New beats yet again

In changing my focus, I've also essentially had to cut out as many shots as possible. Shots I am intent on keeping:

-Billy looks at the dragon picture and smiles
-Camera pulls out to reveal well in an establishing shot
-Dragon comes out of the well shot
-Billy and dragon are in the same frame, audience realizes dragon is small
-Billy's face is huge and changes from surprise to a smile

I don't really need most of the beginning stuff with the multiple ingredients; Boaz suggested I make it only one ingredient, sort of like sea monkeys. I don't really need the embryo shot, it kind of gives away the punchline anyway. The shots that are currently on the fence:

-Billy gets frustrated when the first drop doesn't work
-Billy pounds the well and the whole vial falls in
-Billy gets a scared face ("what have I done?")

-Billy sees the picture of the dragon a second time and gets disappointed
-Dragon sees what Billy sees
-Dragon breathes fire and destroys the manual
-Billy gets a mischievous face, which the dragon mimics

So, the entire piece, hopefully one of the last version of my beats:


-Camera fades up from black on the manual. The title of the manual is the title of my piece
-Billy (his hand) opens the manual to the first page, which shows the dragon picture. Opposite is the thank you for buying the PRO-QUEST Instant Dragon kit! message
-Camera shows Billy in medium close up, smiling warmly at the dragon
-Camera shows the manual again, and Billy turns the page. Step 1, find the well.
-Camera shows Billy, and pulls out to show the well environment
-Billy turns the next page, which asks him to add the ingredient, but, warning, only a few drops. The light flickers, and Billy looks up
-The light is shown flickering
-Billy adds a few drops to the well

-(optional) Only a slight ripple and glow, but otherwise nothing happens
-(optional) Billy gets pissed and adds more drops
-(optional) Larger ripple and glow, but nothing else happens
-(optional) Billy gets really frustrated and pounds the side of the well
-(optional) The whole vial falls into the well
-(optional) Billy gets a scared face

-The light goes out

-(optional) Camera shows the vial sinking, and liquid coming out
-(optional) Camera pushes in on dragon shape forming

-The well is glowing and bubbling furiously
-Billy watches, kind of scared
-A dragon bursts out of the well, filling the frame, camera has a fisheye lens, low shot. Dragon is roaring, perhaps breathing licks of flame
-Billy looks on in wonder, the dragon reflecting in his eyes
-The dragon is shown again, but this time still. The light clicks back on
-Billy and the dragon are shown in the same frame, the audience realizes the dragon is small
-The dragon lands on the well, and Billy's face is huge in frame. Billy's face goes from surprise to a smile
-Billy pulls the dragon up on his shoulder

-(optional) Billy sees the last picture in the manual
-(optional) It says, enjoy your new mighty dragon!
-(optional) Billy sighs
-(optional) Side shot, the dragon looks down to see what is making Billy so upset
-(optional) Close up of the dragon, gets an angry face
-(optional) Dragon burns the manual
-(optional) Billy's face of surprise melts into one of mischief, dragon mimics it

Maximum amount of work: 32 shots
Minimum amount of work: 17 shots

Does this mean I have to do yet another 2D animatic?
