Thumbnail Storyboard by Kinsuji

The Young Person and Old Person stand looking at the movie poster outside the theater.

Slow piano music starts. We dolly slow as the beats begin.

We go round with beat gone and only piano playing.

Some orchestra added.


We see curious young man and the wise old man. They are looking at the poster.

Young man notices a old man besides him. He looks happy with that. He is anxious to ask old man something. Violin goes with beat.


YOUNG PERSON : That was a great movie... Young person attracts old man’s attention and they turn face to face. Cut to side view.


YOUNG PERSON (cont.) : but I don’t understand one thing. The old person looks interested. OLD PERSON (softly) : What's that?


Slow piano music


Young man looks uncomfortable to ask stranger such a question, but he is too curious. YOUNG PERSON: I don’t understand how anyone can be seduced by the dark side.


CU to old person. Old person thinks for a minute, looks happy with the question Piano with windpipes and violins. Merry music becomes darker.


OLD PERSON (removing his glasses): What computer do you use at home?


YOUNG PERSON (immediate, eagerly respond) : A Macintosh! A Macintosh! All music becomes glitchy, very unusual. Computer generated like.

Old person looks happy about the answer and asks further question warmer voice. OLD PERSON: And what computer does your father use at work?



Camera lays low to the young person. He thinks a few moments. Music relaxes. Piano.


Suddenly young person smiles in amazement. With the beat start. YOUNG PERSON (exclaims loudly) : Seduced by the dark side!!!


Young person looks happy into the old person. He understood and learned an important lesson.


Old person smiles too. He knows...


They shake hands in front of poster who “made” them friends for a lifetime.


Music becomes very entertaining. Moving. We look at the scene until our heroes disappear from the screen.


We come back to the poster on the wall. It waits for new people to make them happy. Star wars theme mixes with our movie theme.
