David and I made a collaboration video where we wanted to show a linear timeline of the evolution mankind. We wanted to show an aspect of man being evil, and subsequently man leading to the demise of man. We see things change over time, going from life being simple to life being more complex. With the Idea of Moore’s Law, things grow exponentially to a point where it’s out of control; the planet can’t sustain this grow and explodes. It’s leaner through time, starting at the ocean, life began at the ocean. It has four frames that are all lined up together to give a relaxing feeling. It then goes to the birth of man, and we see man fighting, this shows the beginning of the destruction. It then leads to the decay of the pyramids; this signifies the passing of great civilizations. We then see the Empire State Building raising before the native peoples of the lands. This signifies the loss of the lands and the introduction of industrial setting and the attacks on nature. The next scene we see a construction site where a portion of the city is being built on top of itself, this is to give you the idea of space running out. Where do you build when you can only build on top of something that’s already urbanized? We then see what appears to be a confused bird, this is supposed to be the downward spiral of man. It’s nature trying to coexist with urbanization. It then speeds ahead to the planet exploding, man is destroyed.
