1 BOXED-UP CROWDFUNDING ANIMATION SCRIPT 1

Open in an empty space, it's dark. A fire materialises in the
darkness, it rages and spits as we talk further.
NARRATOR (V.O.)
Concentrate. You feel deep down that
fire inside of you, that primal
instinct we're all blessed with. It
spits and rages when threatened. It
makes us fight, rather than lay down
to die.
The fire transforms into countries at war. Dead bodies, world
leaders, flags.
NARRATOR (CONT'D) (V.O.)
Sure, at first we defended
ourselves, and those closest to us.
Now we fight in colonies, for our
country. For that giddy sense of
patriotism. Armies Made of the
honourable men and woman who bare
witness to all aspects of our
threatened condition. They are the
few to truly have seen the darkest
parts of the human soul.
Fade to darkness.
NARRATOR (CONT'D) (V.O)
Fighting what's in front of you,
that's easily done. But what happens
when that threat comes at night,
when the guard is down, you sleep.
Cosmic winds brush through the darkness. A little girl stands
alone. Spirits and ghosts begin to materialise around her.

NARRATOR (CONT'D) (V.O)

Instead, not a person or group, but
a spirit. Like ghosts in your mind.
They rain down on you like a blanket
of savage, swarming creatures,
trying to take you from your family
and those you love. You can't stand
up and fight, it's in your mind, in
the night. A creature that doesn't
live in our dimension, a higher
power.

The spirits and the ghosts disappear. A cube draws itself

around the girl, protecting her.

NARRATOR (CONT'D) (V.O)

Now, what if I tell you there is a
way to fight. You just haven't
learnt it yet. Not to kill it, no.
But simply a way to protect yourself
from its clutches. Are you
interested? Yeah. Well, here's the
story...
