Scarab - Prologue

PROLOGUE.
To be filmed in green room studio, then edited
and combined with specially made CGI for 3D projections.

A preliminary draft.
To be fully developed by early 2012.

----

A teacher is standing in front of blackboard.

There is a space-time fabric drawn on the board. The fabric is horizontally flat, no curves, with a zero dot marked in the center. The teacher is in thought...

He closes his eyes and points the chalk he is holding to a random spot on the board. After opening eyes, he sees a white dot on the board above the fabric. Then he starts writing a text next to that randomly marked spot:
"I AM..."

But suddenly, something strange happens:
while he is writing the text, another text appears in parallel, below the fabric, which reads: "HERE".

I AM HERE...
appearing at the same time above and below the space-time fabric in diagonal.

The teacher is amazed...

He tries to wipe off "I AM" above, but simultaneously "HERE" below also disappears. Then he tries to wipe off "HERE" below, but another mysterious thing happens:
as soon as he touches the board below the fabric, the board acts suddenly like a liquid mirror, creating ripples all across, while reflecting his face on the board.

Now watching his own reflection, he stretches his hand towards the ripples. But as soon as his fingers touch the board, they disappear, going straight through it.

He pulls back his hand and leans toward the zero dot, to have a closer look:
"Would it be possible to pass through it...?" he thinks. He leans further and further forward, till his nose touches the ripples, and then his full head disappears into the liquid surface on the board.

But as soon as his head disappears into the ripples, his very own head reappears from there, simultaneously coming out from the same place on the board, looking into the same room:

(The audience is on the "other side" of the blackboard. Gradually they will see ripples appearing, then his head coming through the ripples) "Wow, where am I? In the same room? Strange. Is it the same place?... in the future?... or maybe in the past?..." he asks himself, amazed by what is happening, while asking himself at the same time the same question on the other side of the board. (When his head is facing the audience, the projection will make 180 deg turn, to end up in the same position, facing the audience.)

Then he pulls his head back from the mysterious surface that enabled him to take a look below the fabric, while asking himself, totally confused:
"Where is this place?... or was?... Here?... When?... Now?"

Suddenly he gets an idea.
He draws quickly a co-ordinate system above the space-time fabric, and writes some texts on the board, and while doing that, everything he does, appears simultaneously in parallel, below the space-time fabric.

Now, while drawing a co-ordinate system, something above the fabric starts moving, taking a shape - of a snake - which simultaneously emerges also below the fabric, yet is different - while the snake above the fabric reflects light, appearing White, the other one below the fabric does not, appearing Black (see the classic two snakes circular chase image below.)

The teacher takes a step backwards, while watching how the board is gradually turning into a see-through liquid space, where a cosmic battle, a chase scene between the two snakes takes place.

The transition form the "liquid blackboard" to the cosmic scene continues with some special effects and powerful music, till all fades out, ending the prologue.

The video below - a CGI sample, made from Mama Tian Na production, feat. Sa Dingding.
Note the ending - the audience will see the teacher disappearing behind the liquid blackboard.

All this will lead to the first chapter of the Scarab production - Black and White snake - by spoken word and 2D animated story-line, presented on the Part One page.

PART ONE.

In addition.

It has been a real puzzle for scientists - how it is possible that matter and antimatter did not cancel each other out in the moment of Big Bang. Why 96% of the Universe is dark, and can not be measured in terms of mass (of dark matter), but only in terms of time and distance. Why dark matter does not reflect nor absorb light?

The total mass (plus/minus) of the Universe equals to zero. If it would be possible to experience life in Universe without experiencing distances (between objects), and therefore differences between living beings (living organs, characters), but experiencing all at once, then the total mass of the Universe would simply vanish in an instant. But when experiencing life unidirectionally (before-after, ahead-behind, right-wrong etc.), then the Universe appears the way we know it.
The concept is presented here.
