Interconnected -- 2

Below is a written description of the basic concept that we are trying to achieve along with stock image references. The theme is interconnectedness. Please do not be limited by the written description or the image references. We are looking for creative, out of the box ways of expressing the same concept, whether that be traditional 3D or 2D CG animation, experimental animation, stop-motion, mixed media, and/or hand drawn animation. We can rewrite the concept in a collaborative way based on what can be accomplished within our completion time and budget. Description (potential animation sequences are highlighted): A sunrise aerial view of Marco’s vineyard, slow, peaceful, idyllic. Speed-ramp to the ground level of the farm, sweeping through the rows of grapes at the peak of harvest time. Find workers harvesting grapes. Speed-ramped Movi shot from worker to worker with a musical-like, rhythmic quality that coincides with the movements of their labor, find Marco and Daphne walking down the rows of grapes together, the camera pulls back and dives into the soil into deeper and deeper micro environments until it becomes atoms. Then zoom out to show the interconnectivity sequence. The atoms forming matter, matter forming DNA, DNA becoming microbes, trillions of microbes in the soil, forming nutrients, worms, insects, and water, water and nutrients being absorbed by the roots of a plant and traveling up the stem to a vegetable, the vegetable being picked by a farmer who brings it to a dinner table where it is eaten and swallowed, follow the food down into the stomach where it is met by trillions of microbes, they interact with each other, digest the food, and send chemicals to the trillions of networks of neurons in the brain which are activated as brainwaves, then out through the iris of the human eye, which is looking at a computer screen searching the internet, traveling through the ethernet cable and out into an aerial view of a bustling big city (like NYC), then zoom out into a global network of connected computers at large, to an aerial view of the earth with networks of lights from cities, keep zooming out of the earth until it forms the solar system, the milky way galaxy, and massive networks of galaxies. Now overlay these images and show that they all look stunningly similar to each other and are connected. Networks of microbes look like networks of the roots underground, look like networks of neurons of the brain, looks like the networks of fibers in the iris of the human eye, look like networks of computers connected through the internet look like networks of galaxies in the universe. Go back into the gases exploding from the sun, which shines on a far off planet earth. (Animation or stock footage?) Cut to a sunrise at Haleakala mountains in Hawaii. ***Bidders must see visual references provided in the document attached, and must provide sample of works that reflect the needed visual style and grade. If samples of works are not provided, the proposal will not be considered.
