Commision - Initial Idea

Having one single camera movement for the duration of the animation, slowing down at certain key stages of - Cell Division - Shortening Telomeres - DNA bases breaking and dieing.

 -

With the use of Motion tracked 2d text (in 3d space) to describe what is happening. Much like futuristic information Holograms - or like in the opening sequence of 2003 film Spider-man, however not as complex.

 

Begin with a table and a pair of shoes with laces hanging down as the camera pans towards the end of the shoelaces (in this case playing the role of the Telomeres) 
-
The camera then zooms through the end of the lace into the inside where it shows a network of DNA strands and bases
 -
As the Camera weaves in and out it stops and zooms out of the cell to see it duplicate, and then the pan back into the new divided cell.
-
In this cell there is substantially less DNA bases, supporting the strands as they begin to break up, due to the cell division, and the shortening of the Telomeres
-
The Camera pans slowly back weaving in and out of the DNA strands withing the cell back to remainder of the Telomeres as they are about to die
-
Camera glides backwards out of the shoe lace ending with the words 
(Telomeres - Tying up the loose ends of Life)


The information will be given as stated above in text motion tracked to the key areas of camera focus.


Art Style

Light shades of Grey and whites for the majority of the DNA strands and vibrant colours for the DNA bases -
