*** Pan up from the tree to see a bird rising, then morphing into a spaceship as the sky fades to starry space * Chorus ** Cutaway showing a seed underground with a small sprout coming out ** Zoom out and pan up to the surface, with small buildings in the background and the sun shining above *** Possibly have the sun briefly turn into the galaxy ** Pan back down to show roots growing down and outward from the seed, intertwining with other roots growing from other seeds ** Pan up and to the right, with roots at the bottom of the frame and a growing city filling the rest *** We pass an industrial plant whose smoke blots out the sky as it expands to the right **** Possibly turn it into stormclouds with lightning bolts *** We come to a shoreline with buildings standing in the water beyond, their upper stories burning ** Meanwhile, the seeds have been forming increasingly large sprouts above the ground, and some braided vines suddenly leap out from the shore to form a bridge across the ocean *** As we follow the bridge and leave the burning city behind, the smoke/stormclouds clear and the sun comes out again *** We reach another shore where the vine joins the greenery in an ecotopian city ** Possibly pan up through a thin cloud layer to see Earth from orbit, then follow the path of the Milky Way arm up to where it joins the galactic spiral * Community and ecology verse (may become two verses again) ** Transition "back to the present," possibly by zooming out from the generic guy's eye ** The Sanders house ** People sitting around a fire ** People dancing around a fire, holding hands, perhaps with others playing instruments nearby ** People hiking up a steep trail, possibly holding hands ** A footprint in the trail morphs into a huge strip mine ** Brief images of huge solar and wind farms ** Brief images of forest fires, floods, desiccated land ** The Tree of Life with some animation to show humanity "reconnecting" *** Maybe show a vertical scale of eons *** Maybe zoom out to show the tree growing out of an image of the early solar system ** A yin-yang island with farms filling one half, a greenery-covered mountain forming the dot in that half, and the other half being a forest with an ecotopian city forming the dot * Second chorus: same as the first * Space verse ** Various types of seed ship (e.g. maple seed with solar panels forming the wing, bird-shaped ship with a dome on its back) ** A hollowed-out asteroid filling with life ** More seed ships flying outward from Earth, trailing stylized vines like engine exhaust *** A ship descends to Mars, shrinking out of sight but with the vine remaining in view *** Mars becomes terraformed and possibly grows stylized flower petals around it (becoming a flower on the vine) ** Alien seed ships of various sizes and colors (e.g. turquoise water-filled ship, red-orange ship of gas-giant floaters), trailing vines of matching colors ** Many-colored vines growing out across the galaxy, turning stars into flowers == Evaluation == * Brandon ... as always, I really like working on things on the work bee ... I did a bit of work on ShinyCred as well as SolSeed stuff * Ben ... I enjoyed getting these ideas out for the video, and yeah ... it's more fun than adding tasks to the OnePagePlan about how we should be semi-survivalists
