300 words narrative and Storyboard
There is a young boy who lives in the city. His name is Green. A lot of buildings are around him. He is reading a book. The book is telling a story. Once upon a time there was a nice forest. His grand-grand –grandfather was sitting under a tree and also reading a book. The book is called ‘building your own house’. Meanwhile, a little minibus stopped in front of this man. A people with a yellow hat and holding an axe came out from the minibus. These two men had a short chart and the yellow hat man started trying to cut the tree down. When the tree was cut down, he used the tree to build a house. Green’s GGGfather was very happy to live in it and the house had a very nice view to the forest. His neighbours was very interested in his new house and wanted to have a same one. Few months later, the new houses turn up more and more, but the trees disappeared faster and faster. One day, when Green’s GGGfather opened the window again, the forest became a huge piece of stumps. He could only see those buildings. Those buildings are sitting on where the trees were.
Than the scene changes to now and those building finally became like what we see today at the beginning.
I am thinking to use the natural power to destroy all the buildings and restore the forest and let people have the feeling of contrast.
I decide to show the trees in 3D format and the houses in 2D. So I can create the feeling of solid things becoming flat. The tree is alive but the house is dead. The idea of origami will be used in this video and the forest could be the real footage.

TRANSFORMABLE, FOLDING SPACE
For this task I am going to keep looking for the way of defining efficiency. Urbanisation is like a high speed running gear which will never stop. The power and strength it brings had never happened in the past. People start getting used to it and desire more. When building has been built, the original natural environment was lost. The urbanisation brings the speed and power of modernisation but also breaks the ecological balance. In this video, I may be showing the present and the past as a comparison to create the contrast between solid building and natural tree. In one sense, building is made of timber and using the land which tree should be growing on. It is a way of aggressing. As a result, the trees and houses might be represented by different element, such as paper.
