Porcelina of the Vast Oceans

by Melissa_A_Cunningham@rockdal.aud.alcatel.com

Intro:Camera view is underwater, moving upstream. The water is clear, 
and you can see the broken images of weeping willows above you...This 
is in a totally uncivilized area. Think fantasy. It's
mid-morning..Springtime..Flower petals floating on the 
breeze...Nothing you pass by takes notice of you, really...fish and so 
forth.. but the camera never focuses on one thing, it's just going 
along. The rocks below you are smooth and white, if you want to get 
into that much detail...A school of silvery fish go above the camera, 
and the view sweeps upward, through the fish, and breaks the surface, 
where, for about a nanosecond, you see where everyone would live if 
they won the lottery. It's really beautiful. (All action is a little 
slower than real time..Dream-like)
Loud Part:Into the nasty, dirty, polluted, crime-ridden city. The 
camera view is in the sky at first, but then sweeps down to happen to 
see a teenage couple climb into a truck, and start to speed off to 
nowhere really. Completely ignoring the road, for that matter. They 
just want to get out of the city..Their demeanor is very lively, 
etc..They're barefoot. I don't know why, but they are. The camera 
looks after them as they go..(All of the movements of the camera are a 
little, uh, delayed. You know what I'm talking about, right? It swings 
instead of, um, jerks...Whatever.)
Quiet Again(descriptive, eh?):Back to the fantasy place. Baby birds.. 
butterflies everywhere. Colors are vibrant, but soft. Dew covers 
everything. Grass is green. Breeze slightly blows the willow branches. 
Specks of light dance dance on the water's surface, and light pink 
petals float down the stream..As the camera moves more into the 
forest, you oh-so-nonchalantly pass through a group of three pixies, 
who seem to be skipping lightly about with their arms raised to the 
sky. They're wearing pastel colored shirts and flowing skirts, their 
ears are traditionally pointed, they have wings, and their faces glow. 
I'm not talking phosphorous, or flash-light glow. Just natural, with 
sparkles around their eyes..They notice your presence and smile as you 
pass by (I'm saying you in terms of the view of the camera..if you 
hadn't figured that out. Don't wanna insult anyone's intelligence or 
anything)  You disturb a flock of resting doves and they take wing, 
into the sky..You seem to be travelling uphill. A dove that you had 
previously startled flits easily downwards again, and rests on the 
staff of a young elvish boy, who appeared out of nowhere from within 
the trees. He's wearing all brown, with leather boots, and a green 
cap, from under which blonde hair curls rather haphazardly. He nods at 
you, takes the dove in his hand, and throws it into the air again. It 
flies off, and you follow it, slightly changing directions, but still 
headed uphill. In front of you, you can see a clearing, and a bright 
blue sky beyond. Deer are grazing there, and they turn toward you 
before trotting off the other way..You cross the path of a 
floppy-eared, white rabbit right before you get out of the woods, and 
s/he sits up on its hind legs and glances at you, and then 
sneezes..must be from all the dandelions. Finally, you break through 
the trees, and into the clearing, where the dove swoops away, and 
you're left on a cliff overlooking the stream you were in before. 
Everything's very calm. Clouds are rolling by in elapsed time, I think 
it's called.
Loud:The teens are driving extremely fast in their truck, and the 
camera follows them into the edge of a forest that looks slightly 
familiar..Time goes with them, and on their way, the sun moves across 
the blue, to an afternoon position..They're singing to music and 
having a good time..
Quiet:Hey, what do you know, it's afternoon here now, too.  Somehow 
you're at the bottom of the cliff again, looking to the right..you're 
staying in one place for once, but from the point of view, you must be 
in the middle of the stream (above water).....you're kind of in a 
valley, you know. Cliff, stream, and then a hill's on the other 
side.....The valley twists a little, so your vision through it is kind 
of limited, but you make out something white moving. It's fuzzy, or 
soft, and far away, so you're not sure as to what it is exactly. 
Looking down, swans float by you. Clouds are still rolling. A turtle 
is sitting on a branch sticking out of the water to the side of you. A 
butterfly lands on its nose.. Suddenly you are aware of splashing to 
your right, and two unicorns gallop down toward you, in slow motion, 
engaged in a mock-fight/game of tag. Snorting, they slow, and drink 
from the stream. Mud encrusts their hooves, and their tails nearly 
sweep the ground. You can see the steam rising off the water below 
their noses. You notice that the turtle slides off the branch and into 
the water again..The unicorns look up simultaneously, as if they heard 
something that has startled them....
Loud: Teens are driving recklessly through a forest, uphill, barely 
sqeezing through trees. The camera is ahead of the truck, watching it 
coming, moving back at the same speed. All around the camera, animals 
flee, the pixies run into the underbrush, the elven boy moves back 
into the trees, and the doves, once again, take to the air. The car is 
coming in real time, but all the commotion is happening slowly. You 
can see the astonished, bewildered, and petrified faces of the 
creatures who are trying to get away....The truck skids to a stop in 
the middle of the previously-visited clearing, and the couple jumps 
out, and, with a running start, dives over the edge of the cliff. The 
camera follows them, and they cannonball into the creek. The unicorns 
are visible amongst the willows, but the teens don't notice 
them...They're splashing around, but then they mellow out, gazing into 
each other eyes. A romantic moment..
Quieter: The turtle surfaces near them, and a butterfly lands on the 
girl's shoulder. They notice that doves have alighted all around them, 
and the swans are back...As they're looking around, the unicorns wade 
slowly into the water..The teens, dripping, move slowly toward them. 
The smaller of the unicorns sniffs the girl's outstretched hand...The 
camera fades into an overlooking, bird's eye view of the whole scene, 
and below, in slow motion, you can see the couple galloping away on 
the unicorns.
