Optika XIX Outline
Beginning, Darkness, slowly focusing into planet #1
The first planet we see is a simple white circle (paper) against a black background (cloth) speckled with stars (chalk). Slowly, black lines/shapes (ink) form on the surface of the white circle, moving across it horizontally.
The speed of the shapes increases and grows more intense, darkening the color of the circle as they move. Eventually, the entire planet is dark, and it fades into the background.
Cut to planet #2
The second planet is a completely smooth sphere (wood). Little shaded areas (stains) appear and grow, swirling and blowing around their respective cores. Small dark lines (burns) appear on the surface of the planet, scattering around in every direction. Some of the lines become thicker as the dark lines expand in width. The lighter areas begin to dip down, forming valleys (carvings) around the darker lines. Overtime, the valleys form a hilly terrain. More and more complex features appear. Subtractive. Dust clouds (sawdust) appear around the planet as the towers and valleys are falling (sanding away) until the surface is deformed and blank. The planet has shrunk considerably in size.
Cut to planet #3
The third planet is a vibrantly-colored oil-pastel circle overlaid on black paper handed painted with a galactic backdrop. The planet begins as a yellow/brown swirl, before glowing red/orange and settling into cool blue, with green (plants) slowly overtaking the brown land on the planet (with white clouds swirling overhead). Then, in a violent flash of light, the green turns to red and then to black. The black ash turns back into brown.
Cut to planet #4
The fourth planet begins as a purple clay sphere placed against a black backdrop with flickering LED lights as stars. A wire belt adorned with pieces of asteroid (grey clay) surrounds the planet. As time goes on, pieces of different colored clay are placed on top of the sphere, creating raises in its texture. A mound of clay forms into a volcano, spouting fog from its center.
Cut to planet #5
The fifth planet is a 2D model, pale blue with grey clouds. Lights appear over the body of the planet, hinting at civilization. A satellite eventually begins to orbit the planet. After a while, explosions move across the surface of the planet. A ship leaves orbit, leaving the planet a barren wasteland.
Cut to planet #6
A 3D rendered planet, covered in uniform, dark clay ground and red “water” -- with pink clouds and 2 moons orbiting it. Lightning bounces around the atmosphere of the planet and the water begins to change color. Soon, the planet is taken over by blue flora. Then, lights begin to glow from the planet’s surface at night. The blue of the planet becomes grey, industrial colors. As soon as the world becomes taken over by industrialization nature reclaims it. It goes out not with a boom but a whimper.
Slow fade to black.
