Will Close First Draft

[0:00] A man, who looks almost pixelated or digitized, moves his head slowly. The words “Matter by Will Close” appear on the screen in purple text. The song “Dancing in the Moonlight” by King Harvest plays.

[0:14] A silent clip of a man sitting down at a desk in a grey room across from a mime; purple text appears on screen:

Two men in a round, grey room,

[0:22] An animated clip of someone sitting in a wooden room as what look to be red vines move throughout the wood boards; text appears on screen:

the edges of which lay in shadow
too dark to see, or even touch

[0:33] The digitized man again. An image of a floodlight appears in the top right-hand corner; text appears on screen:

A floodlight is there, but neither man can bring himself 
to let the other turn it on.

[0:49] The animated clip again. The person still sits as the vines or cords continue to move. Another shot shows the vines seemingly coming out of a collection of televisions. The image of a lightbulb is superimposed over the clip; text appears on screen:

So they huddle in the light
of a single incandescent bulb, on loan 

[0:57] Hot pink energy shoots through the vines into the center of the screen, where the light bulb is. This releases an explosion of light. Now, the television screens turn blue and the one in the center shows a human eye; text appears on screen:

from the one behind the PA
Who occasionally roars at one man 

[1:03] Now the floodlight image is superimposed. It flashes on as the vines extend outward from the televisions and towards the chair in the center of the room. The cords or vines coil around until they have formed the outline of a person sitting in the chair. They hold out a remote for the “man,” and when he touches it a bright light bursts from the televisions; text appears on screen:

to turn the floodlight on
and whispers at the other to stop him

[1:18] The digitized man continues to move his head as the lights that form his facial structure fade in and out; text appears on screen:

So it goes, two bitter rivals, boxed in shadow.

[1:41] Behind the man’s head, the image of two animated hands approaching and eventually grasping one another appears; text appears on screen:
 
Never knowing that, if hand-in-hand they flip the switch

[1:49] A black screen. The floodlight appears again as it turns on. Its light eventually starts to fill the entire image; text appears on screen:

The light will be twice as bright
