On Post-Reapings of Forbidden Fruit


I am currently in the pre-pre-pre-production stages of an animated series ("car⋅toon") concerning a Junior High school set at a junction plane between various universes. This plane is called the Alternate Learning Terrain, hence "ALT", the name of the show. The story concerns the school's aims to teach that laws of physics, nature, and reality are constantly changing in our expanding universe, leading to insane humorous and dramatic events transpiring in a 29.6 minute time period concerning several characters of a flamboyantly "animated" nature. The main character, Tommy, is a 13-year-old orphan from our universe (as close to it as cartoons get) who lives in an apartment building on his own (adopted by the kindly landlord Mr. Angles). Tommy has a stutter, which leads him to be extremely shy, hiding behind his long hair. Instead of attempting to speak, Tommy gets out his expressions through dance moves, though having no dance experience, he moves with a natural passion (he has learned through watching Michael Jackson, Gene Kelly, & Fred Astaire intensely in his childhood, left behind for him by his parents. Drama!!).



anyway...




A wormhole appears in Tommy's bedroom one day. These things tend to be unexplained! Especially how it leads him to ALT & how he decides to go to this crazy universe school, finding a much better reality in a lack of one. Tagline? Perhaps. From there on in certain things start happening, dealing with energy, the space-time continuum, astral bodies, universal vibrations, and hormones. Did I mention they're 13? And there's a girl! Several, actually. Men, too. Adults, seniors. A general assorment of humans, picked fresh for their characteristic goodies.This show will be extremely math - a big use of sin wavs, spirals & the like. I like relating physics & math to the nature of the universe. In fact, I like relating. A lot of that will be going on too - sin wavs & spirals to dance, music & grooves to vibrations, emotions as vibrations seeking each other out, what grooves together etc. A lot of the teachings will be on universal similarities, evolution, formations - basically teaching kids the unpredictibility of the expanding universe.




KIDS NEED TO KNOW




And now, sketches!


Tommy's astral projecton with his dance moves embodying sin wavs NEERRRRRRD





The fact that Tommy looks like me is purely coincidental. I just happened to portray his older self in a film of mine. We're quite the pair.
