[ANIMATION 3026]
NEGOTIATED - STUDY
After creating the soundtrack by meshing together tracks by smiletron (used with copyright permission) with ambient soundtracks I realized that the story needed changing a little. Whilst keeping the theme I adapted the story.
A man follows in the footsteps of himself, reliving the last few moments of his life, as he follows two children, one being a representative of his younger self. As they follows a treasure map into the cave similar to the original story. In the cave they witness the fight and the egg being mistaken for the treasure the map leads to. The protagonists representative character runs out to grab the egg followed by his friend but in the conflict a hunter notices and captures the one character and wounds the protagonists representative, who escapes the cave with the egg. AS he escapes into the forest exhausted he lays against a tree at sunrise before passing away, the protagonist standing over his child self before the cycle resetting. Somewhere in space an explorer enters a tropical rain-forest following a map his granddad gave him.
Visiting by train in the rainy night he stumbles through exotic fauna to a cliff face upon where he enters a cave filled with crystals. Exploring the cave he comes upon a cavern where a fight between a winged monster and hunters is undergoing, sneaking in at the aftermath as the winged beast is beaten and wounded, falling near the explorers hiding place it sees him and whilst the hunters celebrate reveals a small crystal egg in his arms and gives it to the explorer looking at him with empathetic eyes. As he takes it from the creature a hunter notices and yells. Startling the explorer and causing him to run as they follow him. Out into the rain and down wet muddy embankments the rain gets heavier. Stopping for a moment in a small outcrop to work out his route he gets shot in the shoulder spinning to the ground as he realizes the crystal is an egg. As he fades away the camera pans from up from the explorer to the hunter picking the egg up to the sky as a silhouette of a creature comes closer and fades to black.
