Elephants Dream (VFX research 2)


Elephants Dream follows two characters, Emo and Proog a they explore the seemingly unending machines. the old Guy Proog is trying to convince the Emo that this Machine would is a wonderful beautiful but dangerous place,but Emo just cant see what Proog sees. as they keep walking deeper into the machinery. as they are in a lift thats suspended in mid-air, Proog asked Emo what he sees to his left and right but Emo sees nothing


Later on they are in a small room as we see Proog placing some final tiles. Proog questions Emo why he cant see how perfect this would i,, to this Emo replays with "why should i trust my life to something that isn't there"


As Emo tryes to ecape from Proog by walking away from him, but as Emo  walks towards a wall it starts to move away from him making the room longer. until Proog tells Emo "its a trap"

To this Emo mocks Proog by stating "to the left we see.um..hanging gardens of babylon" and no sooner had he said this the room starts to fall apart revelling an organic type electrical vines that take over and pull apart the room. as the vines grow along the surface.


what we now see is the true machines of this would, and as the room fully falls apart Emo states..again mocking Proogs Question about sight "on the right side you can see...look at what!!, the colossus of rhodes,.: this statement makes the room fully falls apart till they are surrounded by the electrical vines.





finally Emo adds "the colossus of rhodes and it is here just for you Proog, Just for you!" this.. this causes a huge electrical hand to forms. as it tries to grab Proog, proog douges it, grabs his walking stick and knocks Emo out, ..since this nightmare has been created from Emos mind, as soon as he's knocked out, the vines fall and die



i intend to use this in my FVX, but rather then it being electrical, it will be natural, but would behave in a similar manner. growing uncontrollably and maybe near the end of the 1 minute VFX the vines might form some kind of shapes?..
