from beginning to end.
