Everything leaves
the television.
The screen is unmistakably the source. The first release comes straight at the lens. An empty studio keeps the opening focused on that event.
EARLIER STORYBOARD · 40 SECONDS · NINE SHOTS
An old television opens into the projects we’ve built. This board explores how each shot could lead into the next.
These rough frames use drawn shapes and existing project images. The notes below each frame describe the camera movement and transitions.

THE WHOLE FILM, AT A GLANCE
THE VISUAL RULES
The screen is unmistakably the source. The first release comes straight at the lens. An empty studio keeps the opening focused on that event.
It becomes a control, a lens, a word card or a window into a world. Warm light, clear edges, sharp content and concentrated bursts of coral, citrus, pink and green.
A plotted line becomes a ridge. A ball becomes an O. A word tile locks into the engine. Its connections become an inhabitable world.
HOW THIS WOULD BE MADE
This is the earlier storyboard. Later cuts are available from the film lab.
Material reference: Apple’s “Meet Liquid Glass” ↗. The useful principle is a responsive layer of controls over content. Here, those controls provide transitions between PolyForj projects.
