Imagery for music video
- Intro
- From the Living Worlds Productions logo, pan downward to follow an arm of the galaxy (like on the front page of the wiki)
- Earth comes into view, on the night side, with the eastern edge at the top
- Sunrise, white out the screen and fade to the SolSeed logo, then add a subtitle, maybe "Reach for the Stars"
- Personal verse
- Much closer view of Earth from orbit with the sun just barely risen
- Pan down through a cloud layer to a gloomy-looking city
- Some kind of transition to a cubicle farm inside a skyscraper, with a generic office drone guy in a cubicle working on spreadsheets and stuff
- Spreadsheets reflected in the guy's eye
- Some exciting transition starting in the guy's chest area
- The guy standing in an abstract sky-blue space, with his feet forming roots connecting to parents, grandparents, etc
- Zooming out, this family tree forms a stick-figure person with uplifted arms, which stands on a branch of a much larger Tree of Life with other animals in it
- Can we get Molly Brown to help with this?
- 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
