Firstly, we discussed a number of versions of the story, for example identifying the theme as a lonely boy, but due to the difficulty of creating vfx for the story scenes and the lack of logic. So after a lot of discussion we decided to go for “The choice of the plastic bag” and create a vfx for the last part of the video.

So, after the theme was chosen, we explored the plot: the next step was to find a coffee shop where we could film and draw the subplot. The following subplot was drawn by Minhan Lv.

On Wednesday of this week we gathered together in a restaurant near King’s Cross railway station for a three-hour shoot. As I had injured my shoulder, I had to play the role of director to help them out, sakshi did the filming and minhan and mahadev did the roles.

Our plan was to create special effects in this environment, such as a city that starts out as a ruined and destroyed city, and gradually turns into an environmentally friendly green city.

Very enjoyable shoot, first experience of the rigours of shooting. You need to shoot a shot many times to get the effect you want.

Here’s some of our dialogue

Minghan :Hi bro how are you doing

Mahadev: Good ,Good
Is it a plastic bag?

Minghan :yeahh (Pause)
You know these plastic bags are just so convenient. Who cares about reusable ones?

Mahadev :
I do

Using reusable bags is so important for the environment.
Its about making small changes for a better future

Minghan
Oh come on. Whats the harm in using platic once in a while

Mahadev : Imagine a world where everyone thought that way. Our cities would turn into chaotic messes, covered in plastic waste. Pollution would choke our air, and wildlife would suffer immensely.

Minghan : Thats so true, What have we done?

Mahadev: Small choices can make a big difference. Choosing reusable over plastic isn’t just about convenience; it’s about preserving the beauty of our planet for generations to come.

Mighan : You’re right. I never looked at it that way. Maybe it’s time for a change.
