An ecletic group of rappers (with whites, blacks, and other; stylistically varied)



That honestly rap about problems in our "modern world", and the things and the actions of people that are "retarded".

Video







Set to Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams"



Rocket attack sirens are heard.  People on the outskirts of a city.


Filming past people




Couples are each sitting close (intimately) together against a wall looking out and up.


They are happy or neutral.


Zoom on one couple- the wife is pleasantly and closely holding the hand of the husband.


The wife makes pleasant observational comments about the view of the city they have.




(The pause of life, the strength of being in the face of threat)

Video, with cgi or maybe just animated.





A naked newborn baby is carried by a parent or parents. on a flesh-colored terrain.


The baby is cradled horizontally to the ground, on it's back, over the arms/hands of the parent/parents.



A very life-like body



The baby grows into a youngster in the same position, and then the child is somehow shown as being carried by more than just


the parent(s)-   uncles, grandparents, aunts.



The youngster grows into a young adult and is somehow shown as being carried by the community.



The person becomes an adult.  Stands up on the hands of the community, and cradles his/her arms.  On his/her arms appears a newborn baby.



The hands of the community become the terrain that the new adult is walking on.





Looped video.

Video, social, art




Title of series  "Being".




A video series of 3 or more videos.  Video 1 is the main one and should be treated as such.  The following videos are just "sequels".



The music of these videos is core and fundamental to the videos.






Video 1:




Happy music.




There are people in beautiful flower costumes (paper with large flower shapes around the heads,


the beauty comes from the design and color on the front of the flowers) on in droves along the side of the track,


but as the person moves about the track, the flowers are turned to the side, and their side-on view is one that makes it look as though


the flowers are blurred, and also the flowers from this side-view are pale- almost bleached of life.





Video starts with flower people dancing.  Then the woman is shown quickly moving about the track.  A woman is shown moving about a track


oval with a drawn face (as in a constant state of strain/focus). 


A 3/4 materialized person is behind the woman, forcing her forward w/ a whip.


The "flowers" are turned to the side. 




The woman slows and stops.


The flowers turn and show their beauty.  The materialized person is yelling (without sound) at the woman to


keep/start running (again).  People- some adults and a couple children, come out from the flowers and dance around the woman.


The woman blinks and looks around.  Soon she anxiously looks back at the whipper and starts to run again.




After a period of time she stops again.  This time she pauses more and walks up to the flowers.  Touches the beautiful designs


on them.  She briefly holds the hands of the people dancing about her, but does not dance. 


All this time the whipper is in consternation.  She eventually looks back at the whipper and starts to run again.




Last time.  She stops again.  She becomes amazed with the beauty of the flowers and laughs exuberantly andsincerely while dancing


a little with the people.  She looks back at the whipper.  She walks back and grapples with the whipper.  She wrestles the whipper


to the ground and the whipper is represented as being dead.  The woman turns back and dances with the people while the flowers dance.



She then goes down the track dancing with the people.  Some flowers have gone onto the track also and are dancing with them.






Video 2




Same start, same environment, different music


This time a man.  Same start.



He stops once.  The first stop happens twice.  He keeps running.  He becomes old while running.  Eventually he collapses. 


One hand flat on the ground.  The turned (bland) flowers in the background.  He dies then turns to dust.





Video 3 and 4



Videos 1 and 2 are done with parents, and their children are with them. 


The children learn from the parents through being with them, and at the end of each video mimic what the parents did.





--------------------------





A generic "classified ad" representing all of humanity.




Looking for parents that will protect me, teach me to be healthy and strong, love me, be interested in what I'm interested in,

and encourage me.




Looking for a family that will help me grow as an individual, that will allow me to contribute my strength to them, and will contribute

its strength to me.  A family that will help me start to realize for myself, a purpose in my life.




Looking for friends that will share their lives with me.  That will share their hopes and fears with me, and will allow me to do the

same with them.  Friends that will share with me, the difficulties in life, as well as the triumphs.  Friends that will love me

regardless.  Friends that I can lovingly give to and that will do the same to me.




Looking for a community that will help me further grow and improve as an individual.  A community that will, again, allow me to

contribute to it in meaningful ways, so my life gains further purpose.  A community that I can meaningfully contribute to, and that

further enrichens my life in meaningful ways.








--------------------------------



Why must we attach?  Why can't we love one-another in the moment; enjoy eachother's company,


and when we must part ways we do so in peace.

Video



A peopley depiction of the spending of the United states (how much is spent on x,y,z)



Crowds, groups of people represent the different "areas" of spending- all within a well-defined area of ground, like a football field.



People in the groups represent different facets, opinions of each area of spending.



Video has a fun feel.




--------------------------------------



Video




A peopley depiction of human groups (businesses, governments), and what is the power behind them-



what causes them to act the way they do.



The groups are represented by people, and the power behind them are people also, all costumed appropriately.



A pleasantly voiced narrative.



A fun background song.




The people are moving in fun ways.  Some moving around of each group and the "power" behind them.
