Treatment

Our World

Sil Barbosa

To sum up the story behind this short film is that it’s based in the future In 2210 this is way past the extinction of humans and how the world is without humans, So the viewers will be able to experience my views on how I see the world after humans and most animals/creatures have migrated into the cities where humans used to co-exist between themselves. So the story follows the life of two different creatures (animals) who form a strong bond between the two and it began from a simple rescue. This city has mostly attracted some really dangerous predators and would do anything for food so it’s turned into a savage city with every predator scheming even on their own race to eat all about survival of the fittest.

The story begins with ‘DAPPA’ dappa is a small bipedal creature sort of like a beaver its fur has this blue sea colour, dappas are known for being fast and agile so they don’t make it easy to get caught, on a casual stroll looking for food, the dappa is just walking and in a dark broken down barricaded alley-way some hungry ‘Iguranas’ Igurana’s are selfish, scum of the earth evil creatures who would do anything for food even turn on their own.

As they see a perfect opportunity for a capture of the dappa they attack and the dappa spots them, the dappa panics and as they begin chasing him but the dappa is quite fast and is agile so it is hard to catch him as the road is covered with obstacles so it’s hard for the iguranas to run at their full potential but for the dappa being tiny it’s pretty easy for it but getting cocky and looking back the dappa lost focus and tripped giving the iguranas the perfect opportunity for a capture and this has woken up ‘jagular’ the main character alongside dappa, the jagular is a panther like bipedal creature maybe throughout hundreds of years the evolution of a jaguar may be jagular as  a result. Jagular is mostly feared throughout these areas and picks up the dappa fighting off the iguranas, and jumping away as the jagular is very agile and its purely adapted to its surroundings so it flows through the city with so much fluidity and its much of a fighter so it does seem to attract a lot of trouble.

After helping the dappa it leaves it in a safe place and before it leaves the dappa jumped on its back and see’s comfort in the jagular but at the same time the jagular doesn’t like people around and loves to travel alone, so the jagulars plans is to take it across town where it can be with peaceful other creatures and it can stay away from the jagular itself but as they begin to travel and the experiences that they go through the jagular and the dappa begin this strong bond where they both benefit from each other.

Gives me a idea for a eco-system in a future, where humans are all wiped out and mostly animals and humanoid creatures are existent

Great picture from Russian artist Vladimir Manyuhin, who transforms real life places into broken down, decayed buildings and gives that ghost town abandoned feel to the images also animals have migrated to these cities and this is giving me a real good idea towards my project.
