Some other ideas about Animation

This is my idea last week:
There ks a tall building, without doors in each floor, but an elevator only go upstairs. It has 23 floors, every floor means one age, character can see himself in every floor.
This idea comes from the points that:every part of man, including reason, has its counterpart in the world.
So, I have more ideas about the animation.

3D Animation
Three parts

One(babyhood):
A man stands in the front of a tall building.He presses "up" and then the F6 as usual. But strangely, the elevator does not stop in Floor 6, it goes on upstairs, and it goes faster and faster. Suddenly, it stops, the door opens, the man see one baby( looks like the man) lie in (stand in)a baby carriage, smiles.A snake come in, but the baby still smile. The man want to stretch out his hands and shout aloud, but the door closes. The man surprised about that why the baby disappears before him! The baby sees the direction of the man, but then he changes, his eyesight follow one another thing in a circle. Suddenly the baby try to catch it, and it seems that the baby will fall out of the carriage. The man stretches his right hand, and want to help the baby, but the door closes.

Two(childhood):
The elevator goes down.
The elevator takes the man to another floor.
The door opens. The man sees a child (of course looks like the man), he is playing the piano.
The child stops playing, lowers his head to the hands, then sees the direction of the man. After five seconds, he goes on playing the piano.
The man(in the elevator) lowers his head to see his hands, look depressed. 
The door closes again.

Three(Adulthood):
The elevator opens in "6th".
The man sees another him(in the same cloth) busy in working, 
In this floor, the man can see another man being in a elevator, looking at him, and want to stretch out his hands and say something.But the door closes. The man goes back to his work and life.

In fact, in this side of the elevator, the man can see his lifetime from birth to now, and in another side of the elevator, another him can see his lifetime from now to birth. That means in this side, you are experiencing the birth, and in another side, another you may be experiencing the adulthood, everything may be in reverse. I want to express that do not be too sad about what has happened, what is happening and what will happen, every result is always the best, because you do not know whether there is another you suffering from another worse results.

Notes for New Materialism (2)

Notes for New Materialism 

“New materialism is then “new”in the sense that it is an attempt to ‘leap into the future without adequate preparation in the present, through becoming, a movement of becoming-more and becoming-other, which involves the orientation to the creation of the new, to an unknown future, what is no longer recognizable in terms of the present.' In art this analysis could be the study of matter and meaning" (from http://newmaterialistscartographies.wikispaces.com/New+Materialism)
("The movement of becoming-more and becoming-other"is just I think it means everything can be existed forever, maybe in different shape, form, but the substance is always the same.)

Notes for New Materialism

(From book named "New Materialism", written by James K. Feibleman)

Man is part of the world from which he emerged and to which he must return.There is a sense in which he can be said never to have left it.
(This is in fact what I meant last week, I meant everyone lives forever, because they don't die in a real death.)

The Greek knew very well that man is a natural animal, and no less so because it is native to him to be rational. They thought that every part of man, inclkuding reason, has its counterpart in the world.
(This is what I want to show in my animation, the man can see another himself in a building, and different floor has different appearance of him which means different ages.)
