The Narrative

The story starts at a screen of a computer; the computer is on YouTube and is buffering a video of New York City. As the video is about to start the camera zooms into the computer screen and travels through a tunnel of code and when it reaches the end of the tunnel the viewer sees the video footage of New York City. The footage may look real but it is just a virtual environment that mimics the real New York City, as the footage continues it will reach a scene where a car will drive past the screen from right to left and the camera will slowly zoom into the driver window and get a close up of the drivers head. A sudden flash and camera shake will happen and the drivers head will be replaced with a virtual head and will slowly6 fade back to its original form. The camera will then show more scenes of New York City and within each scene there will be real footage objects being replaced with virtual objects until finally the camera focuses on a building where the scene will freeze and a virtual spider will crawl down the face of the building, this spider is a character that represents architectural machine. The virtual spider is seen traveling through the city blending in with the background, until it reaches a void space high up between two buildings, the camera then slowly zooms out and the spider transforms into a piece of architecture that blends into the scene adapting to its environment, it transforms into many forms trying to adapt to the two buildings but eventually fails and drops down to the city streets. As it lands onto the street the transformed object again transforms into a sphere rolling along the street, traveling through the city till it finds another space. The sphere then finds vacant land between two buildings and slowly morphs into a cube, the cube then multiplies and positions itself till it forms the shape of a house. The house then finalizes its form and the camera slowly zooms into the window and as you see what is inside the window the camera focuses on the computer which is the same computer as the opening scene ending the story with the way it was begun.
