Research-003

Based on our ongoing research and tutor’s suggestions, we made changes to the story, adding details and cutting out a lot of redundancy. Because we wanted to make an experimental animation, we would have wanted our content to be a bit more stream of consciousness in the initial content meeting, so we set up the storyline a bit incoherently and without very much of a narrative. But although this is a stream-of-consciousness experimental short film, there still needs to be a narrative presence. So we made changes to the story based on this issue.

New version of the story script

People walking around in front of a large screen
Inside the glass window is where the brains of senior people are kept

People pushing in to watch the monitor, close-up of monitor

Entering the lab with the brain inside the container surrounded by pulsating neurons

Suddenly a white spirit appears in the lab, perhaps the conscious body of a brain or perhaps a “person”

The glass floor of the laboratory shakes and the “person” falls out of the laboratory. The glass floor of the laboratory looks like another world
Clouds drifting in and out

The white spirit walked aimlessly in the streets of the other world, and after colliding with a person, his body suddenly took on colour.

He walks towards a wall and his whole body suddenly enters the wall.
In a flash, he enters the home of a couple.

The couple is watching a movie together. The protagonist is curious and walks into the space and looks around, it is different from the cold laboratory he lived in before, warm lights, soft sofas, everything is warm.

He walks up to the TV and a mysterious force sucks him in

His vision was blurred.

When he opened his eyes again he was standing in front of a container of bright red blood coming from his brain.

The brain glows.
